PROPERTIES OF YOUR NEW WATER KETTLE
Your new »Design Water Kettle Advanced Thermo« is intended for heating up drinking
water to a selectable temperature between 40°C to boiling temperature (100°C). After
reaching the set temperature, the appliance will switch off the heating plate automatical-
ly. Using the Keep Warm Function, the selected temperature can be maintained for up
to 4 hours at the maximum. This time limit is implemented to avoid unnecessary energy
consumption (see: ‘Operation’).
The buttons of the power base are sensible to the touch. There is no need to press on any
of the buttons. The operating panel is smooth and without any grooves or moulds. Thus,
cleaning is easy and done in a rush via a soft damp cloth (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’).
Important:
Always keep the lid closed during operation. With the lid open, the tem-
perature control and automatic shut off will not work properly and there will be high
energy loss. Additionally, large amounts of hot steam will escape and, with the kettle
filled to the maximum, even boiling water could splash, causing a high risk of burns
and electric shock.
Important:
Depending on the water hardness of your drinking water, the appliance
needs regular de-scaling (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). Otherwise, the temperature con-
trol will not work properly, there will be an increasing energy loss, and overheating of
the heating plate could occur.
FUNCTIONS
• If you wish to only bring the water to the boil, simply touch the ON/OFF button.
The appliance will switch off automatically, after reaching the boiling temperature
(100°C). The actual temperature within the kettle will be shown on the display
throughout the heating process.
• You can heat the water to a desired temperature between 40°C and 100°C. Thus,
you will get the optimum temperature for brewing your preferred type of tea or pre-
pare drinks. For this, use the temperature selection b and –.
• Additionally, the water kettle can keep the water hot via the Keep Warm button.
However, with this function a time limit of 4 hours is programmed to avoid excessive
and needless energy consumption.
Important:
Please keep in mind that, due to the efficient thermal insulation, the water
temperature within the kettle will still rise up a little after switching off (up to 15 °C).
This depends on the selected temperature and amount of water. Thus, when preparing
drinks or baby food, observe the temperature value shown on the display and check
the actual water temperature before consumption or feeding. Additionally, be aware
that the kettle is not really an exact temperature measuring device.
