PROPERTIES OF YOUR NEW WATER KETTLE
Your new »Design Kettle Cool Touch« is intended for heating up drinking water to a
selectable temperature in the range between 35°C to boiling temperature (100°C).
The selected temperature will be maintained for up to 30 minutes. Thereafter, the
appliance will shut-off automatically. Via the double-walled kettle, the energy loss
during operation is reduced significantly. You may cancel any operating cycle at any
time you like by pressing the ON/OFF button again.
IMPORTANT: Always close the lid for operation. With the lid open, the temperature
control and automatic shut-off will not work properly and there will be high energy loss.
IMPORTANT: Depending on the water hardness of your drinking water, the appli-
ance needs regular de-scaling (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). Otherwise, the tempe-
rature control will not work properly, there will be an increasing energy loss, and
overheating of the heating elements could occur.
DISPLAY
When connecting the appliance to the power supply, the actual water temperature in
the kettle is shown on the display. When pressing a temperature selection button or
the ON/OFF button the kettle will show the set temperature on the display. If you do
not press any button for approx. 6 seconds, the actual water temperature in the kettle
will be shown again. The water will be heated up to the set temperature and then
be kept at this temperature for up to 30 minutes with 3 dots flashing on the display.
IMPORTANT: After 30 minutes of being idle, the appliance will switch OFF com-
pletely and the display gets dark, to avoid useless energy loss.
SELF-RESETTING DRY BOIL PROTECTION
The water kettle is fitted with a self-resetting dry boil protection device, which safegu-
ards against overheating of the heating elements. Overheating may be caused by …
• Too much scale on the heating elements. De-scale the kettle in time (see: ‘Care
and Cleaning’).
• Too little water in the kettle. Always observe the MIN filling level (0.5 litre).
Please keep in mind, that water will vaporize, when left for a long time in the
kettle on high temperature.
If overheating occurs, the kettle will automatically switch off the heating elements. In
this case, remove the kettle from the base and pour out the water. Then leave the
kettle cool down by waiting approx. 20 minutes. Thereafter, you can reactivate the
appliance.
