Product Overview
The WMF Lono 1.3L double-walled kettle is a high-quality kitchen appliance designed for efficient water boiling. Its double-walled construction ensures that the exterior remains cooler to the touch while keeping the water hot for longer. The kettle features an automatic boil-stop function, a removable strainer in the spout to catch limescale, and a safety thermostat to prevent overheating if operated without water.
Safety Instructions
Important: Read all instructions carefully before use. This appliance is intended for household use and similar environments like staff kitchens, farmhouses, and hotels. It is not for purely commercial use. Children aged 8 and older may use the device under supervision. Keep the device and its cord out of reach of children under 8. Never immerse the pot or base in water. Always operate the kettle on its provided base and ensure the lid is closed during operation to allow the automatic shut-off to function correctly.
Start-up and Operation
Before first use, clean the inside of the pot thoroughly. Fill the kettle with fresh water up to the Max line. Place the pot on the base and press the power switch located under the handle. The indicator light will show that the device is heating. The power switch only engages when the pot is correctly positioned on the base. Do not use the water from the first boiling cycle for food preparation.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Always unplug the device and let it cool down before cleaning. Do not immerse the kettle in water; wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and a little detergent. The strainer in the spout can be removed for cleaning by pressing its upper clip upward. Regular descaling is essential to maintain performance. Use a high-quality commercial descaling agent, following the manufacturer's instructions, and ensure the kettle is rinsed thoroughly with clear water afterward.
Troubleshooting
- Pouring issues: Check the strainer and clean or descale it if necessary.
- Device switches off early: The pot base may be heavily calcified, or there is insufficient water.
- Device does not switch off: Ensure the lid is properly closed.
- Device will not switch on: The kettle may not have cooled down sufficiently after being operated with little or no water.
