PRIOR TO FIRST USE
Before using for the first time (or after a long period of
storage), fill and boil the kettle three times before using.
Follow the directions in “How to use the kettle” below.
Before using the press coffee maker for the first time,
rinse the glass flask (8) thoroughly with cold water
before using.
HOW TO USE THE KETTLE
1. Open the lid () by pressing the opening button (4).
2. Pour fresh water into the kettle. Fill the appliance
with water at least to the minimum mark (“MIN”) and
not exceeding the maximum mark (“MAX”) on the
water level indicator (5)
. Close the lid and ensure it clicks into place.
4. Place the kettle on its base station (14) by
positioning it so the stud on the base (10) fits into
the hole on the underside of the kettle.
5. Plug in and switch the power on.
o Caution! If you set the on/off switch (6) to the "I"
position before replacing the kettle on the base,
the kettle switches on automatically when
replaced on the base. For safety’s sake, check
the on/off switch position before replacing the
kettle on the base to avoid accidentally starting
the kettle.
6. Switch on the appliance by switching the on/off
button forward to "I". The on/off indicator in the
water indicator lights up, when the appliance is on
and heating the water.
The water will boil within a few minutes, depending
on the amount in the kettle. If you want to interrupt
the boiling, you can do this at any time by switching
the on/off button backward to "O". Once the water is
boiling, the kettle will automatically switch off thanks to
the integrated thermostat. The indicator light comes off
when the appliance is stopped and the on/off button
automatically switches to position “0”.
Anti boil-dry device
If you switch the kettle on without having filled it with
water, or when the water level is below the “MIN” mark,
the anti boil-dry device will automatically switch it off.
The kettle can be switched on normally, as soon as it is
filled with a sufficient amount of water.
Storage
If the kettle is to be stored for any length of time without
use, the cord can be rolled up around the inside of the
base. Ensure the appliance is clean and dry before
storing.
HOW TO USE THE PRESS COFFEE MAKER
It is easy and quick to make fresh and delicious coffee
in the accompanying press coffee maker.
TIP! In order to get the best result, use medium or
coarsely ground coffee, since very finely ground coffee,
such as espresso coffee, can penetrate or clog the filter
(11).
1. Remove the lid (9) and accessories from the glass
flask.
2. Add coffee to the glass flask – 1 measuring spoon
per cup.
. Pour the required amount of near boiling water over
the coffee (for instance from the accompanying
kettle). Do not fill above 3 cm from the edge of the
glass flask.
4. Pull the piston (10) all the way up, so that the filter is
pulled right up under the lid. Put the lid on the flask
without pressing the piston into the coffee.
5. Leave the coffee to infuse for -6 minutes
depending on the required strength.
6. Gently press the piston to the bottom, so that the
filter is pushed through the coffee and collects the
residue at the bottom of the flask.
7. Pour the coffee without lifting off the lid.
CLEANING THE KETTLE
When cleaning the appliance, you should pay
attention to the following points:
• Remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the
appliance to cool down before cleaning.
• Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
• Wipe using a well-wrung cloth and hot water. A little
detergent can be added if the appliance is heavily
soiled.
• Never use scouring powder, steel scourers or
other strong cleaning agents to clean the interior
or exterior surfaces of the appliance, as they may
scratch the surfaces.
• Make sure that no water gets into the connector on
the base or the hole in the underside of the kettle.
Decalcifying the kettle
The lime content of ordinary tap water means limescale
may gradually be deposited inside. This limescale may
be loosened using acetic acid (NOT ordinary vinegar) or
descaler, available in supermarkets, etc.
1. Mix 1 dl acetic acid with dl cold water, or follow
the instructions on the descaler packaging.
2. Pour the solution into the kettle and switch it on.
. Allow the solution to boil twice and then pour it out.
4. To remove the final residues of limescale and acetic
acid, pour cold water into the kettle again (up to the
"MAX" mark) and switch it on.
5. Pour out the water once it has boiled.
6. Repeat the process described under points 4-5
three times.
7. The filter (11) may be gently removed from the
locking devices in the spout (1).
8. Place the filter in a cup with descaler for a couple of
hours and thoroughly rinse it after decalcifying.
9. Gently replace the filter in the spout so that it is
gripped and held in place by the locking devices.
The appliance now ready for use.
