Unpacking

Take the unit out of the carton. Remove all pieces of 

the packing. Remove any possibly extant labels on 

the unit (do not remove the rating plate).

Before first use

Before using the water kettle for the first time, fill it 

to the maximum level with fresh water, boil, then 

pour the water away. Repeat this procedure 3 times. 

After repeatedly boiling water it is normal that some 

condensation may have formed on the base of the 

water kettle. If this happens, just wipe dry with a 

cloth.

(B) Setting into Operation

IMPORTANT: 

For a correct usage of the appliance, 

we recommend to insert the water filter and close 

the lid before starting operations.

• 

Fill the kettle with water either through the spout 

with the lid closed or  press the lid release button 

(3) to open the lid and fill with water. 

• 

Make sure not to exceed the maximum filling level 

mark.

• 

Close the lid, place the kettle on the dry base, 

plug in and ensure the scale filter is inserted.  

• 

Press down the On/Off switch (5), the indicator 

light is flashing. Do not open the lid when the 

kettle is switched on.

• 

When the boiling process is complete, the kettle 

automatically switches off. You may also stop the 

heating procedure at any time by switching the 

appliance off.

• 

Empty the water kettle after each use.

Note: 

If you have not used the water kettle for more 

than 2 days, rinse it with fresh water.

Auto Off Function

For your convenience and also additional safety, the 

appliance will switch off automatically if :

• 

The boiling process is complete 

• 

There is no water in the kettle (in case of 

accidental switching on)

• 

The kettle is taken off the base

Note: 

If the scale filter is not installed, the auto off 

function will be delayed.

Descaling 

Frequency will depend upon the hardness of your 

tap water and how often you use the appliance. 

You can check the water hardness with your

local water supplier.

We recommend every 3 months in case of normal 

use (up to 5 times a day) with low to medium water 

hardness.

Every month in case of more frequent usage or with 

hard water.

You can use a commercially available decalcifying 

agent.  

We recommend using the Braun Descaling solution 

(may be purchased separately*). 

Follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the 

decalcifying agent.

*availability to be confirmed by country

Alternatively you can use vinegar: 

• 

Boil 0.8 l water (WK 3100, WK 3110) respectively 

0.5 l (WK 3000) water in the kettle.

• 

Important: Switch off the kettle and add 0.5 l (WK 

3100, WK 3110) respectively 0.2 l (WK 3000) 

household vinegar (4% acid). Do not boil the 

content. 

• 

The mixture of water and vinegar remains in the 

kettle for about 2 hours. 

• 

Empty the kettle and rinse the inside thoroughly 

with fresh water. Fill the kettle with fresh water 

and boil it.

• 

To remove any scale from the scale filter, you may 

soak it in diluted vinegar.

Repeat the procedure as many times as necessary.

Allow the maximum amount of fresh cold water to 

rinse through at least twice to clean the appliance.
