Automatic boilstop
As soon as the water boils the auto-
matic boilstop will interrupt the hea-
ting process. The control lamp goes
out. In case the kettle is filled with
little water, the time until the automa-
tic boilstop works will be prolonged.
If you want to boil hot water again
the appliance can be switched on
again. If only warm water is desired
the heating process can be
interrupted at any time. The dis-
connection takes place automatically
also if the pot is lifted by the base.
Safety system
In case of unintentional use without
water a thermostat protects the kettle
from overheating by interrupting the
heating process. The button will be
put automatically to position -0-.
Before refilling with water, wait
another 5-10 minutes until the
appliance has cooled down. If through
improper usage this thermostat
should fail an additional temperature
security device will be activated.
Cleaning and maintenance
Pull the plug and cool the appliance.
Do not immerse the appliance in
water, but wipe with a damp cloth to
which a dishwashing agent has been
added and then wipe dry.
Do not use sharp and abrasive clea-
ning agents.
The pan is made from rust-resistant
Causes for failures
– The appliance switches off before
the water is boiling:
the lime scale at the bottom of the
kettle is too thick.
– The appliance does not switch off:
close the lid until it snaps.
– The appliance cannot be switched
on after having used the kettle
without or with too little water:
the appliance has not yet cooled
down sufficiently.
If the failures cannot be removed, let
the appliance have repaired.
In order to avoid injury, any repairs
of the appliance as well as the
exchange of a damaged connection
cord should only be carried out by
the manufacturer, his authorised ser-
vice agent or a person having similar
qualifications.
For UK use only
1.This product is supplied with a
13 A plug conforming to BS 1363
fitted to the mains lead. If the plug
is unsuitable for your socket out-
lets or needs to be replaced,
please note the following: If the
plug is a nonrewireable one, cut
it from the mains lead and
immediately dispose of it.
Never insert it into a socket outlet
as there is a very great risk of an
electric shock.
2.The replacement of the plug at the
mains lead has to be done accor-
ding to the following instructions:
Warning - This appliance must
be earthed
Important: The wires in this mains
lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
green/yellow: Earth
blue: Neutral
brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the
mains lead of this appliance may
not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:
- the wire which is coloured green
and yellow must be connected to
the terminal which is marked
with the letter E or by the earth
symbol , or coloured green or
green and yellow,
- the wire which is coloured blue
must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the
letter N or coloured black,
- the wire which is coloured brown
must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured red.
3.If a 13 A (BS 1363) plug is used it
must be fitted with a 13 A fuse
conforming to BS 1362 and be
ASTA approved. If any other type
of plug is used, the appliance must
stainless steel. If rust spots are seen
regardless, these are initially only
deposits adhering to the surface.
They should be removed immediate-
ly with stainless steel cleaner.
Decalcification
Calcium deposits result in energy
losses and reduce the service life of
the appliance. It switches off early, if
the calcium coating is too thick. It is
then difficult to remove. Decalcify the
pot routinely.
We recommend using durgol
®
express. It is very effective and
gentle to materials.
You may obtain it where you bought
the appliance; directly from a select
dealer or you can order it directly
from petra-electric.
Disconnect the appliance from the
socket and let cool prior to decalcifi-
cation. Fill in 1 to 2 cups of durgol
®
express and let the appliance stand
until the calcium coating is removed
from the bottom. Then fill the appli-
ance with cold water past the calci-
um edge and let stand for 15 minu-
tes. Then pour it out and thoroughly
rinse with cold water.
Do not heat the solution during
decalcification.
Caution, warranty compensation
does not exist for damages that
occur due to non-compliance.
