1.
Fill the kettle with at least
enough water to cover the
element, marked by
MIN
inside
the kettle and outside at the
water guage. Don’t overfill it,
marked by
MAX
inside the
kettle and outside on the water
guage.
2.
Don’t forget to close the lid
after filling.
3.
Take the kettle to the base
unit, hold the kettle level, then
gently but firmly - push the
handle end down to engage the
base unit connector. Plug in and
switch on the wall socket.

Operate the switch lever to
on /

and the neon light will go on.
5.
When the water boils, the
kettle will switch off automati-
cally. As it does so, a drop of
water may emerge from the vent
in the base of the kettle control
housing. This is normal and not
a fault.
6.
Important: Ensure that the
kettle has switched off automati-
cally, or is switched off manually,
operating the switch lever to
O
position, before attempting to
remove the kettle from the base
unit.
7.
To remove the kettle from
the base unit, switch off at the
wall socket, grasp the handle and
hold the kettle level while lifting
it clear of the base unit. Take
extra care if the kettle is filled to
MAX
.
8.
If you do not put in enough
water, or if you switch on the
kettle when it is empty, the
safety cut-out will switch off the
power automatically. If this
happens, remove the cord and
leave the kettle to stand for the
element to cool down naturally,
then refill and use the kettle as
normal.
