Before first use
Remove any packaging and promotional material from your kettle and position it on a
stable, secure, dry and level work surface away from the edge.
Before connecting to a power source, make sure your mains supply voltage is the same
as the one indicated on the appliance. If this is not the case, contact your dealer and do
not use the kettle. Connect the plug to a suitable power outlet and make sure that the
power cord does not overhang the work surface. Excess power cord can be stored in the
power base.
Remove the kettle from the power base and open the lid. Fill your kettle to the maximum
mark and close the lid.
Place your kettle back onto the power base. Switch your kettle on, allow it to boil
then discard the water. Repeat twice. This will remove any residue left over from the
manufacturing process.
Using your kettle
1. To fill the kettle, remove it from the power base and lift the lid. Alternatively, the kettle
may be filled through the pouring spout.
2. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water. Always fill the kettle between the
minimum and maximum marks. Too little water will result in the kettle switching off
before the water has boiled.
CAUTION: Do not fill the kettle over the maximum level, as water may spill out of the
spout when boiling. Ensure that the lid is firmly in place before connecting the power
cord to the outlet.
3. Push the lid closed firmly until it locks into position.
CAUTION: Ensure the lid is firmly closed. The kettle will spout if the lid is left open.
NOTE: Do not pull the lid when you are pressing the lid button.
4. Place the kettle on the power base and connect the plug into a power outlet. Turn the
power ON.
5. Press the ON/OFF button downwards at the base of the kettle. The kettle will switch
off automatically once the water has boiled.
NOTE: Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is clear of obstructions and the lid is firmly
closed. The kettle will not turn off if the ON/OFF switch is constrained or if the lid
is left open. Do not remove the kettle from the power base while water is heating.
You cannot switch on the kettle immediately after a boil cycle. There is a minimum
6-second break between cycles.
6. Lift the kettle from the power base and pour the water.
WARNING: Use caution when pouring the water from your kettle, as boiling water will
scald.
7. The kettle may be stored on the power base while not in use. The kettle will not re-
boil until the ON/OFF switch is pressed downward.
NOTE: Ensure the power is turned off at the power outlet when the kettle is not
in use. Should you accidentally allow the kettle to operate without water, boil-dry
protection will automatically switch it off. If this occurs, allow the kettle to cool before
filling with cold water and re-boiling.
