Keep warm function
This function keeps the water at the selected temperature for up to 20 minutes after heating.
The keep warm function is activated by pressing the Keep Warm button (10). You can switch the keep
warm function on and off at any time – even after heating water up.
As soon as the desired temperature has been reached, the appliance beeps (several times at certain
intervals) and the keep warm function is activated automatically. The temperature button to be
held down (9), the Keep Warm button (10) and the Start/Stop button
automatically switched off as soon as the kettle is taken off the base (8) or 20 minutes have passed.
Note: The keep warm function cannot be activated when the water temperature is 100°C.
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 kettle to cool down before filling with water.
Should the first thermostat malfunction due to improper use, an additional temperature limiter
provides reliable protection.
Cleaning and care
Remove the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down.
Do not immerse the appliance in water, but rather clean it using a damp cloth with a little washing-up
liquid and then dry it.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
The inside of the kettle should be cleaned with warm water and a washing-up brush. To do so, open
the lid by pressing the button on the handle (5) and remove the tea strainer (4).
We recommend cleaning the glass container after each use to prevent tea deposits from forming.
You can descale the kettle for more stubborn stains or limescale build-up. (see the chapter entitled
"Descaling").
CAUTION: Never clean the kettle under running water.
The scale filter (1) in the pour spout can be removed for cleaning when the lid (2) is open. To do this,
press its clip downwards and remove the filter. To insert the scale filter (1), take it on the clip and
position the underside of the filter in the inside, centred, of the pour spout. Finally, push it upwards
(Fig. B).
The scale filter (1) and tea strainer (4) can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Descaling
Please descale your appliance regularly using a high-quality commercial descaling
agent. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, particularly with regard to the
subsequent cleaning with clear water, which is essential! Suitable descaling
agents contain inhibitors that protect appliances against damage to seals and
surfaces, do not cause additional deposits and have no taste. Do not use descaling
agents that are unsuitable for your appliance (such as substances based purely
on vinegar or citric acid). Our warranty does not cover damage caused by using
unsuitable descaling agents or failure to follow the descaling instructions. Please
keep descaling agents out of reach of children and make sure you do not inhale
any of the steam given off during descaling.
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.
