If your kettle boils dry

If the kettle is operated with insufficient water a built in fail-safe 

device will automatically switch off the kettle. 
• 

Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool. When the kettle has 

cooled down sufficiently the device will reset itself.

•  Once the device has reset, refill the kettle with cold water 

and use it as normal.

Energy saving hints and tips

Your 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.

Care and cleaning

 Always unplug  the kettle from the mains supply socket and allow it 

to completely cool down before cleaning or descaling it. Do not immerse 

the kettle, power base or power cord and plug in water or any other 

liquid.

1.  Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a damp cloth 

and then polish with a soft dry cloth. Do not use steel wool 

pads or harsh/abrasive cleaners.  

2. 

Descale your kettle regularly to keep it working efficiently. 

Use a proprietary descaling product following the 

manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

Cleaning the filter

•  Open the lid and remove the filter from behind the spout.
•  Rinse the filter under a tap whilst brushing it with a soft 

brush. In hard water areas it may be necessary to descale 

the filter using a descaling agent.

•  Use a proprietary descaling product following the 

manufacturer’s instructions carefully. The filter may be 

washed safely in the cutlery rack of a dishwasher.

•  Refit the filter back into the kettle.
