Do not place the appliance or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher.
1. Wipe the outside of the kettle with a damp cloth. In the same way, the power base may
be cleaned. Make sure not to spill or drip any liquids on the power base.
2. Dry with a soft dry cloth. Polish the stainless steel parts with a soft cloth, when required.
Decalcifying the Water Container
CAUTION: Never use abrasive cleaners, any chemicals, disinfectants, cleaning pads or
any sharp utensils (i.e. metal scouring pads) for cleaning. Handle the kettle and power
base without violation. Never place the appliance or any part of it in an automatic
dishwasher.
Depending on the water hardness in your residential area, mineral deposits build up in the
water container, causing decolouration and increasing energy loss. Therefore we
recommend to decalcify the water container regularly.
1. Combine ca. 400 to 500 ml vinegar and 800 to 1000 ml water, fill this solution in the
kettle and boil. Make sure, the room is well ventilated.
2. Switch OFF and unplug. Allow to stand overnight.
3. Empty the solution from the kettle. Fill the kettle with clean water to water level mark
1600/MAX, bring to boil and discard the water.
4. Thoroughly rinse the interior of the water container with clear water. After that the
kettle will be ready for use.
Storage
Store the entire appliance (including the power base and operating instructions) on a clean
and dry surface, where it may not tilt or fall and no other objects could fall on it and where
it is safe from frost and inadmissible strain (mechanical or electric shock, heat) and where
it is out of reach of young children. Do not place any hard or heavy objects on the
appliance or any parts of it.
Always switch OFF the kettle and unplug the power base, when the appliance is not in use.
Empty remaining water and place the kettle on the power base to protect the connector
pins in the power base from dust.
When the appliance is not in use for a long period of time, decalcify the interior of the
water container (see Decalcifying the Water Container). When required, wind the power
cord round the cord storage in the bottom of the power base.
Notes for disposal
Dispose of the appliance must be effected in accordance with the corresponding local
regulations and requirements for electrical appliances. Please contact your local
disposal company.
