GETTING THE
BEST FROM
YOUR NEW
KETTLE
Safety first:
Always pour
water slowly and carefully to
prevent the splashing of
scalding water.
Empty the water out of
the kettle after first
boiling:
To clean away any
deposits that are left in the
kettle after the
manufacturing process.
Descale as appropriate
for the hardness of the
water in your area:
It is
important to descale as the
performance of the kettle
for auto switch-off will be
impaired.
Fast boil kettles perform
differently:
If your kettle is a
fast boil model, it may
sound louder during boiling,
and switch off suddenly
with no after noise - this is
normal.
