Braun 3219 - Manual (Page 4)

Our products are engineered to meet the
highest standards of quality, functionality
and design. We hope you enjoy your new
Braun appliance.
Important
• Read all instructions thoroughly before
using this product.
• Make sure that your voltage corresponds
to the voltage printed on the bottom
of the kettle. The kettle may only be
operated on the base (g) supplied.
• This appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
• Keep the appliance out of reach of
children.
• Operate the kettle on a dry, level surface
only.
• The cord length may be reduced by
winding it into the cord channel on the
bottom of the base.
• The base, the kettle and the cord must
never be in contact with hot surfaces (e.g.
stove burners).
• In the event the kettle is switched on when
empty, the overheating protection will
immediately shut the kettle off. If this
happens, allow the kettle to cool down for
10 minutes before filling it with water.
• Caution: Do not fill the kettle above the
«max» mark! Water could boil over and
result in scalding.
• Do not open the lid while water
is boiling.
• During operation, the kettle will become
hot. Therefore use only the handle to carry
it.
Always hold the kettle in an upright
position, to avoid boiling water come
out.
• Never leave the appliance unsupervised
when switched on.
• Check the cord regularly for possible
damage.
• Braun electric appliances meet applicable
safety standards. Repairs on electric
appliances must only be done
by authorized service personnel.
Faulty or unqualified repair work may
cause accidents or injury to the user.

Before first use
Bring 1.6 l / 54 oz / 7 cups of water to a boil.

process.
Setting into operation
1a Fill the kettle through the spout with the
lid closed,
or:
1b Press the lid release switch (c) to open
the lid, fill with water and close the lid
again (the kettle will not operate with the
lid open).

base into an electrical outlet.
3 Press the on/off switch (d) and the power
indicator will come on
(do not open the lid once the kettle
is switched on).
4 When the water has boiled, the kettle will
automatically switch off provided the
anti-calcification filter is in place. Failure
to have this filter in place will mean a
delay in the kettle shutting off
automatically upon boiling.
You may also stop the kettle from boiling
at any time by pressing the on/off switch
(d).
Automatic shut-off feature
The kettle switches off automatically if ...
–
the water has boiled,
– it contains no water
(if accidentally switched on),
– the lid is opened,
– it is removed from the base.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug the base from
the electrical outlet.
Kettle and base must never be immersed in
water.
Clean the outside of the kettle with a damp
cloth; the inner part can be cleaned with
a brush.
The anti-calcification filter is dishwasher-
safe.
Descaling
• In order to extend the lifetime of the kettle,
it should be descaled regularly.
• Boil 0.8 l / 27 oz / 3 cups of water in the
kettle.
• After boiling, add 0.4 l / 14 oz / 1 1/2 cups
of white vinegar to the boiled water and
leave this solution to soak in the kettle
overnight.
• Important: Do not boil this solution as it
will overflow and could cause scalding.
• Empty the kettle and rinse the inside
thoroughly with clean, fresh water.
Then fill the kettle with clean water and
boil it.
• After the kettle has boiled, empty it and
rinse it out again with clean water.
• If the kettle still contains scale, repeat
this procedure.
• To remove any scale from the anti-calci-
fication filter, soak it in diluted vinegar.
