Confirmed by technikzuhause.de. Resource savings refer to material usage and transportation volume. Measurement of energy savings by cooking water until automatic shut-off at maximum water capacity.
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.
