to use your kettle
1 Fill the kettle through either the spout
or by removing the lid. The water
level must be between ‘MAX’ and
1 cup (250mls).
l
If you live in a hard water area we
recommend that you use filtered
water in order to maintain the
appearance and efficiency of your
kettle.
l
Be economical: do not boil more
water than you need.
l
To improve the quality of your drinks
always use fresh water.
l
Empty the kettle after each use.
l
Rinse out with fresh water if the
kettle has not been used for more
than 2 days.
2 Check the lid is fitted correctly.

will come 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.
Note - To interrupt the boiling
ensure that the switch is
in the off position before
removing from the powerbase.
l
If you experience problems
with your kettle switching
on and off during use or
switching off before boiling,
check that the flat element
is free from scale - see
“descaling”.
l
Your kettle is fitted with a filter to
hold back limescale particles.
l
If you find drops of water under
your kettle, do not worry - it is just
condensation.
boil-dry protection
l
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.

descaling
l
Regular descaling of the flat element
will improve the performance of your
kettle. If the kettle is not descaled
regularly the build up of limescale
may result in the following:
l
problems may be experienced
with the kettle switching on and
off during use or switching off
before boiling.
l
the kettle may take longer to boil.
l
the flat element may be damaged.
Please note: Failure to descale your
kettle may invalidate your guarantee.
l
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.
