Automatic Switch-Off - WMF SKYLINE Mode D'emploi

When using the kettle for the first time, do not use the boiled water for preparing food or beverages.

Automatic switch-off

Shortly after the water has started to boil, the automatic switch-off function will shut down the
kettle automatically. If the kettle is filled with only a small quantity of water, the switch-off period
will be increased.
If you require warm but not boiling water, the heating process can be interrupted at any time by
pressing the ON switch.
For functional reasons, a small amount of condensed water may run out through the openings at
the bottom of the handle and onto the rim of the base. This is due to technical reasons and does not
impair the safety of the appliance.
Safety system
If the kettle is accidentally operated without water, a thermostat protects the kettle from overheating
by switching off the appliance.
Make sure to allow the kettle to cool down before filling with water.
If the first thermostat should fail due to misuse, an additional temperature limiter offers reliable
protection.
Cleaning and maintenance
Disconnect the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool down. Never immerse the appliance in
water; simply wipe it over using a damp cloth with a drop of washing-up liquid and then rub dry.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
The bottom of the kettle is made of stainless steel. If you notice rust stains all the same, these are only
deposits sticking to the surface. Remove these immediately with a cleaning agent for stainless steel.
The mesh filter in the spout can be pulled off to clean when the lid is open. To remove, press up the
top lug. When inserting, place the mesh filter centrally against the bar and then latch home to the
front.
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.
▪ 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.
▪ Then pour out the water and thoroughly rinse with cold tap water.
▪ Measure out and use 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.
