KETTLE KH 1027
Intended Use
This appliance is intended for the boiling-up of water
in domestic households. It is not intended for use with
other liquids or for commercial use.
Technical data
Voltage : 220 - 240 V ~/ 50 Hz
Power consumption : 2000 - 2400 W
Volume: max. 1.7 l
min. 0.7 l
In older electrical installations, the building fuse
(12A) may be triggered due to the high power
consumption.
Safety instructions
 To avoid potentially fatal injury
through electric shock:
• Ensure that the base with the electrical connections
does not come into contact with water! Ensure
that the base is completely dry before use,
especially if it has accidentally become wet.
• Only use the water boiler with the supplied base.
• Make sure that the power cord never becomes
wet or damp during operation. Lay the cord such
that it cannot be pinched or otherwise damaged.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables
to be replaced at once by qualified technicians
or our Customer Service Department.
• Always pull the plug out of the power socket after
use. Switching off the appliance is not sufficient
because the appliance receives power as long
as the power plug is connected to the socket.
 To avoid burns and other injuries:
• Always heat water with the lid closed, otherwise
the automatic cut-out may not function.
Boiling water can then spray out over the edge.
• Hot steam clouds may be released.
The kettle also becomes very hot during use.
Wear oven mitts.
• Ensure that the appliance is standing securely
and vertically before switching it on.
Boiling water can cause an unstabile kettle to fall
over.
• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals
(including children) with restricted physical, physio-
logical or intellectual abilities or deficiences in
experience and/or knowledge unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety
or receive from this person instruction in how the
applianice is to be used.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use an external timing switch or a separa-
te remote control system to operate the applian-
ce.

Start-up
• Before taking the appliance into use, ensure that ...
- the appliance, the plug and the power cable are
in good working order and...
- all packaging materials have been removed
from the appliance.
• Fill the appliance with water up to the MAX mark
and let it come to a full boil once – as described
in the next section.
• Pour this water away when the procedure has
been completed.
• Rinse the kettle out with clear water.
• Fill the appliance with water up to the MAX marking
on the scale 7and then bring it to the boil.
Once again, pour this water away.
The appliance is now ready for use.
Boiling water
 Danger
Never place the electrical base 4in close proximity to
water – a potentially fatal risk!
Notice
Always use freshly drawn water. Do not consume any
water that has already stood in the water boiler for
longer than one hour. Do not reboil water that has
cooled down. Always pour old water away.
Microbes could have formed in it!
• Lift the kettle off of the base when filling it!
• Press the unlocking button 2and open the lid 1.
• Hold the kettle upright while filling it.
Only in this way can you correctly read the
markings on the scale 7.
Fill the kettle...
– at least to the MIN mark, so that the appliance
does not overheat,
– no higher than the MAX mark, so that no boiling
water spills out.
• First close the lid 1...
• then place the kettle on the base 4so that it
stands straight on the base 4.
• Now insert the plug into the power socket.
• Press the ON/OFF switch 3down until it engages
downwards.
• The control lamps 6indicates that the appliance
is now heating up.
• The appliance switches itself off and the control
lamps 6go out as soon as the water is on the
boil. The ON/OFF switch 3is released upwards.
 Warning
First remove the plug from the wall power socket before
you lift the kettle from the base 4. This avoids the
risk that any water splashing out could come into
contact with live electrical connections in the base 4,
which could cause a short circuit.
 Injury hazard
For safety reasons, the lid 1should not be opened
while the water is boiling or is very hot. There is a risk
of receiving severe scalds.

Cleaning and Care
 Danger
Do not open any part of the housing. There are no
operating elements inside. An open housing can create
the risk of a life-threatening electrical shock.
Never submerse any parts of the appliance in
water or other liquids! This can create the risk
of a life-threatening electrical shock if residual
liquid comes into contact with powered
components.
Before cleaning the appliance,...
• first, remove the plug from the power socket and
allow the appliance to cool down completely.
• Clean the exterior surfaces and the power cable
with a slighly damp cloth. Be sure to dry the
appliance well before taking it back into use.
• For stainless steel surfaces, you can use appropriate
cleaning agents from a specialized dealer.
• Never use any cleansers, abbrasive substances
or solvents. These can damage the appliance.
In the event of scale deposits
• Before descaling, remove the pourer sieve 8
(see chapter "Removing/replacing the pourer
sieve").
• Take any decalcifying agent used for kitchen
utensils (e.g. decalcifiers for coffee machines)
from a grocery shop. Proceed as detailed in the
instructions provided for the use of the decalcfying
agent.
Removing/replacing the pouring sieve
• Open the lid 1.
• Press from the front against the upper lug sitting
in the middle of the pouring sieve 8and at the
same time hold it firmly by the flap.
• Remove the pourer sieve 8.
• Clean the pouring sieve 8with a lightly moistened
dishcloth and under running water.
• After cleaning it, place the pourer sieve 8from
inside against the opening. Ensure that the lower
and the lateral lugs grip the opening. Press the
pourer sieve 8until the upper lug engages in
the opening.
• Should the scale deposits in the pourer sieve 8
be firmly settled, lay it in a water-vinegar solution,
with a ratio of 6:1, for a few hours. The scale
deposits will dissolve themselves. Rinse the pourer
sieve 8with lots of clear water.
Storage
Allow the appliance to cool off completely before
putting it into storage.
• Wind the power cable around the cable winder 5
under the base 4.
• Store the appliance in a dry place.
