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 light up. The function is
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.
