Safety instructions

Only connect the device to properly installed earthed sockets. The wire and plug must be dry.
Do not pull the connecting cable over sharp edges or clamp it. Do not let it hang down and protect it from heat and oil.
Never disconnect the mains plug from the socket by the cord or with wet hands.
Stop using the appliance and/or disconnect it from the mains plug immediately if:
⋅ The appliance or mains cable is damaged;
⋅ the device is not leak-proof;
⋅ there is any suspicion of a fault after dropping the appliance or similar.
In such cases, send the appliance to be repaired.
Do not place the kettle on hot surfaces, such as hot plates or similar, or near open ﬂames. It could melt.
Do not place the device on water-sensitive surfaces. Water spray may damage them.
Do not operate the device under delicate furniture. Escaping steam from boiling could damage the furniture.
Never operate the kettle unattended.
Do not switch on the device without water.
Take the pot for ﬁlling from the base.
Only ﬁll with clean water, not milk, coffee, etc.
Do not move the device during operation and do not pull on the mains cable.
Caution: the device is hot. Risk of scalding from escaping steam. Only take hold of the hot kettle from the handle and do not open the lid when pouring.
Always completely empty the pot. Do not let any residual water remain in the device for a long period of time.
The mains plug is to be pulled:
⋅ if malfunctions occur during use,
⋅ before cleaning and care,
⋅ after use.
No liability is accepted for any damages resulting from misuse, incorrect operation or improper repairs.
Claims under warranty are likewise excluded in such cases.
Packaging material, such as plastic ﬁlm bags, do not belong in the hands of children.

Start-up

Thoroughly clean the inside of the pot prior to the ﬁrst use. To do so, open the lid by pressing the button on the handle.
A strainer insert in the pour spout ensures that larger limescale particles are kept back when pouring.
The unnecessary length of the connecting cable can be wound at the bottom of the base part.
Connect the mains plug to an earthed socket.
Fill with the desired amount of water up to the Max line. Close the lid. Only in this way does the automatic boil stop work reliably.
Place the pot on the base in any position. Now you can press down the power switch below the handle. The control lamp in the power switch shows that the device is heating.
The power switch only engages if the pot is on the base.
Do not use the water from the ﬁrst boiling process for food preparation.
Automatic shutoff
The automatic boil stop switches off the device shortly after the water is boiled. The shutoff time is extended if the pot is only ﬁlled with a little water.
If only warm water is desired, the heating process can always be stopped by pressing the power switch.
The shutdown takes place automatically if the pot is lifted from the base.
For functional reasons, some condensation may run out of the outlet openings at the bottom of the handle to the edge of the base. This happens for technical reasons and does not impair the safety of the device.
Safety system
A thermostat protects the kettle from overheating due to accidental operation without water by switching off the device.
It is essential to allow the pot to cool down before ﬁlling with water.
Should the ﬁrst thermostat malfunction due to improper use, an additional temperature limiter ensures reliable protection.

Cleaning and maintenance

Remove the mains plug and allow the device to cool down. Do not immerse the device in water, but rather clean them with a damp cloth with a little washing-up ﬂuid and then dry off.
Do not use any sharp and abrasive cleaning agents.
The pot is made of stainless steel. Should rust spots nevertheless appear, they are only deposits adhered to the surface. They should be removed immediately with a stainless steel cleanser.
The strainer insert in the pour spout can be removed for cleaning when the lid is open. To do so, press its upper clip upward. When inserting, place the strainer in the middle of the base and then snap it forward into place.
Descaling
Please descale your appliance regularly using a high-quality commercial descaling agent. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, particularly with regard to the subsequent cleaning with clear water, which is essential! Suitable descaling agents contain inhibitors that protect appliances against damage to seals and surfaces, do not cause additional deposits and have no taste. Do not use descaling agents that are unsuitable for your appliance (such as substances based purely on vinegar or citric acid). Our warranty does not cover damage caused by using unsuitable descaling agents or failure to follow the descaling instructions. Please keep descaling agents out of reach of children and make sure you do not inhale any of the steam given off during descaling.
Causes for malfunctions

If the pouring behaviour worsens/diminishes: check the strainer and descale/clean the strainer if necessary

Bottom of the pot is too strongly calciﬁed, it is not ﬁlled with enough water
Device does not switch off:
Lid is not closed
Device will not switch on:
The device has not sufﬁciently cooled down following operation with no or too little water.
If it is not possible to ﬁx this problem, submit the device for repair.
