water has boiled or the kettle is remo-
ved from the base.
If you want to stop the heating process

Safety system

This appliance is equipped with a boil-
dry safety cut-out. This feature pro-
tects the appliance from overheating
when started without water or from
boiling until it is empty if used with
the lid open. If the appliance is acci-
dently switched on without water, it is
automatically protected against over-
heating. The heating process is auto-
matically interrupted. Before using the
kettle again let it cool down for 5-
10 minutes.

Cleaning and care

Always disconnect the kettle from the
1
mains supply before cleaning.
Never clean the kettle and base unit
1
under running water or immerse it in
washing-up water.
0 Occasionally rinse out the kettle with
clean water.
0 Clean the outside of the appliance only
using a damp cloth. Do not use any
caustic or abrasive cleansing agents.
0 Hold strainer insert (B) at grip (1) and
lift insert out for cleaning.
0 The heating base is made of stainless
steel. If, however, spots of rust appear,
these are only deposits adhering to the
surface. They can be removed with a
stainless steel cleaning agent.
Descaling
Lime scale deposits on the bottom of
the kettle result in loss of energy and
can affect the service life of the appli-
ance. The appliance switches off before
boiling if the layer of scale is too thick.
It is then very difficult to remove.
The appliance should be descaled regu-
larly depending on the level of the
water hardness. Use a standard des-
caler following the directions; prefera-
bly choose an environmentally friendly,
descaling agent suitable for stainless
steel according to the instructions
from the manufacturer.
0 First fill in water, then a standard des-
caling preparation which is not too
strong.
1 Do not boil the solution as it could
foam over.
0 After descaling, rinse the kettle out
thoroughly with clean water. Never
pour descaling agents into an enamel
sink and do not reuse them.
