2. Veiligheidsinstruksies
Om veilige werking te verseker, volg altyd hierdie basiese veiligheidsmaatreëls:
- Lees alle instruksies voordat u die toestel gebruik.
- Moenie aan warm oppervlaktes raak nie. Gebruik handvatsels of knoppe.
- To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the kettle itself in water or other liquid.
- Noukeurige toesig is nodig wanneer enige toestel deur of naby kinders gebruik word.
- Trek uit die stopcontact wanneer dit nie gebruik word nie en voor skoonmaak. Laat afkoel voor jy onderdele aan- of afhaal, en voordat jy die toestel skoonmaak.
- Moenie enige toestel gebruik met 'n beskadigde koord of prop, of nadat die toestel wanfunksioneer of op enige manier beskadig is nie.
- Die gebruik van bykomstighede wat nie deur die toestelvervaardiger aanbeveel word nie, kan brand, elektriese skok of beserings aan persone tot gevolg hê.
- Moenie buite gebruik nie.
- Moenie dat koord oor die rand van tafel of toonbank hang, of aan warm oppervlaktes raak nie.
- Moenie op of naby 'n warm gas- of elektriese brander, of in 'n verhitte oond plaas nie.
- Koppel altyd eers die prop aan die toestel, en steek dan die koord in die muursok. Om te ontkoppel, draai enige beheer na 'af' en verwyder dan die prop uit die muursok.
- Moenie die toestel vir ander as die bedoeling gebruik nie.
- Avoid contact with steam from the spout when water is boiling or just after it has switched off.
- Maak seker dat die deksel stewig toe is voordat u dit gebruik.
- Do not overfill the kettle above the 'MAX' mark or underfill below the 'MIN' mark to prevent dry boiling or spillage.
3. Opstelling
3.1 Uitpak
Carefully remove the kettle and all accessories from the packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or disposal. Check for any damage during transit. If the appliance is damaged, do not use it and contact your retailer.
3.2 Eerste gebruik
Before using your kettle for the first time, or if it has been stored for a long period, it is recommended to clean it. Fill the kettle with fresh water up to the 'MAX' level, boil the water, and then discard it. Repeat this process two to three times to remove any manufacturing residues and ensure optimal taste.
4. Bedryfsinstruksies
4.1 Vul die ketel
Open the lid and fill the kettle with the desired amount of fresh water. Do not fill below the 'MIN' mark or above the 'MAX' mark. Close the lid securely after filling.

4.2 Placing on the Power Base
Place the kettle firmly onto its power base. Ensure the kettle is properly seated on the base for electrical contact.

4.3 Aanskakel
Plug the power base into a suitable wall outlet. Press the ON/OFF switch located at the bottom of the handle. The indicator light will illuminate, signifying that the kettle is heating the water.
4.4 Automatic Shut-Off and Thermometer
The kettle will automatically switch off once the water has reached boiling point. The indicator light will turn off. The integrated analog thermometer on the kettle's body displays the current water temperature, allowing you to monitor the heating process.
4.5 Water giet
Carefully lift the kettle from its power base and pour the hot water. Always pour slowly and steadily to avoid splashing. Be cautious of hot steam escaping from the spout.
5. Onderhoud en Skoonmaak
Ontkoppel altyd die ketel van die kragtoevoer en laat dit heeltemal afkoel voordat jy dit skoonmaak.
5.1 Buite Skoonmaak
Vee die buitekant van die ketel af met 'n sagte, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the stainless steel finish. Never immerse the kettle or its power base in water or any other liquid.
5.2 Ontkalking
Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) can build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. This can affect performance and taste. Descale your kettle regularly (e.g., monthly or every two months) using a commercial descaling solution suitable for kettles, or a natural solution:
- Asynmetode: Fill the kettle with 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water. Bring to a boil and let it stand for several hours or overnight. Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly several times with fresh water. Boil fresh water a few times and discard to remove any residual vinegar smell.
- Sitroensuurmetode: Dissolve 2 tablespoons of citric acid powder in 1 liter of water. Pour into the kettle, bring to a boil, and let it stand for 15-30 minutes. Empty and rinse thoroughly.
