switched off the kettle, it must be allowed to
cool down suffi ciently, or must be descaled
before it is switched on again.
Safety lid
The safety lid greatly reduces the risk
of hot water escaping if the container is
accidentally knocked over on the work
surface. In the event of it falling from a
certain height, however, it is possible hot
water might escape from the lid. After any
accident of this kind, be sure to check for
any signs of damage. The appliance must
always be supervised when in use.

Power cord wind-up storage
The wind-up power cord storage under the
base facilitates limiting the length of the
power cord during use and makes it easy to
store the appliance.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality in your area,
lime deposits may build up inside the water
container. It is advisable to remove any such
deposits at regular intervals. Any warranty
claim will be null and void if the kettle
malfunctions because of insuffi cient
descaling. A mixture of 0.5 litres of water
to two tablespoons of vinegar essence is
suitable.

∙ Switch the appliance on and let the
solution reach boiling point.
