Automatic Shutoff; Safety System; Cleaning And Maintenance - WMF KUCHENminis Gebrauchsanweisung

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
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.
