1 General description and technical data
1.1 Description and purpose of the device
Electric kettle AENO EK2 is designed for heating and boiling drinking water. The
kettle is suitable for everyday use at home, in the office and other similar
environments.
The flask of the device has no seams and is made of impact-resistant stainless steel
SUS 304, resistant to acids. The body is made of heat-resistant plastic. The gap
between the walls of the device keeps the water temperature longer and prevents
the outer surfaces of the device from heating.
The Strix * contact group ensures maximum safety when using the device. The
kettle switches off automatically if the heating element overheats and if the device
is removed from the stand before the water boils. Also, the design of the contact
group allows you to rotate the kettle on a stand 360°.
