Instructions for Use
Before first use, clean the kettle by boiling and discarding water at least five times.
Operation:
- Place the stand on a stable surface, at least 85 cm high, out of reach of children and incapacitated persons.
- Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical socket.
- Hold the kettle by the handle and open the lid by pressing the lock button.
- Fill the kettle with drinking water, observing the minimum and maximum water level indicators.
- Close the lid securely.
- Place the kettle on the stand; a sound signal will indicate proper placement.
- Press A1 to switch the kettle to standby mode.
- Short press A2 to set the desired temperature. Wait for the heating process to complete (indicated by a sound signal).
- The LED display will show the selected temperature (Milk, Green, Oolong, Coffee, Black) during heating.
- Long press A2 to switch between standard heating and the KEEP WARM function.
- The temperature can be changed at any time during heating by pressing A2.
- Short press A1 to stop the heating process. Long press A1 to turn off the kettle.
Temperature Settings:
- 40 °C (Milk): For infant formula.
- 70 °C (Green): For green tea.
- 80 °C (Oolong): For white tea.
- 90 °C (Coffee): For oolong tea, coffee, instant drinks, soups.
- 100 °C (Black): For black and herbal tea.
Note: For precise temperature control at lower settings (40 or 70 °C), ensure at least 0.7 liters of water are in the kettle. Lower volumes may result in higher actual temperatures.
KEEP WARM Function:
In standby mode, long press A2 to activate KEEP WARM. The kettle will maintain the set temperature for approximately 2 hours before automatically switching off. This function can be deactivated by pressing A1.
Memory Function:
If the kettle is removed from the base while in operation (heating or KEEP WARM), the selected function is stored. Placing the kettle back on the base and pressing A1 will resume the stored function. To deactivate the memory, turn off the kettle using A1.
Important Notes:
- The electronic control system is deactivated when the kettle is not on the base.
- If the set temperature is lower than the current water temperature, the kettle will heat up only after the water cools down to the set temperature.
- For preparing food for infants, water must first be boiled to 100 °C and then cooled.
- Ensure the lid is closed during heating; otherwise, the kettle will not turn off automatically.
- Avoid tilting the kettle, especially when full, as water may spill from the bottom. Tilting with hot water poses a scalding risk.
- The temperature displayed may have a slight tolerance due to sensor placement.
Maintenance
Always unplug the appliance before cleaning and allow it to cool down.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaning agents. The kettle's housing is plastic, while the heating base and interior are stainless steel. Scale deposits may occur over time and are not a defect.
Cleaning the Kettle:
To remove scale, use a descaler (e.g., ETA-AKTIV) or dissolve approximately 50g of citric acid in water. Fill the kettle halfway, stir, then fill to 3/4 capacity. Place on the base, turn on, and before boiling, turn off. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then empty and rinse thoroughly. Repeat if heavily soiled. Clean regularly.
Any maintenance requiring access to internal electrical parts must be performed by qualified service personnel only. Failure to follow manufacturer instructions voids the warranty.
Environment
Dispose of used electrical and electronic products responsibly. Do not mix with household waste. Return them to designated collection points for free disposal. Proper disposal helps conserve natural resources and prevent negative environmental and health impacts.
