Using Your Kettle; Safety System; Cleaning And Care - AEG EWA 4 Serie Instrucciones De Uso

Using your kettle

Before using your new kettle you
should wipe it inside and outside with
a damp cloth due to hygienic reasons.
Initial use
0 Place the base unit (J) on a firm sur-
face.
0 Plug the mains plug into a wall socket.
If the mains cord is longer than neces-
3
sary it can be wound up at the bottom
of the base unit (J).
0 Press release button for lid (E) towards
the handle (F) and open the lid (B).
0 Fill with at least sufficient water to
make it visible on the water level indi-
cator (G), but not higher than the
MAX. mark.
0 Close the lid (B) until it engages. The
automatic switch off can only function
reliably if this is done.
0 Place the kettle onto the base (J).
0 Press the ON/OFF switch (H) down, the
pilot light lights up and the kettle
starts to heat up.
Do not use the water from the first
3
boiling cycle to prepare food.
The automatic switch off
The kettle will switch off automatically
and the pilot light will go out when the
water has boiled.
If you want to stop the heating process
before the kettle automatically
switches off, simply press the ON/OFF
switch (H) up. If you want to reheat
water which has already been heated,
press the ON/OFF switch (H) down
again. When the water has boiled the
kettle will switch off automatically. If
the kettle is only filled with a little
water, it takes longer to switch off.

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 For cleaning, push the strainer insert
(C) with one finger through the spout
(D) towards the inside of the kettle and
remove. To reinsert, fit the strainer
insert on one side first, then bend the
other side of the insert slightly to fit in
place.
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.
