Before plugging in
- Make sure your electricity supply is the same as the one
shown on the underside of your kettle.
Before using for the first time
1 Wrap any excess cord around the bracket on the underside
of the powerbase 1.
2 Fill to ‘MAX’, boil, then pour the water away. Repeat 2 to 3
times.
To use your kettle
1 Fill the kettle through either the spout or lid. The water
level must be between ‘MAX’ and 1 cup (200mls).
- Be economical: do not boil more water than you need.
- To improve the quality of your drinks always use fresh water.
- Empty the kettle after each use.
2 Check the lid is closed. Close the lid by pushing down on
the finger pad area 2.
3 Plug in and switch on.
4 Your kettle will boil and switch off automatically. To re-boil,
wait a few seconds - the on/off switch needs time to reset.
- If you experience problems with your kettle switch-
ing on and off during use or switching off before
boiling, check that the flat element is free from
limescale - see “descaling”.
- Your kettle is fitted with a filter to hold back limescale particles.
- If you find drops of water under your kettle, don’t worry - it
is just condensation.
Boil-dry protection
- If you switch on with too little water, your kettle will cut
out automatically. Switch off, remove from the powerbase
and let it cool down before re-filling. When it has cooled
down, the switch will reset itself.
Care and cleaning
- Before cleaning, unplug your kettle and let it cool down.
The outside and powerbase
- Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry. Do not use abrasives -
they will scratch the metal and plastic surfaces.
The inside
- Even though your kettle comes with a filter, you still need
to clean the inside (and the filter) regularly.
The filter
1 Open the lid.
2 Slide the filter out 3.
3 either rinse under the tap or use a soft brush.
or when descaling your kettle, drop the filter in too. Rinse
thoroughly.
4 Slide the filter back in to refit 4.
Descaling
- Regular descaling of the flat element will improve the per-
formance of your kettle. If the kettle is not descaled regu-
larly the build up of limescale may result in the following:
- problems may be experienced with the kettle switching
on and off during use or switching off before boiling.
- the kettle may take longer to boil.
- the flat element may be damaged.
Please note: Failure to descale your kettle may invalidate
your guarantee.
- When limescale starts to build up on the heating element,
buy a suitable descaler and descale your kettle. After
descaling, boil with fresh water several times and discard.
Clean any descaler off the kettle - it can damage the parts.
- Some regions of the country have chalky water. This makes
boiled water look cloudy and leaves a deposit on the side
of the kettle. This is normal but can be removed with regu-
lar cleaning.
- Alternatively, to reduce limescale build up, use filtered
water to fill your kettle.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
a) A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord.
b) Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the elec-
trical rating of the appliance;
2) The extension cord should be a grounding type 3-wire cord; and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over.
