Safety advice for using the appliance

CAUTION: Hazard of injury and burns!
Housing surfaces, lid, spout and water are getting hot during operation! Hot surfaces are initially still hot, even after switch-off!
Thus, act with caution!

• It is essential to observe the min (0.5 I) and max (1. 7 I) markings for the filling quantity in the level indicator! If the appliance is overfilled or operated with the lid open, hot water may spout!

• Take care of steam escaping in the lid area and during operation only touch the handle of the kettle.

• Keep the lid closed during the warming/boiling process and when pouring out.

• To protect against the risk of fire, generally do not place any objects made of paper, plastic, fabric or other combustible materials on hot surfaces!

• Never operate the water kettle without any water or with other base unit than the supplied one!

• Never open the lid until the warming/boiling process is completed, other- wise there is a risk of scalding from escaping steam or water splashing out!

• Do not leave residual water in the water tank for a long time.

• Only get the base unit into use when it is dry! If the base unit is wet or damp, pull the power plug immediately and dry the base unit. The electrical contact must be protected against splashing water.

• Always let the appliance cool down before filling in fresh water!

• Observe the following when setting up the appliance:

• Unwind the power cord completely from the cord take-up.

• Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, stable and even surface (no varnished surfaces, no table cloths etc.).

• Never place the appliance on electric heating plates or gas flames!

• Place it beyond children’s reach.

• Leave enough ventilation distance to all sides of the appliance to avoid damage by heat or steam and to grant an unobstructed work area. Unhindered air supply has to be ensured.

• Do not operate the appliance below wall-mounted cupboards, protruding shelves or in the vicinity of objects sensitive to moisture.
  Make sure steam can draw off easily!

• Never place the water kettle in a cupboard during operation!

• Do not operate the appliance in the vicinity of sources of heat (oven, gas flame etc.) or in explosive environments, where inflammable liquids or gases are located.

• Only fill the water kettle with cold, clean water! Never operate the appliance with any other liquids!

Overheating protection
Note: A fixed temperature controller protects the heating element from overheating if the appliance is switched on by accident without any water or if the heating plate is calcified. The appliance then cannot be switched on. In this case, first let the kettle cool down and, if necessary, carry out a decalcification before using it again.

Cleaning and maintenance

Descaling of the appliance

• Descale the kettle with a commercially available descaler at regular intervals or if the appliance shows visible calcifications.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The warranty claim expires for appliances that do not work properly due to insufficient decalcification.

Disposal/recycling

Packaging material
Do not simply throw the packaging material away but recycle it. Deliver paper, cardboard and corrugated cardboard to wastepaper collection points. Also put plastic packaging material and foils into the specific collection containers.

The printed or embossed markings indicate the materials which were used: PE stands for polyethylene (code 02 means high-density PE, 04 stands for low -density PE), PS stands for polystyrene and CPE for chlorinated polyethylene.
PAP 20 means corrugated cardboard and PAP 21 other cardboard. All plas­ tics are thermoplastics which are very easy and efficient to produce. They are also very easy to recycle and therefore can even have a smaller ecological footprint than comparable cardboard packaging.
Disposal information
According to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (2012/19/ EU), this product may not be disposed of with other household waste at the end of its service life. Therefore please submit it e.g. at a municipal collection point (e.g. recycling center) according to the laws of your country of residence for the recycling of electrical and electronic appli ances. Your municipality or city administration will inform you about the disposal options.
Tip: Give appliances that are no longer required but still functional to a charitable purpose (e.g. as a donation). This does not only improve the environmental balance and ensures more sustainability, but also testifies to a welcome social commitment.
