Fill the kettle with clean water to maximum
capacity and boil. Discard the water and repeat
the process.
BEFORE
FIRST USE
1. The kettle should always be unplugged when
filling or adding water.
2. Fill the kettle with water to the desired level.
Do not overfill or there will be a risk of spill-
age. The water level indicator will assist you
to measure the correct amount. You can fill
the kettle via the spout or after opening the
lid. Do not forget to close the lid after filling;
otherwise the kettle will not automatically
switch off after use.
3. Do not fill with less than 0.5 litres of water
(3cups or up to “MIN” indication) to prevent
the kettle running dry while operating.
4. Do not fill with more than 1.8 litres (1.7 liters
for IM-140W, IM-141B, IM-142W & IM-
143B) of water (up to “MAX” indication).
5. An automatic safety power cut-off has been
fitted for protection against overheating. It
will operate if the kettle is switched on and
there is insufficient water. Always ensure the
water inside the kettle covers the minimum
mark on the water level indicator gauge. If
the automatic safety power cut-off is trig-
gered, switch the kettle off, disconnect from
the power outlet and allow the kettle to cool
down for 5 to 10 minutes. Then refill with
water and switch on – the kettle will then
boil and cut off as in normal operation.
6.
(Models IM-142W, IM-143B and IM-149S)
Place the power base on a dry, flat surface.
Place the kettle on the power base. The elec-
trical connection will be made automatically
as the kettle slides onto the power base.
7. Plug in the cord set into outlet. The electrical
connection will be made automatically as the
kettle slides onto the base. For models
InSTRUcTIOnS
FOR USE
IM-142W, IM-143B and IM-149S, plug power
base into outlet.
8. Plug the cord set into a polarized power
socket and switch on by depressing the
switch of the kettle to the “ON” position.
9. When the water finishes boiling, the kettle
will switch off automatically. After allowing
the kettle to cool down for 15 – 20 seconds,
you can boil the water again by pushing the
switch back to the “ON” position. During
the cooling down time do not force the on/
off switch into the “ON” position as this can
damage the operating mechanism.
10.
(Models IM-142W, IM-143B and IM-149S)
Do
not remove the kettle from the power base
without switching off first.
11. Remember, if you do not wish to re-boil the
water, switch the kettle off.
12. The kettle may be switched off manually at
any time by setting the on/off switch into the
“OFF” position.
hOw TO caRE FOR
yOUR kETTlE
• Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft,
damp cloth or sponge. Remove stubborn
spots with a cloth moistened with mild liquid
detergent. Do not use abrasive scouring pads
or powers. Never immerse the kettle in water
or other liquids.
• From time to time, dependent on the nature
of your water supply, a lime scale deposit is
naturally formed and can be found mostly
adhered to the heating element, thus reduc-
ing the heating capacity. The amount of lime
scale deposited (and subsequently the need to
clean or rescale) largely depends on the water
hardness in your area the frequency with
which the kettle is used.
• Lime scale is not harmful to your health.
But if poured into your beverage, it can give
a powdery taste to your drink. Therefore,
the kettle should be descaled periodically as
indicated below.
