Cleaning

DANGER! Risk of electric shock!

• Pull the mains plug 6 out of the wall socket before you clean the kettle 2.
•  The kettle 2, the device base 5, the pow- er cable and the mains plug 6 must not be immersed in water or other liquids.

DANGER! Risk of injury through scalding!
The kettle 2 becomes very hot during operation. Allow it to cool down before cleaning.

WARNING! Risk of material damage!

• Do not use any astringent or abrasive cleaning agents.

Cleaning the kettle

1. Disconnect the mains plug 6 from the wall socket.
2. Wipe the kettle 2, the device base 5 and the power cable 6 with a damp cloth if necessary. Dry with a dry cloth.
3. Allow all parts to dry completely before you put them away or use the device again.

Cleaning the limescale filter

1. Open the lid 10.
2. Pull the limescale filter 1 off upwards from the kettle 2.
3. Clean the limescale filter 1 with a moist dishcloth under running water.
4. Slot the limescale filter 1 into the intend-ed fitting in the kettle 2 and press it downwards.

Descaling

After some time, the boiling process will result in limescale being deposited in parts of the kettle (depending on the hardness of the water used). You should remove this at regu-lar intervals, because otherwise the power consumption of the device will increase.

1. Pull the limescale filter 1 off upwards from the kettle 2. If there is limescale residue in the limescale filter 1, place it in the kettle when descaling.
2. Fill the limescale remover into the ket-tle 2. Use a commercially available limescale remover, e.g. limescale remover for coffee machines. Comply with the instructions on the packaging of the limescale remover. You can find the next steps in the instructions of the limescale remover. Rinse the kettle multiple times after descaling, if necessary.
3. After descaling, rinse the limescale filter 1 well. Slot it into the intended fitting in the kettle 2 and press it downwards.

Time intervals for descaling
The intervals for descaling are dependent on the hardness of the water, and how often you use the device. Where the hardness of the water is medium or high, we recommend descaling monthly.
If using tap water, you can find out the hard-ness of the water in the area where you live by inquiring at your local waterworks.

Storage

DANGER for children!

• Keep the device out of the reach of children.
• Allow the device to cool down before you put it away.
• Figure A: coil up the power cable 6 clockwise in the bottom of the device base 5.
