Descaling
• Limescale may be white, coloured, even rusty-looking, but it’s normally visible.
• Phosphate scale isn’t generally visible, but it’s there, even in soft water areas.
• All scale causes overheating, reduces the kettle’s life, and may trigger the boil-dry cut-out.
• Even with soft water, descale regularly, to help keep your kettle in working order. Use a descaler
suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts).
• Store the kettle with the power cable loosely coiled or stored in the base. Never wrap it tightly
around the base or kettle.

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 EC
Directives: 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage Directive) and 2004/108/EC (EMC Directive)
