Overheating protection device

The electric kettle is equipped with a double action overheating protection device. In the event that you accidentally operate the electric kettle without water or if the water level is too low, causing the water to evaporate during boiling, the device will automatically switch off for your safety. Wait for a while, fill in cold water and the device will be ready to operate again.

Cleaning

• CAUTION: The appliance must not be immersed in water! Do not clean the electric kettle with heavily abrasive cleaners. They could scratch the appliance.
• Clean very dirty appliances either with lukewarm water or with a stainless steel cleaner.
• If a stainless steel cleaner is used, make sure that it is not aggressive and does not contain chlorine or acids.
• Clean the lime filter of the kettle regularly. To remove press the upper edge of the filter down and unlock it.

Care

• Use a special stainless steel care product for minor cleaning (water stains, light fingerprints, etc.).
• CAUTION: Use only for the exterior! Do not use on surfaces that come into contact with food. (inside)

Decalcifying

• If you have hard water, the electric kettle should be decalcified regularly (depending on the hardness of the water, about every 2 – 3 weeks).

• Use a commercially available liquid decalcifying product (do not use chemical decalcifiers) and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Tip: Mild calcium deposits can also be removed with a mixture of 5 to 6 tablespoons of vinegar in 0.5 l of water.
  Please observe the following when decalcifying the machine:

• First, pour cold water into the electric kettle (if the decalcifiers foams excessively, use only 0.5 l of water).

• Briefly bring it to a boil.

• Now, add the decalcifiers and let the device stand for a while.

• CAUTION: Do not bring this mixture to a boil.

• After decalcifying, rinse the pot twice with clear water.

• Do not clean the electric kettle with heavily abrasive cleaners. They could scratch the appliance.

• Note: Regularly decalcifying your electric kettle will reduce the electricity used and prolong the life of the appliance. The calcium content of water varies from region to region. Please consult your local water works or utility works for information on water hardness.

• In the event of malfunctions due to calcium deposits, the guarantee will be voided!
