2 - Kettles - How does it work?

Stap 1 — General operating principles

The principles are simple. The base is connected to the mains via the power cord. When the reservoir is placed on the base, the 3a 3b device powers the resistor at the bottom of the reservoir. A 6 switch on the reservoir handle switches the power on and off.

Stap 2 — Description of reservoir parts

The reservoir consists of a plastic shell with a handle. Inside this handle is a 6 switch for switching on the kettle. The resistor 4 placed inside, is fixed by three screws to the connection device 3b A gasket 5 ensures watertightness.

Stap 3 — Operation of the on/off device

The 3 device is the centerpiece of this kettle. It performs a number of functions: - electrical connection between the base and the reservoir - manual switching on and off of the heating element - automatic switching off when the water temperature is reached.
