Quick guide from the manual
This kettle is designed for heating water in household environments. Before first use, remove all packaging, clean the interior, and wind excess cable in the base. Always use the kettle with its provided base and ensure the lid is closed for the automatic shut-off to function correctly. Do not overfill beyond the MAX mark.
Description of the device
The kettle consists of the following main components:
- 1. One-handed lid opening
- 2. Scale filter
- 3. Water reservoir
- 4. Water level indicator
- 5. Appliance base with cable winding
- 6. Temperature display
- 7. Increase temperature button (Plus)
- 8. Decrease temperature button (Minus)
- 9. Start/Stop button
- 10. On/Off button (standby button)
Operation
To boil water:
- Connect the plug to an earthed socket.
- Fill with the desired amount of water (do not exceed MAX).
- Close the lid securely.
- Place the kettle on the base and press the On/Off button. The last set temperature will be displayed.
- Use the Plus/Minus buttons to set the desired temperature (between 40°C and 100°C in 5°C increments).
- Press the Start/Stop button to begin heating.
- The display shows the live temperature. A signal sounds when the target temperature is reached, and the kettle switches off automatically.
You can interrupt the process at any time by pressing the Start/Stop button, the On/Off button, or by lifting the kettle from the base.
Cleaning and care
Always unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning. Do not immerse the kettle or base in water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and a little detergent. The scale filter in the spout can be removed for cleaning by pressing the upper clip upward.
Descaling
Descale the appliance regularly using a high-quality commercial descaling agent. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, especially regarding the subsequent rinsing with clear water. Do not use unsuitable agents like pure acetic or citric acid, as this may void the warranty.
Troubleshooting
If the kettle does not perform as expected, check the following:
- Pouring issues: Check the scale filter; clean or descale if necessary.
- Switches off before boiling: The pot bottom may have too much limescale, or there is not enough water.
- Does not switch off: Ensure the lid is fully closed.
- Will not switch on: The appliance may not have cooled down sufficiently after a dry run or low-water operation.
