INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Remove all packaging material, remove the kettle. Remove all adhesive foils, stickers or paper from the appliance. Fill the kettle with clean water up to max., turn it on and let the water boil before first use. Then Pour the water out and repeat the process several times (at least five times). Hold the kettle A by handle A4. Pull the protrusion in the lid to open the lid A5. Fill the kettle with drinking water. The maximum volume of water is marked by a line A3 inside the kettle, the minimum volume must fill up the heating bottom up to its elevated edge. Close the lid with a snap. Place the filled kettle on a suitable solid flat surface (see par. I. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS). Plug the fork of the supply cord A6 into an el. plug. If the indicator light A2 is on, the kettle is heating the water.

In case the indicator light is not on, press the RESET button, which will put the kettle in operation. After reaching the boiling point, the appliance turns off automatically. Unplug the kettle from the mains by pulling out the fork of the supply cord A6 from the outlet.

Attention : When heating water, the lid must be closed, otherwise the steam fuse will not work!

Notice
The appliance may be stopped before reaching the boiling point by pulling out the fork of the supply cord A6 from the mains. The kettle, however, stays on which means that if you plug it back to the outlet, it will immediately resume heating. Make sure that there is water inside upon plugging in!

MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance from power supply by taking the fork of the power cord out of the socket! Clean the kettle only when it is cooled down! Do not use rough and aggressive detergents (e.g. sharp objects, scrapers, diluting agents or other solvents)! The casing of the electric kettle and the heating bottom is made of top-quality stainless steel, but in common use, impurities from water get stuck on them (water scale), particularly above the heating element. It is not rust or another material defect of the kettle container and the appliance is not subject to a complaint for this reason.

Cleaning the kettle
Pour about 50 g citric acid to the kettle with the water scale sediment. Fill the kettle to about one half and mix. After it dissolves, fill the kettle to 3/4 of the maximum amount of water. Place the electric kettle on the stand and turn it on. Before boiling, turn off the kettle, let the solution take effect for about 10 minutes and then pour it out. Clean the kettle  thoroughly with clean water. Repeat the whole procedure if the kettle is too soiled. Clean the electric kettle regularly!
