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 the kettle switched off, plug the power base into a suitable power outlet.
2. Remove the kettle from the power base before filling it with water.
3. Fill the kettle with water. Don’t overfill the kettle and always ensure that there is
sufficient water in the kettle for it to operate correctly. This is approximately 250ml or
1 tea cup full. Always check the water level when the kettle is positioned on its power
base.
4. Close the lid and then switch the kettle on by moving the switch to the down position.
Make sure that the lid is closed correctly to ensure safe operation.
5. When the kettle is switched on, the on/off switch will illuminate.
6. When the water reaches boiling point, the kettle will switch off automatically.
7. You may also switch the kettle off manually at any time by moving the switch to the
up position.
Always use caution when carrying the kettle when it is full of boiling water and when
pouring it.
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.
