Care, Cleaning and Storage
CAUTION:
This kettle is
designed for the boiling
of drinking quality water
only; never use it to heat
or boil any other liquids
or foodstuffs. The lid
should always be firmly
in place and locked
closed before use.
CAUTION:
Do not open
the lid while the water is
boiling. Ensure the lid is
closed whilst boiling.
Safety Boil Dry Protection
The kettle is fitted with a safety device
which protects against overheating
should the appliance be operated
with insufficient water. If this occurs,
the kettle will stop heating and
automatically switch ‘OFF’.
Should this occur, switch off at the
power outlet and unplug. Allow kettle
to cool before refilling. Remove the
kettle from the power base and
add water. Return the kettle to the
power base. The safety device will
automatically reset.
Always switch off at the power outlet
and then unplug the kettle from the
power outlet before cleaning.
Cleaning the Kettle Exterior
The outside surface of the kettle may
be wiped over with a damp cloth and
polished with a soft, clean dry cloth.
Cleaning the
Removable Filter
The kettle features a removable mesh
filter to remove scale deposits for
cleaner water.
To remove the scale deposits from the
filter, open the lid and slide the filter
up and out of the kettle.
The filter can be cleaned by running
under hot water and rubbing with a
cleaning cloth or brush. To replace
filter, simply slide the filter down into
the slot behind the spout of the kettle
and push back into position. .
TIP:
The filter could become
damaged with time, please
check regularly and replace if
found damaged.
NOTE:
Ensure the kettle and
water has cooled down before
attempting to clean the filter.
NOTE:
Do not use chemical,
steel wool, or abrasive cleaners
to clean the inside or outside of
the kettle.
WARNING:
To prevent
damage to the
appliance do not
use alkaline cleaning
agents when cleaning;
use a soft cloth and mild
detergents.
WARNING:
Never
immerse the kettle base,
switch area, power base
or power supply cord in
water or allow moisture
to come in contact with
these parts.
Mineral Deposits and
Discolouration
Due to the large surface area of the
immersed element (interior base),
discolouration due to mineral deposits
from tap water may appear more
obvious by leaving a brown stain on
the base. THIS IS NOT RUST.
To remove the discolouration,
follow the instructions “Removing
Mineral Deposits”.
Removing Mineral Deposits
Mineral deposits in tap water may
cause the kettle interior and water
window to discolour over time.
This may be removed by using a
proprietary kettle descaler which
is available from most leading
supermarkets, department stores
and hardware stores.
Alternatively:
1. Fill the kettle until
2
⁄
3
full with 1 part
vinegar (or a few slices of lemon)
and 2 parts water, bring to the boil
and allow to stand overnight.
2. Empty the solution from the kettle.
Fill the kettle with clean water,
bring to boil and discard the water.
Repeat and the kettle will be ready
for use.
Storage
Ensure the kettle is switched off,
cleaned and dried before storing.
Ensure that the lid is closed and
locked firmly into place. Wrap the
power cord around the cord storage
under the power base. Stand the
kettle upright on the power base.
Do not store anything on top.
