Boiling water
ꢀ Warning
ꢀ Danger
First remove the plug from the wall power socket before
you lift the kettle from the base 4. This avoids the
risk that any water splashing out could come into
contact with live electrical connections in the base 4,
which could cause a short circuit.
Never place the electrical base 4 in close proximity to
water – a potentially fatal risk!
Notice
Always use freshly drawn water. Do not consume any
water that has already stood in the water boiler for
longer than one hour. Do not reboil water that has
cooled down. Always pour old water away.
Microbes could have formed in it!
ꢀ Injury hazard
For safety reasons, the lid 1 should not be opened
while the water is boiling or is very hot. There is a risk
of receiving severe scalds.

Cleaning and Care
Removing/replacing the pouring sieve
• Open the lid 1.
• Press from the front against the upper lug sitting
in the middle of the pouring sieve 8 and at the
same time hold it firmly by the flap.
• Remove the pourer sieve 8.
• Clean the pouring sieve 8 with a lightly moistened
dishcloth and under running water.
ꢀ Danger
Do not open any part of the housing. There are no
operating elements inside. An open housing can create
the risk of a life-threatening electrical shock.
Never submerse any parts of the appliance in
water or other liquids! This can create the risk
of a life-threatening electrical shock if residual
liquid comes into contact with powered
components.
• After cleaning it, place the pourer sieve 8 from
inside against the opening. Ensure that the lower
and the lateral lugs grip the opening. Press the
pourer sieve 8 until the upper lug engages in
the opening.
• Should the scale deposits in the pourer sieve 8
be firmly settled, lay it in a water-vinegar solution,
with a ratio of 6:1, for a few hours. The scale
deposits will dissolve themselves. Rinse the pourer
sieve 8 with lots of clear water.
Before cleaning the appliance,...
• first, remove the plug from the power socket and
allow the appliance to cool down completely.
• Clean the exterior surfaces and the power cable
with a slighly damp cloth. Be sure to dry the
appliance well before taking it back into use.
• For stainless steel surfaces, you can use appropriate Storage
cleaning agents from a specialized dealer.
• Never use any cleansers, abbrasive substances
or solvents. These can damage the appliance.
Allow the appliance to cool off completely before
putting it into storage.
• Wind the power cable around the cable winder 5
under the base 4.
• Store the appliance in a dry place.
In the event of scale deposits
• Before descaling, remove the pourer sieve 8
(see chapter "Removing/replacing the pourer
sieve").
