BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any packaging and promotional
material from your kettle and position it on
a stable, secure, dry and level work surface
away from the edge.
Before connecting to a power source,
make sure your mains supply voltage
is the same as the one indicated on the
appliance. Connect the plug to a suitable
power outlet and make sure that the power
cord does not overhang the work surface.
Excess power cord can be stored in the
power base.
Remove the kettle from the power base
and open the lid. Fill your kettle to the
maximum mark and close the lid.
Place your kettle back onto the power
base. Switch your kettle on, allow it to boil
then discard the water. Repeat twice. This
will remove any residue left over from the
manufacturing process.
USING YOUR KETTLE
If this kettle is filled above the
maximum level mark, hot water may be
ejected from the spout during boiling.
Beware of steam coming from the spout
or lid especially during refilling. Never
open the lid when the kettle is boiling.
1. With your kettle switched off, plug the
power base into a suitable power outlet.
2. Remove your kettle from the power
base before filling it with water.
3. Fill your kettle with water. You can
fill it through the spout or by opening
the lid. Don’t overfill your kettle and
always ensure that there is sufficient
water in your kettle for it to operate
correctly. This is approximately 250ml
or 1 teacup full. Always check the water
level when your kettle is positioned on
its power base.
4. If opened previously, close the lid and
then switch your kettle on. Make sure
that the lid is correctly closed to ensure
safe operation.
5. When the kettle is switched on, the
water level windows will illuminate.
6. When the water reaches boiling point,
your kettle will switch off automatically.
7. You may also switch your kettle off
manually at any time by moving the
switch to the off position.
ENERGY SAVING HINTS AND TIPS
A Breville
®
kettle, if used correctly, is a very
energy efficient device. Why not try some
of these energy saving tips:
•
Only boil the water you need. Overfilling
your kettle by one cup is the equivalent
to using an energy saving light bulb for
one hour!
• It is not always necessary to re-boil
your kettle. For example, one litre of
water will still be at 90°C after five
minutes - the perfect temperature for a
cup of coffee.
IF THE KETTLE BOILS DRY
If the kettle is operated with insufficient
water a built in fail-safe device will
automatically switch it off.
• Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool.
When it has cooled down sufficiently
the safety device will reset itself.
•
Once the safety device has reset, refill
your kettle with cold water and use it as
normal.
