concept RK3311 Electric Kettle - DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
Prior to ﬁrst use, we recommend boiling the maximum volume of water in the kettle at least 3 times, then pouring it out.
The kettle is then ready for operation.
The kettle may only be used with the supplied base.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the kettle from the base (4), open the lid (1), and ﬁll the appliance with cold water within the permitted maximum only. If the water level in the kettle is under the recommended minimum, the kettle will keep overheating and turning off prematurely.
Note: Make sure that the lid (1) is closed properly, otherwise the kettle cannot turn off automatically
Place the kettle on the base (4); electric contacts will get connected automatically.
Thanks to the central connector design, the kettle can turn around 360° and be put on the base from any side.
Connect the base to the mains.
Turn the kettle on by pressing the switch (6).
A control light on the switch (5) signals the kettle is in operation. The kettle lid (1) must be properly closed when water is being heated.
WARNING!
Do not open the lid during heating or immediately after heating is completed. Hot steam could scald you!
After the boiling point has been reached, the kettle will turn off automatically, and the operating light will go out.
Water heating can be terminated prematurely by moving the switch (6) to the off position.
Remove the kettle from the base (4) and use the hot water.
If you want to reheat the water you have just ﬁnished boiling, wait for approximately 30 seconds before reactivating the switch (6).
The kettle ﬁlter captures all potential impurities while pouring water.

Note: It is not a sign of a defect when a small amount of water droplets appear on the kettle base (4). It is a small amount of condensed steam, which deactivates the kettle thermostat.

Scale removal
During common use water impurities are deposited. Use commercially available agents for scale removal (observe manufacturer’s instructions).
