HELPFUL HINTS
•
Always use fresh, cold water each time you boil the kettle.
•
Ensure the lid is securely in place whenever the kettle is in use.
•
If the kettle is accidentally switched on with too little water, the boil-dry mechanism will automatically switch
it off to prevent overheating.
•
If water is spilled onto the 360° base, please disconnect the kettle from the mains supply before mopping
up the liquid. Ensure that the base and central socket are completely dry before using the kettle.
CARE AND CLEANING
Allow the kettle to cool completely before cleaning, and disconnect from the mains supply. The outside of the
kettle may be wiped over with a damp cloth and polished with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemicals, steel wool
or abrasive cleaners on the inside or outside of the kettle. CAUTION: never immerse the kettle, base, cord or
plug in water or any other liquid.
DESCALING
Over time, limescale in tap water can build up and clog the kettle, reducing its efficiency. We recommend
descaling the kettle regularly using a proprietary brand of descaler, following the instructions on the packaging.
The frequency will depend upon the hardness of water in your area.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
This appliance is fitted with a fused three-pin plug to BS1363 which is suitable for use in all homes fitted with
sockets to current specifications. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and
carefully disposed of. To avoid an electric shock, do not insert the discarded plug into a socket.
Fitting a new plug
If for any reason you need to fit a new plug, the flexible mains lead must be connected as shown here. The wires
in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Connect BLUE to Neutral (N)
Connect GREEN & YELLOW to Earth (E)
Connect BROWN to Live (L)
13 amp fuse to be used
If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance do not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows. The wire which is coloured green and yellow MUST
be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter E (Earth) or coloured green. The wire which is
coloured blue MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N (Neutral) or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L (Live)
or coloured red.
Before refitting the plug cover, check that there are no cut or stray strands of wire inside the plug. Use a 13 amp
BS1362 fuse. Only BSI or ASTA approved fuses should be used. If you are at all unsure which plug or fuse to
use, always refer to a qualified electrician.
Note: after replacing or changing a fuse on a moulded plug which has a fuse cover, the cover must be refitted
to the plug; the appliance must not be used without a fuse cover. If lost, replacement fuse covers can be
obtained from an electrical shop. This appliance complies with the following EEC Directives: 73/23 EEC (Low
Voltage Directive) and 89/336 EEC (EMC Directive).
