Instructions for Use
n
Before using for the first time, we recommend operating the kettle 2 or 3 times. This
will remove any dust or residue remaining from its manufacture. Fill to the MAX mark
level (1.5L), bring to the boil and when boiling has finished and the kettle has switched
off, discard the water and rinse out the inside.
n
Open the lid by pressing the lid release button located on top of the handle.
n
Fill the kettle with the required amount of cold water. The water gauge is on the side
of the kettle and is marked with MIN (0.5L) and MAX (1.5L).
N.B.
Take care not to exceed the MAX mark as this may cause spitting or leaking from the
spout when boiling.
n
Push the lid to close it; you will feel and hear a slight click.
n
Align the kettle over the power base with the spout facing away from you and gently
lower it into position, sitting it firmly on the power base.
n
Switch the kettle on by pressing down the power switch at the rear of the kettle.
n
The kettle will switch off automatically when it has finished boiling. However, the
kettle can be switched off at any time by simply lifting the power switch.
n
Pour water out slowly and return the kettle to the power base after pouring. If you wish
to re-boil the water, you must press the power switch again.
N.B.
A couple of water droplets or condensation may appear on the power base, this is
quite normal and not a leak.
N.B.
Do not open the lid of the kettle or during the heating process when pouring; escaping
steam may scald.
n
Once the kettle is re-located on the power base, it can be switched on again at any
time. If the switch will not stay down, it means the control is still a little warm; this is
normal and it will simply re-set itself in a few seconds when cooled and will be ready
to boil again.
N.B.
If the kettle is accidentally switched on without a sufficient water level, a boil dry
mechanism will automatically switch the kettle off.

If the kettle is accidentally switched on without a sufficient water level, a boil dry
mechanism will automatically switch the kettle off.

For best results, empty the kettle after each use. Do not leave water standing in the
kettle. This is to help prevent build up of hard water limescale.
