Product Description

NOTICE:

Before first use, we recommend boiling the maximum volume of water at least 3 times and pour it out. Afterwards, the kettle is ready for use.

The kettle may only be used with the supplied base.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the kettle from the base, open the lid and fill it with cold water (the water level must be within the MINMAX watermarks inside of the kettle).
Place the kettle on the base. The electrical contacts will connect automatically. Thanks to the central connector design, the kettle can turn around 360° and can be placed on the base from any side.
Connect the base to the mains. You will hear a sound signal, all the indicators will light up for a moment and then the current temperature will remain lit. The kettle is ready for use.
By pressing the On/Off button, the kettle automatically boils water to 100 °C.
If you want to select one of the pre-set temperatures (45, 60, 70, 85, 90 or 95 °C), press the Temperature control button repeatedly until the desired temperature lights up on the display and press the On/Off button to confirm. From now on, the kettle will boil water to the set temperature.
The kettle beeps three times and automatically switches off after reaching the boiling point or the set temperature.
Remove the kettle from the base and use the water.
If you need to reheat the water that has just been boiled, wait approximately 30 second before switching on the kettle again.

Note:

During the heating process, a red indicator is always displayed.
You can stop the heating process at any time by pressing the On/Off button.
The kettle has the KEEP WARM function. If you set the temperature to 45, 60, 70, 85, 90 or 95 °C, press and hold the Temperature control button for approximately 3 seconds. A green indicator lights up on the display, which indicates that the KEEP WARM function is activated (to switch off the KEEP WARM function, press and hold the Temperature control button again for approximately 3 seconds, the indicator goes off). Once the selected temperature is reached, the kettle will maintain this temperature (45 °C for the next 8 hours, 60 °C for the next 4 hours, 70 and 85 °C for the next 2 hours and 90 and 95 °C for the next 60 minutes).
A few drops of water appearing on the base of the kettle after use is not a sign of a defect. It is a small amount of condensed water, which deactivates the kettle thermostat.
If you have set the temperature to 45, 60, 70, 85, 90 or 95 °C, this temperature can be changed during operation by pressing the Temperature control button (not applicable when boiling water to 100 °C).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Caution!

Before each cleaning of the appliance, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet! Make sure the appliance has cooled before handling it!
To clean the surface of the appliance, use only a damp cloth, no detergents or hard objects, as they can damage the surface of the appliance!

Descaling

During normal use, deposition of impurities from water occurs. Use commercially available descaling agents to clean them (follow the manufacturer’s instructions).
Note: Remove the deposits regularly, approximately once a week, depending on the water hardness and frequency of use. The deposits significantly reduce the heating capacity and the lifespan of the appliance.

WARRANTY TERMS

Warranty

The manufacturer (or importer) is responsible for ensuring the product complies with the requirements of applicable legal regulations as well as those of the relevant technical standards. Moreover, they are responsible for ensuring the product has the properties the manufacturer described in documents related to the goods or those reasonably expected by the customer with regard to the nature of the goods or based on advertising produced by the manufacturer, and further they are responsible for ensuring the product is fit for the purpose proposed by the manufacturer or that a product of the same type is normally used for.

The quality warranty term is 24 months from product takeover by the customer.

The warranty does not apply to wear and tear caused by regular use. The customer shall not be entitled to any warranty claims if, prior to taking the product over, they knew the product contained a defect or if the defect is attributable to the customer.

The warranty specifically does not apply:

if the product installation, operation and service conditions stipulated in the product operating manual have not been adhered to,
to malfunctions caused due to mechanical, heat or chemical damage, short circuit, over voltage or incorrect installation,
to malfunctions caused by an inexpert third-party intervention,
to malfunctions caused by natural disaster,
to malfunctions caused by insufficient or inappropriate maintenance in violation of the operating manual, including malfunctions caused by water and other sediments,
to changes in colour of the heating surface or to scratching of the surface caused as a result of using the products in an unusual manner,
to appearance and functional changes caused by exposure to sunlight, thermal radiation of water and other sediments,
if the service life of certain product parts expires, e.g. for accumulators, bulbs, etc.

The warranty does not apply to any products and services provided along with the product (gifts, promotional articles, etc.).

Filing a complaint

A complaint against a product defect must be filed as soon as identified, yet no later than before the end of the warranty term.

The customer must file a product complaint with the dealer from which they have purchased the product, or with any authorised service centre, a list of which is included in the product package, or available at
www.my-concept.com.

While filing a product complaint, the product must be duly cleaned and securely packed so as to prevent any damage during its transport to an authorised service centre, where relevant, unless the product is delivered in person.

The customer must submit proof of having concluded a purchase contract for the product by producing the receipt.

While filing their complaint, the customer must indicate the noted defect and identify the preferred complaint application method.

Complaints processing

As long as the noted defect may be removed, the user has the right to have the defect duly removed free of charge on a timely basis.

Where such a procedure is not reasonable with regard to the nature of the defect, the user may require to be supplied a new defect-free product (replacement), or, where the defect applies to a part of the product only, replacement of the part concerned. However, if replacement of the product or any part thereof is not proportionate with regard to the nature of the defect, especially if the defect can be removed without undue delay, the customer has the right to have the defect removed free of charge.

If the noted defect is not removable, or if the customer becomes entitled to replacement of the product or a part thereof, yet the replacement is not possible, for example due to the product having been sold out, the customer has the right to return the product (withdrawal from the contract).

The customer shall have the right to a new product (replacement) or to replacement of a part of the product even if the defect can be removed, provided they cannot properly use the product due to repeated occurrence of the defect or due to a high number of such defects. In such a case, the customer also has the right to return the product (by withdrawing from the contract).

If the product is not returned (the customer does not withdraw from the contract), or if the customer does not apply the right to a new defect-free product (replacement), to replacement of a part thereof or to repair of the product, they may request a reasonable discount. The customer also has a right to a reasonable discount if a new defect-free product cannot be supplied to them, or if a product part cannot be replaced or the product repaired unless the situation is remedied within a reasonable time limit, or if remedying the situation would create major discomfort on the part of the customer.

The seller, authorised service centre or a staff member authorised by them must decide about each complaint immediately or within three business days in complicated cases. This term does not include a reasonable period of time, depending on the type of product concerned, required for the defect to be assessed by an expert. A complaint, including defect removal, must be dealt with without any undue delay, yet no later than within 30 calendar days of the complaint filing date, unless the seller and the customer agree on a later deadline.

On returning the product (withdrawing from the contract) the customer must return any accessories and documents supplied along with the product.

The customer does not have the right to keep the defective parts and components of the product replaced as part of a repair of the product.

This shall be without prejudice to any other rights the customer may have in relation to the purchase of the product.

Remark: Complaints against products damaged in transport are governed by the carrier’s complaints procedure.
