• Press the switch down. The switch will light up, and the kettle will start to
heat up.
• When the water has boiled the kettle will switch off automatically, the switch
will return to the “OFF” position and the light will go out.
Switching off
• If you need to switch the kettle off at any time before the water boils, simply
lift it front the power base and set it down again. The switch will pop up, into
the “OFF” position.
GENERAL
• When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see moisture on the surface
of the base. This is the steam used to switch the kettle off automatically,
which then condenses and is allowed to escape via vents in the underside
of the kettle, do not lift it backwards, as this may allow water to pass
through the steam aperture on to the control area. Should this occur, the
kettle must be allowed to dry before use.
• To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.
MISUSE
1. Do not switch the kettle on unless it contains at least one cup of water.
Misuse of this kind will shorten the life of the element.
2. If the kettle is accidentally switched on when it does not contain sufficient
water, a boil-dry device will automatically switch it off. Wait until the kettle
has cooled down before filling, as the element will be hot and spitting
may occur.
CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning
1. Switch the kettle off (lift it from the power base), unplug the power base
from the wall socket and let the kettle cool down completely before
cleaning.
2. Wash the outside and inside surfaces of the kettle with a damp cloth. If
necessary, you may use a little household detergent. To clean the filter,
see “Water filter” below. If you use detergent inside the kettle, rinse
thoroughly afterwards to remove all trace if the detergent.
3. Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry.
