BOILING WATER
1.
Ensure the kettle is unplugged, and open the lid.
2.
Fill with fresh, cold water, paying attention to the MAX mark inside the kettle. Boiling water may escape
from the spout if the kettle is too full. The maximum capacity is 500ml.
3.
Press down the lid – you will hear a ‘click’ when it is closed securely.
4.
Plug in the kettle. Press the kettle on/off switch. The indicator light will show the kettle is working.
5.
The kettle will switch off automatically when the water has boiled.
6.
To re-boil, let the kettle cool down a little before pressing the on/off switch again.
7.
After use, the kettle should be emptied of water. Switch off at the socket and unplug. Allow the kettle to
cool down completely before storing in its drawstring bag.
BOIL-DRY PROTECTION
If the kettle is switched on with too little or no water, it will cut out automatically to stop it boiling dry. To reset
the on/off switch, unplug the kettle and let it cool before filling with water. The kettle should now work as normal.
CARE AND CLEANING
Allow the kettle to cool completely before cleaning, and unplug from the mains socket. 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, cord or plug in
water or any other liquid. Do not place in the dishwasher.

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).
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 boiled. A soft
brush may also be used to loosen scale from inside the kettle.
