etc.
• After the kettle has been rinsed out, refit the filter
(fig.3).
Using the kettle
With the specially designed power base and central
connector, you can now set the kettle on the base at any
angle, from any position.
• Release the cord from the storage base and adjust the
length by winding around the base to give the correct
cord length to reach the plug socket to be used (fig. 4).
• Do not leave loose cord hanging over the edge of work
surfaces.
Filling
• Remove the kettle from the base unit before filling.
• Remove the lid and fill the kettle to the desired level.
Do not fill with less than 0.3 litres of water
(min
level) to prevent the kettle running dry while in use;
misuse of this kind will shorten the life of the element.
Do not fill with more than 1.5 litres of water
(max.
level).
If the kettle is overfilled, there is a risk that
boiling water may overflow and cause burns.
• To close the lid, push it onto the kettle body until it clicks
firmly into place.
•
The water level indicator enables you to see the quantity
of water in the kettle.
Switching on
• Plug the power base into the mains socket.
• Place the kettle on the power base.
• Push the ON/OFF switch down (fig.5) to switch the
kettle on.
• The power-on indicator lights will illuminate.
• The kettle will automatically switch off once the water
is boiled (the ON/OFF switch will click upwards and the
lights will switch off ).
• To turn the kettle off before the water boils, you may
move the ON/OFF switch up to the OFF position, or
simply lift the kettle from its base - it will switch off and
the switch will return to the OFF position automatically.
Pouring
• Remove the kettle from the power base and carefully
pour out the water. Do not tilt the kettle suddenly or
pour water out at too sharp an angle.
• When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see
moisture on the top surface of the base. Condensation
on the base is perfectly normal, and should not be a
cause for alarm.
SAFETY DEVICES
1) Automatic ON/OFF switch
Your kettle is fitted with an ON/OFF switch which
automatically switches off once the water has boiled.
If the kettle has just boiled, wait a minute or so before
re-boiling the kettle. Do not attempt to hold the ON/
OFF switch in the “on” position or adjust the switch
mechanism.
2) Safety cut-out
If the kettle is switched ON with too little or no water, it
is protected against damage by a safety cut-out device
which will switch off the power.
If this cut-out operates, disconnect the kettle from the
mains supply and
leave to cool down
before refilling
with cold water (otherwise the element could be
damaged).
It will reset automatically when cooled down.
3)
If the kettle is lifted from base while operating (ON), it
will automatically switch off.
