INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Before using the kettle for the first time, remove the kettle and wash the inside with normal dishwashing detergent. After this rinse it with lukewarm water. Before using the kettle for the first time, fill the kettle with clean, cold drinking water to the maximum level, turn it on and bring the water to the boil. Then pour the water out and repeat the process at least five times. This procedure will properly boil the kettle and get rid of any potential aftertaste. If you feel there is an aftertaste from the boiled water, we recommend repeating the process. Another recommendation is to leave the empty kettle open for 24 hours. The material of the kettle in contact with water is certified that it presents no risk to health and safety. Any slight “smell” or “aftertaste” during initial use after unpacking the kettle is normal and should not be grounds for a complaint.

Basic operation

1. Place the base on a dry, smooth and flat surface and insert the plug into the socket. After placing the kettle onto the base, the power is automatically switched on.
2. Fill the kettle with water to at least the “MIN” mark (0.5l)
3. Lightly press the power button (7), a beep sounds and the button next to the boil indicator (4) lights up, this means that the water is starting to boil.
4. You can see the current water temperature in the kettle on the display (3)
5. When the water reaches boiling point, the indicator light will go out and a beep will sound.

Note: if you wish to stop the kettle boiling, press the button (7) again. A double beep sounds and the boil indicator light (4) goes out. Setting and maintaining the temperature of the boil without boiling the water to 100°C:

If you wish the boiling water to be interrupted when the desired temperature is reached, place the kettle on the base (8) and select the desired temperature (40 °C/55 °C/80 °C/90 °C) by pressing the temperature control button (6) repeatedly; this temperature is shown on the display (3). As soon as the “beep” sounds, the kettle starts boiling. When the kettle has finished boiling to the desired temperature, it beeps briefly 3 times, then the kettle starts the temperature hold function for a duration of 24 hours. The temperature hold function is active when the LED next to the temperature hold indicator (5) is lit The kettle will start boiling water again if the selected temperature drops by 10°C.

Notes: You can cancel the temperature hold by briefly pressing the off button (7) Setting and maintaining the temperature of the boil with boiling water to 100 °C: If you wish the water to boil to 100°C first and then maintain the temperature you have selected, place the kettle on the base (8) and select the desired temperature (40°C/55°C/80°C/90°C) by pressing the temperature control button (6) repeatedly, this temperature is shown on the display (3).

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR KETTLE
Wipe the outer surface of the kettle with a soft damp cloth or sponge. Remove dirt in difficult areas with a damp cloth and a mild liquid detergent. Do not use a wire brush or other abrasive means. Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. From time to time, depending on the composition – and hardness – of your water, limescale deposits will naturally form and usually stick to the heating element, reducing the heating efficiency. The amount of limescale build-up and the subsequent need for cleaning or descaling depends largely on the hardness of the water in your region and the frequency of use of the kettle. The limescale formed is not harmful to health, but if it gets into your drink, it can give you a powdery taste. Therefore limescale should be regularly removed from the kettle as outlined below.

LIMESCALE REMOVAL
Remove limescale regularly. During normal use this means at least twice per year.

1. Fill the kettle to the “max” mark with a solution of one part vinegar and two parts water. Turn on and wait for the appliance to switch off automatically.
2. Leave the solution overnight.
3. Dispose of the solution the following morning.
4. Fill the kettle with clean water up to the MAX mark and let it boil again.
5. Pour away this boiled water, which will also remove any remaining vinegar residue.
6. Rinse the inside of the kettle with clean water.
