2. Clean the mesh filter. Rinse the filter under running water.
Possibly use a plastic cleaning brush or sponge. If the mesh is blocked with lime: leave
the filter overnight in warm vinegar. Carefully rinse with clear tap water.
3. To replace the filter, simply slide the filter in the correct orientation down into the slots
behind the spout of the kettle (see: ´Features of Your Design Combo Set`). Push the filter
down, until the dark bar is in line with the brim of the kettle and the lid of the kettle can
be shut tightly.
Cleaning the Kettle
In normal case there is no need to clean the interior of the kettle. Before first use or after
a longer period of storage rinse the interior of the kettle with clear drinking water.
However, depending on the water hardness in your residential area you should decalcify the
kettle regularly to avoid any loss of performance and excessive power consumption. See
´Decalcifying the Kettle`.
WARNING! Immediately wipe off condensate or spilled water. Do not spill any liquids
on the appliance. Do not immerse the kettle base, switch area, power base or power
cord in water to avoid risk of electric shock. Always keep the table or counter clean and
dry and immediately wipe off spilled liquids or condensate. Do not place the appliance
or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher.
1. Wipe the outside of the kettle with a damp cloth. In the same way, the power base
may be cleaned. Make sure not to spill or drip any liquids on the power base.
2. Dry with a soft dry cloth. Polish the stainless steel parts with a soft cloth, when required.
NOTE: If you need to clean the inside of the kettle, put the kettle on a stable surface and
pour in some hot mild liquid detergent. Carefully clean the inner side walls, and the heating
plate at the bottom, using a soft nylon brush without violence. Soak stubborn stains for
some minutes before brushing it off.
3. Thoroughly rinse the interior of the kettle with pure drinking water.
Depending on the hardness of your water supply and how often you use the kettle, a
limescale deposit may form. This reduces the kettle’s working life and heating capacity
and, therefore, increases power consumption. Limescale is not harmful to your health but
may give your beverages an unpleasant appearance or taste. For normal household use
we recommend to descale at least once every 2–3 months. It is advised to descale your
kettle as much as possible, as it prolongs the life and performance of your kettle.
Decalcifying the Kettle

Tips for Best Results
• The toasting, defrosting and ‘A BIT MORE’ functions can be cancelled
at any time by pressing the cancel button (picture F).
• The required browning level depends on your special liking and the type and freshness of
the toasted cakes and pastries. For example: a short toasting time (low browning level)
is sufficient for toasting fine white bread; but for toasting rye bread you must select a
higher browning level to get a similar result.
• You can crisp up rolls by cutting the rolls in halves, using a sharp knife. Ensure, that the
slices are max. 22mm thick and will not stick in the slots.
• Ensure to make an even and smooth cut. Use a sharp bread knife for cutting. Remove
crumbs and protruding rims, especially when crisping up halved rolls.
WARNING: Never insert your fingers in the slots, while the toaster is connected to the
power supply. Always switch OFF and unplug the appliance and wait for the appliance
to cool, before removing any jammed bread or crumbs.
• If bread sticks or jams in the slots, switch OFF (cancel button) and unplug the toaster
and let the toaster cool down. Then remove the bread slices carefully and without violence.
Ensure not to touch the heating elements on the sides of the slots to avoid damage.
• To check the doneness during the toasting process, just press the cancel button. The
toasting process will get stopped. When pressing the on button again you start a new
toasting process. Ensure to lower the browning control level to prevent the bread from burning.
• Use the ´A BIT MORE` function if the toast requires a little more toasting
or heating (picture G).

• Use the ´DEFROST` function to toast frozen bread (picture H).
• It is recommended to empty the crumb tray after each use to avoid
crumbs becoming charred and sticking on the crumb tray (see: ‘Care and
Cleaning - Toaster’). Do not use the toaster without the crumb tray in place.

Care and Cleaning - Toaster
WARNING: Always switch OFF the toaster (using the cancel button), unplug the power
cord and allow the toaster to cool down, before removing the crumb tray or cleaning or
moving the toaster. Do not immerse or place the toaster or power cord in any liquids or
drip any liquids on the toaster to avoid risk of electric shock and damage.
Do not place the appliance or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads or any hard and sharp objects (i.e. metal
scouring pads) for cleaning. Clean the toaster and power cord with a damped sponge
or tissue and carefully dry the appliance after cleaning. Do not handle the appliance or
any part of it with violence. Do not insert any foreign objects into the slots.
1. Switch OFF the toaster, pressing the cancel button (picture I), unplug
the power connector and allow the toaster to cool down.
2. Pull out the crumb tray and empty the crumb tray (picture J). You may
clean the crumb tray in warm dish-water. Thoroughly dry the tray after
cleaning and leave the tray dry naturally for some minutes.
3. Take the kettle of the power bas, grasp the toaster on both sides and
hold the toaster over a sink or large bowl and turn it upside down.
Carefully shake the crumbs out of the toaster while turning the toaster in all
directions.
4. Wipe the exterior of the toaster with a damp soft cloth. Take care not
to spill or drip water or any other liquids in the toaster. If necessary, clean the power
cord in the same way. Then thoroughly dry the toaster and power cord with a dry soft
cloth.
5. Insert the crumb tray in the bottom of the toaster.
CAUTION: Do not insert the crumb tray, when it is still wet or damp.
IMPORTANT: Ensure, that the crumb tray is in place before operating the toaster.

and where it is out of reach of young children. Do not place any hard or heavy objects
on the appliance or any parts of it.
Always switch OFF the kettle and unplug the power base, when the appliance is not in
use. Empty remaining water and place the kettle on the power base to protect the connector pins
