USING THE APPLIANCE

Before first use, remove and wash the kettle with an ordinary detergent used for washing dishes. Then rinse with lukewarm water. Fill the kettle with clean, cold, and potable water up to max. level before first use, switch it on, and bring the water to a boil. Then pour the water out and repeat the procedure at least five times. With this procedure, you will properly clean the kettle and remove any possible after-taste. If you have the impression that you taste plastic from the boiled water, we recommend to repeat the procedure. It is also recommended the leave the empty kettle open for 24 hours. The kettle material coming into contact with water is certified as harmless to health. Any slight “smell” or “after-taste” during initial use after unpacking the kettle is a normal phenomenon and should not be cause for the return of the appliance.

Basic operation

Place the base on a dry, smooth, and level surface and insert the plug into the socket. When the kettle is placed in the base, the power is automatically switched on.
Fill the kettle with water, at least up to the “MIN” mark.
Fill the tea strainer (5) with the desired amount of leaf tea, remove the top lid (1) place the strainer (5) in the teapot, and close the teapot with the top lid (1).
Press the power button (10) briefly, a beep sounds, and the button (10) flashes, indicating that the water is boiling.
When the water reaches boiling point, the indicator light will go out and a beep will sound.

Water dechlorination:
Press the power button (10) briefly, a beep sounds and the kettle starts. Then press the dechlorination button (9), a beep will sound and the dechlorination of the water will start. After 3 minutes of boiling, the heating automatically stops and a beep sounds – this means that the dechlorination is complete.

Temperature setting:
Press the power button (10) briefly, as soon as the beep sounds, the kettle will start to boil. Use the temperature control buttons (7) to select the desired temperature (40°C / 50°C / 60°C / 70°C / 80°C / 90 °C). When finished, a beep sounds and the kettle switches off. If you do not select the temperature using (7), the water will boil at 100 °C.

Setting and maintaining the boiling temperature:
Press the power button (10) briefly, as soon as the beep sounds, the kettle will start to boil. Press the button and then use +/- to select the desired temperature. When the boil is complete, the on/off button (10) flashes, this means that the kettle will start the temperature maintenance function and will keep the temperature for 2 hours. The kettle will start boiling water again if the selected temperature drops by 10°C.

Note: If the temperature hold setting is active and the kettle is removed from the base, the temperature hold setting needs to be reset.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR KETTLE

Remove the top lid (1), the tea strainer (5) and the bottom lid (2) from the kettle. Wipe the outer surface of the kettle with a soft damp cloth or sponge. Remove stubborn areas with a cloth dampened with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive wire or other harsh means. Do not immerse the kettle 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 thus formed is not harmful to health. But if it gets into your drink, it can give your drink a powdery taste. The kettle should therefore be descaled regularly as outlined below. Clean the top lid (1), the tea strainer (5) and the bottom lid (2) with detergent and a cloth.

Wipe the base (4) on the outside using wet cloth. Make sure the base is unplugged at the time of cleaning.

DESCALING

Remove the limescale regularly. With normal use at least 2 times a year.

Fill the kettle to the “max” mark with a solution of one part plain vinegar and two parts water. Switch on and wait for the appliance to switch off automatically.
Leave the solution overnight.
Dispose of the solution the following morning.
Fill the kettle with clean water up to the MAX mark and let it boil again.
Pour off this boiled water, which will also remove the previous vinegar residue.
Rinse the inside of the kettle with clean water.
