The ON/OFF switch (E) only catches when the kettle is on the base unit (G). Do not use the water from the first boiling cycle to prepare food.
The automatic switch off
The kettle will switch itself off automatically and the pilot light will go out when the water has boiled or the kettle is removed from the base. If you want to stop the heating process before the kettle automatically switches off, simply press the ON/OFF switch (E) up or lift up the jug from the base. If you want to reheat water which has already been heated, press the ON/OFF switch (E) down again. When the water is boiling the kettle switches itself off automatically. If the kettle is only filled with a little water, it takes longer to switch-off.
Never clean the kettle and base unit under running water or immerse it in washing-up water. 0 Occasionally rinse out the kettle with clean water. 0 Clean the outside of the appliance only using a damp cloth. Do not use any caustic or abrasive cleansing agents. 0 Withdraw strainer insert (K) upwards for cleaning. The strainer insert must be pressed down until it locks when inserting. 0 The kettle is made of stainless steel. If, however, spots of rust appear, these are only deposits adhering to the surface. They should be removed with a stainless steel cleaning agent.
Descaling
Lime scale deposits on the bottom of the kettle result in loss of energy and can affect the service life of the appliance. The appliance switches off before boiling if the layer of scale is too thick. It is then very difficult to remove. The appliance should be descaled regularly depending on the level of the water hardness. Use a standard descaler following the directions; preferably choose an environmentally friendly, descaling agent suitable for stainless steel according to the instructions from the manufacturer. 0 First fill in water, then a standard descaling preparation which is not too strong.
Safety system
All AEG kettles are equipped with a boil-dry safety cut-out. This feature protects the appliance from overheating when started without water or from boiling until it is empty if used with the lid open. If the appliance is accidently switched on without water, it is automatically protected against overheating. The heating process is automatically interrupted. Before using the kettle again let it cool down for 5-10 minutes. For operating reasons condensation can run onto the edge of the base from the outlet openings underneath on the handle. This is due to technical reasons and does not affect the safety of the appliance.

Do not boil the solution as it could foam over. 0 After descaling, rinse the kettle out thoroughly with clean water. Never pour descaling agents into an enamel sink and do not reuse them.
