USING YOUR KETTLE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Carefully unpack your kettle and remove any packaging. The kettle is cordless and its 360° base is suitable for
left or right-handed use. Place the kettle and base on a level, sturdy and dry surface, well away from the edge.
Wrap any excess cord beneath the base, for safety, and pull the remaining cord through the notch in the base.
Before using the kettle to make drinks, we recommend you fill it with fresh water and boil two to three times,
discarding the water each time. The filter can also be removed and rinsed in clean water.
BOILING WATER
1.
Before putting the kettle onto its base, make sure the on/off switch is in the off position (O). Make sure the
base is unplugged.
2.
Press the lid release to open the lid. Lift the kettle off its base and fill with fresh, cold water through the lid
opening.
3.
Put the kettle back on its base and check the water level, paying attention to the MAX mark and the
minimum 2 cup mark. Boiling water may escape if the kettle is overfilled.
4.
Close the lid. Plug the power cord into a socket and switch on. Press the kettle on/off switch. The water
level windows will light up blue to show the kettle is boiling.
5.
The kettle will switch off automatically when the water has boiled, and the blue lights will go out. The kettle
can be switched off at any time before the water boils, simply by pressing the on/off switch.
6.
Lift the kettle by its handle and pour the water. To re-boil, wait for 30 seconds before pressing the on/off
switch again. Do not force the switch as this may damage the kettle.
7.
After use, the kettle should be emptied of water and stored on its base. Switch off at the socket and
unplug.
CAUTION: always make sure the kettle is switched off before lifting it off the base. To prevent scalding, never
open the lid when water is boiling or steam is coming out of the spout.
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. If this
happens, switch off and unplug the kettle and let it cool down for 5 to 10 minutes, before filling with water. The
kettle should now work as normal.
HELPFUL HINTS
•
Always use fresh, cold water each time you boil the kettle.
•
In some areas, water appears cloudy because of calcium. This is normal, and becomes transparent when
boiled.
•
Ensure the lid is securely closed whenever the kettle is in use. If not, boiling water may splash out and the
kettle will not switch off automatically.
•
If water is spilled onto the base, please unplug the kettle from the mains socket before mopping up the
liquid. Ensure that the base and central socket are completely dry before using the kettle.
CARE AND CLEANING
Unplug the kettle and let it cool completely before cleaning. The outside of the kettle may be wiped over with a
soft, damp cloth, then a soft, dry cloth. To remove stubborn marks, moisten the cloth in mild liquid detergent. Do
not use harsh chemicals, steel wool or abrasive scourers as they will damage 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 inside the kettle, reducing its efficiency. We recommend descaling
the kettle regularly using a proprietary brand of descaler, following the instructions on the packaging. Rinse the
kettle thoroughly after use. The frequency will depend upon the hardness of water where you live.
The filter also needs regular cleaning. Always unplug the kettle and let it cool down first.
1.
Open the lid and pull out the filter from behind the spout.
2.
Rinse the filter under warm water and gently remove any scale build-up with a soft brush. If using a
proprietary brand of descaler, follow the instructions on the packaging. Rinse the filter thoroughly after use.
3.
Making sure your hands are free from soap, lotion or anything that may taint the water, replace the filter.
