Do you have a question about the Sencor SWK 1220GG and is the answer not in the manual?
This document provides a comprehensive user manual for the Sencor Electric Kettle, covering its function, usage, and maintenance.
The Sencor Electric Kettle is designed for the sole purpose of boiling drinking water. It operates by heating water through an internal heating element, automatically switching off once the water reaches boiling point. The kettle is intended for domestic use and similar environments, such as staff kitchens in offices, agricultural farms, hotel rooms, and bed and breakfast establishments. It features a power indicator light to show when it is actively heating water and an automatic shut-off mechanism for safety and energy efficiency. The kettle is equipped with a removable filtration strainer to capture limescale, preventing it from being poured into your cup.
Before First Use: Before using the kettle for the first time, it is essential to remove all packaging materials from both the kettle and its base. To ensure cleanliness and remove any manufacturing residues, fill the kettle with clean water up to the maximum mark, boil it, and then empty the contents. This process should be repeated two to three times. After this initial cleaning, the kettle is ready for regular operation.
Operating the Kettle: To use the kettle, first, adjust the power cord length and secure it into the groove in the base. Place the base on a stable, even, and dry surface, avoiding window sills, kitchen sink drainboards, or unstable areas. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water. Water can be added either through the spout or by opening the lid. To open the lid, press the designated open lid button. It is crucial to ensure the water level is between the minimum (0.5L) and maximum (1.2L) marks. Overfilling can cause boiling water to splash out, while underfilling may lead to the kettle turning on empty, which can negatively affect its lifespan. Always close the lid securely after filling.
Safety Precautions During Use: Never fill the kettle while it is placed on its base. Once filled and the lid is closed, place the kettle on its base. Insert the power plug into a properly grounded power socket. To start boiling, set the 0/1 switch to the "I" (On) position; the power indicator light will illuminate. The kettle will automatically turn off when the water boils, and the indicator light will extinguish. The boiling process can be manually interrupted at any time by setting the switch to "0" (Off).
When pouring boiled water, keep the kettle in a vertical position, especially if it is filled to the maximum mark, to prevent spills. Exercise extreme caution when opening the lid after boiling, as escaping steam can cause scalding. After use, always disconnect the power cord from the socket, empty the kettle, and allow it to cool down.
Important Safety Instructions: The surface of the heating element and the kettle body remain hot due to residual heat after use; avoid touching these hot surfaces. Always use the handle for lifting and carrying the kettle. Be particularly careful when pouring water to prevent scalding from boiling water or steam. Never use the kettle near a bath, shower, or swimming pool. Do not wash the kettle or its base under running water, and never submerge either in water or any other liquid. Only use the kettle with the base provided. Do not use the kettle to heat other liquids or foodstuffs. Always remove the kettle from its base before filling.
Ensure the lid is securely closed before starting the kettle and do not open or handle it while water is boiling. Avoid spilling water onto the connector when placing or removing the kettle from its base. Always disconnect the kettle from the power socket when leaving it unsupervised, not using it, or before moving or cleaning it. Disconnect by pulling on the plug, not the power cord, to prevent damage. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a professional service center; never use a kettle with a damaged power cord. Do not attempt to repair or adjust the kettle yourself to avoid electrical shock; all repairs must be performed by an authorized service center. Unauthorized tampering will void your warranty.
This appliance can be used by children aged 8 and above, and by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, provided they are supervised and have been instructed on safe use and understand the associated hazards. Children younger than 8 years of age should be kept away from the appliance and its power cord. Children should not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised.
Cleaning the Kettle: Before cleaning, ensure the kettle is turned off, disconnected from the power socket, and has cooled down completely. For external parts, use a dry cloth or a cloth dampened with a weak solution of neutral kitchen detergent. After applying the detergent, wipe the surface with a lightly damp cloth, then wipe dry. The base should only be cleaned with a dry cloth. Never use solvents or abrasive cleaning agents.
Cleaning the Filtration Strainer: The removable filter helps to capture limescale. It should be cleaned regularly under running water using a fine nylon brush. Alternatively, it can be submerged for several hours in a vinegar-water solution (recommended dilution ratio 1:2). After soaking, rinse the filter thoroughly under clean running water.
Removing Limescale Deposits: Limescale deposits can negatively impact the kettle's lifespan and should be removed regularly. The frequency of removal depends on water hardness and usage. For standard use (3-5 times per day):
To remove limescale, you can use:
| rated voltage range | 220−240 V |
