Capresso C1OO #261 - Manual (Page 5)

HELPFUL HINTS:
1. If the rotary dial is set between the middle of two settings before heating, the
heater will not turn on when the on/off button is pressed. Place the dial at
the desired setting and push the on/off button again.
2. If the glass kettle is not placed on the base before heating, the heater will
not turn on when the on/off button is pressed and the power light will blink.
Place the kettle on the base and press the on/off button.
3. You can always turn the kettle off by pushing the on/off button again or by
just lifting the kettle off the base.
4. If you remove the kettle during heating – before Auto Shut-Off – the blue
indicator lights will turn off. If you place the kettle back on the power base
you must push the on/off button to start the heating process.
5. If you change the setting during heating, the heater and temperature lights
will turn off as the rotary dial is turned. When the dial is set at a temperature,
the temperature and power lights will be steady on.
6. If the kettle is "ON" and no water is detected, the heater and temperature
lights will turn off. This may cause the heating dome to discolor and the
glass may become warm.
7. Do not leave water standing in the kettle for more than 1 hour. Water
becomes stale.
CLEANING
• Always unplug cord of power base before cleaning.
• Make sure kettle is cold.
• Clean the exterior surface with a clean, damp, soft cloth.
• Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring agents.
• Rinse out kettle and wipe dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Attention:
• Over time the stainless steel cover of the heating element inside the bottom
of the kettle may change color slightly. This is caused by the intense heat of
the heating element.
• If your water has a high iron content brownish stains may appear on the
stainless steel element (this is also known as "boiler scale"). These stains can
be wiped away with a cloth and a mild abrasive. Rinse kettle thoroughly with
fresh water.
DECALCIFICATION
Hard water can leave calcium spots inside the kettle. Use a commercial
descaling agent and follow the instructions that come with the agent.
NOTE: Make sure kettle is cold.
Use of Vinegar
You can also use white vinegar to descale the inside. Fill the kettle with 2 cups
of water (16 oz) and add 6 tablespoons of white vinegar. Bring to a boil.
Discard the solution and repeat if necessary. Rinse the kettle once or twice with
fresh cold water.
