Using the appliance for the first time

• For the automatic boiling shut-off to function reliably, you must close the lid.
• Place the kettle on the base in any position and press the On/Off button. The appliance beeps and the last set temperature is displayed.
• Set the desired temperature by pressing the Plus/Minus buttons. You can set the temperature individually in increments of 5°C (9 °F) between 40 and 100°C (104°F -212 °F).
• Then press the Start/Stop button to start boiling.
• The live temperature display indicates the current temperature of the water during boiling.
• Do not use the water from the first boiling process for food preparation.
• You can also adjust the desired water temperature during boiling by pressing the Plus/Minus buttons.
• You can interrupt the boiling process at any time by pressing the Start/Stop button, On/Off button or by lifting the kettle off its base.
• As soon as the water has reached the desired temperature, the appliance beeps and the automatic boiling shut-off switches the appliance off.

Setting the temperature unit (°C/°F)
Connect the mains plug to an earthed socket. Press the Plus button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds. The current temperature unit blinks in the display. Select °C or °F by pressing the Plus button and then press the Start/Stop button to confirm your choice. The appliance beeps.

Temperatures for different types of tea
The kettle can heat water to a desired temperature, such as for various types of tea:

Safety system
A thermostat protects the kettle from overheating due to accidental operation without water by switching off the appliance. 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 regulator provides reliable protection.

Cleaning and care

• Disconnect the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down. Do not immerse the appliance in water, but rather clean it using a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid, then dry it.
• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
• The pot is made of stainless steel. If rust spots do appear, however, they are only deposits that have formed on the surface. They should be removed immediately using a stainless steel cleanser.
• The strainer inserts 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 about the subsequent cleaning with clear water, which is essential. Suitable descaling agents contain inhibitors, which 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 acetic 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 vapours given off during descaling.

Minor troubleshooting

If it is not possible to fix the problem, arrange for the appliance to be repaired.
