WMF LINEO Instrucciones De Uso página 6

▪ Caution: the device is hot. Risk of scalding from escaping steam. Only take hold of the hot kettle from
the handle and do not open the lid when pouring.
▪ Always completely empty the pot. Do not let any residual water remain in the device for a long
period of time.
▪ The mains plug is to be pulled:
⋅ if malfunctions occur during use,
⋅ before cleaning and care,
⋅ after use.
▪ No liability is accepted for any damages resulting from misuse, incorrect operation or improper
repairs.
Claims under warranty are likewise excluded in such cases.
▪ Packaging material, such as plastic film bags, do not belong in the hands of children.
Start-up
Thoroughly clean the inside of the pot prior to the first use. To do so, open the lid by pressing the
button on the handle.
A strainer insert in the pour spout ensures that larger limescale particles are kept back when pouring.
The unnecessary length of the connecting cable can be wound at the bottom of the base part.
Connect the mains plug to an earthed socket.
Fill with the desired amount of water up to the Max line. Close the lid. Only in this way does the
automatic boil stop work reliably.
Place the pot on the base in any position. Now you can press down the power switch below the
handle. The control lamp in the power switch shows that the device is heating.
The power switch only engages if the pot is on the base.
Do not use the water from the first boiling process for food preparation.
Automatic shutoff
The automatic boil stop switches off the device shortly after the water is boiled. The shutoff time is
extended if the pot is only filled with a little water.
If only warm water is desired, the heating process can always be stopped by pressing the power switch.
The shutdown takes place automatically if the pot is lifted from the base.
For functional reasons, some condensation may run out of the outlet openings at the bottom of the
handle to the edge of the base. This happens for technical reasons and does not impair the safety of
the device.
Safety system
A thermostat protects the kettle from overheating due to accidental operation without water by
switching off the device.
It is essential to allow the pot to cool down before filling with water.
Should the first thermostat malfunction due to improper use, an additional temperature limiter
ensures reliable protection.
Cleaning and maintenance
Remove the mains plug and allow the device to cool down. Do not immerse the device in water, but
rather clean them with a damp cloth with a little washing-up fluid and then dry off.
Do not use any sharp and abrasive cleaning agents.
The pot is made of stainless steel. Should rust spots nevertheless appear, they are only deposits
adhered to the surface. They should be removed immediately with a stainless steel cleanser.
The strainer insert in the pour spout can be removed for cleaning when the lid is open. To do so, press
its upper clip upward. When inserting, place the strainer in the middle of the base and then snap it
forward into place.

Descaling
Limescale deposits lead to energy losses and impair the service life of the
appliance. The appliance switches off prematurely if the layer of limescale is
too thick. The limescale is then very difficult to remove. Therefore descale the
appliance regularly.
We recommend using Cromargol® kettle descaler. This product has been
designed specifically for descaling kettles and is extremely effective, food safe
and has a neutral smell and taste. Thanks to the special care formula with two
double additives, the Cromargol® kettle descaler does not damage the materials.
You can usually purchase Cromargol® from the store where you have purchased
your appliance or from your chosen dealer. The Cromargol® / Cromargol® water
kettle decalcifier is only available in Germany and Austria.
▪ Prior to descaling, unplug the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool
down.
▪ Remove the strainer and place it inside the kettle. Replace the strainer after
descaling has finished.
▪ Shake the bottle of Cromargol® before using it. Fill the kettle with one
portion (100 ml) of Cromargol® kettle descaler and leave for approximately
five minutes to take effect. Then fill the appliance with cold tap water to
cover the limescale ring on the wall and leave to stand for 30 minutes.
▪ Then pour out the water and thoroughly rinse with cold tap water.
▪ Measure out and use other descaling agents according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not heat the solution during descaling.
Caution: the warranty does not cover damage caused by failure to observe the
descaling instructions.
Causes for malfunctions
▪ If the pouring behaviour worsens/diminishes:
check the strainer and descale/clean the strainer if necessary
▪ Device switches off before boiling:
Bottom of the pot is too strongly calcified, it is not filled with enough water
▪ Device does not switch off:
Lid is not closed
▪ Device will not switch on:
The device has not sufficiently cooled down following operation with no or
too little water.
If it is not possible to fix this problem, submit the device for repair.
