Using
Filling the kettle
1
Hold the lid knob and pull upwards to
remove the lid completely.
2
Fill the kettle up to the maximum mark.
3
Replace the kettle lid, plug in and switch
on at the wall socket.
4
Switch the kettle on. The ‘power on’
neon will light up.
5
When the water boils the kettle will
switch off automatically.
• If you are using the kettle for the first
time, pour away the boiled water and
refill.
6
Lift the kettle by the handle ensuring you
hold the kettle level.
7
To re-boil, switch to ON again. If the
kettle has just switched off wait a minute
or so before switching it back on again.
This will allow the switch to cool and re-
set.
• This product is designed for use with 0.5
litre of water. If hot water is left in the
kettle it may take longer to re-set. In this
case refill with cold water to the 0.5 litre
maximum mark.
• If you do not put in enough water, or
switch on the kettle when it is empty, the
safety cut-out will switch off the power
automatically. If this happens, refill and
wait a few minutes for the element to
cool, then use as normal.
Descaling
IMPORTANT: As this kettle is fitted with a
concealed element it must be descaled
regularly. Frequency of descaling depends
on usage and the hardness of the water in
your area.
Excessive scale can cause the kettle to
switch off before boiling and may damage
the element invalidating the warranty.
It is essential that regular descaling takes
place.
Remove hard scale using a proprietary
descaling product suitable for stainless
steel kettles.
We recommend Oust All purpose
Descaler (please follow the instructions
carefully) which may be purchased from our
Helpline or from your local retailer.
Alternatively use citric acid crystals
(available from most pharmacies) as
follows.
1
Fill the kettle, boil, then unplug the kettle
and stand it in an empty sink or bowl.
2
Add 15gm of citric acid crystals to the
water gradually, then leave the kettle to
stand. Do not use a more concentrated
solution.
3
As soon as the effervescence subsides,
empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly
with cold water.
4
Wipe the outside of the kettle thoroughly
with a damp cloth to remove all traces of
acid which may damage the finish.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the electrical
connections are completely dry before
using the kettle.
