Descaling
Regular descaling
■ prolongs the life of the appliance;
■ ensures that it functions properly;
■ avoids risk of injury, e.g. uncontrolled
pouring if filter is covered with limescale;
■ saves energy.
Descale the kettle with vinegar or a
commercially available descaling agent.
■ Fill the kettle up to the max mark with
water without vinegar or descaling agent
and bring to the boil.
■ Then add a small amount of white
vinegar to the hot water and let the kettle
stand for several hours. You can also
use a descaling agent according to the
manufacturer’s instructions (observe
safety instructions).
■ Then rinse the kettle and limescale filter
with clean water.
Attention: Never use hard objects to
remove limescale residue as this will
damage the seal.
Tip: If you use the kettle daily, descale
more frequently.
Troubleshooting
The appliance does not heat and the
temperature display does not light up.
– The overheating protection has tripped.
■ Let the kettle cool down for a while so
that the appliance can be switched on
again.
Boiling is ended prematurely by the
appliance.
– Build-up of limescale in the appliance.
■ Descale the appliance according to the
instructions.
■ For reasons of physics condensation may
form on the base. This is normal, and the
kettle is not leaking.
■ If the temperature is set to 100°C, boiling
will only stop once the water has reached
boiling point, i.e. it will bubble for a short
period of time beforehand.
■ After boiling, let the kettle cool down for
5 minutes before refilling.
■ Do not turn on the appliance if the kettle
is empty. Otherwise the overheating
protection will trip and the appliance will
switch off automatically.
Keep warm
During boiling and 1 minute afterwards the
keep warm function can be activated in
addition to the selection of any temperature
level.
To do so, touch the U (keep warm) button.
U will light up, and the function is activated.
To switch off, touch the U (keep warm)
button again. U will go out.
Attention: If you lift the kettle and replace
it within one minute, the kettle will continue
heating.
Info: The keep warm function automatically
switches off after 30 minutes, and a signal
sounds.
Cleaning and maintenance
W Danger of electric shock!
Never immerse the appliance in water or
place it in the dishwasher!

■ Pull out the mains plug.
■ The kettle and base should only be wiped
down on the outside with a damp cloth.
