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).
CARE AND CLEANING
Unplug the kettle and let it cool completely before cleaning. The outside of the kettle may be wiped over with a
damp cloth, then a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, steel wool or abrasive cleaners 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
in your area.
The filter also needs regular cleaning, especially if pouring becomes slow or if you see limescale deposits
on the filter. Always unplug the kettle and let it cool down first.
1.
Remove the lid. The filter is located by the spout; hold it at the top and lift out.
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.
