OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Position the power base on a flat, heat resistant surface, as close as possible to a
power outlet.
2. Follow cord routing in power base according to exit patterns. Proper cord routing
will result in the power base laying flat when kettle is placed in base. Do not operate
kettle if power base is not flat. If power base is not flat, remove kettle from power
base and repeat cord placement instructions.
3. To fill with water, remove lid. Fill the electric kettle with water to below the “MAX”
water level mark.
NOTE:
Do not exceed the “MAX” water level mark indicated on the electric kettle.
Place lid back in place.

The water will heat and the electric kettle will switch off automatically when the water

Ensure the ON/OFF switch is clear of obstructions and the lid is firmly closed.
The electric kettle will not turn off automatically if the ON/OFF switch is constrained,
or if the lid is left open.
5. Carefully lift the kettle from the power base and pour the hot water.
6. The kettle will not re-boil until the on/off switch is again switched ON “ ” (down). Wait
25 seconds, allowing kettle to cool down, then switch ON “ ” (down).
If the kettle is operated in accordance with instructions for use, it is unlikely that the kettle
will boil dry. However, in the event that the kettle does boil dry, it is protected by a boil dry,
fail-safe device which will switch the kettle off automatically on sensing a boil dry situation
and keep it switched off until the kettle is refilled with at least the minimum amount of
water. Always allow the kettle to cool for half an hour before reuse if the kettle has boiled dry.
FILTER INSTRUCTIONS
A mesh filter has been integrated into the kettle to reduce the amount of scale residues
entering your beverages or food. The filter is removable for cleaning. To reduce scale
build-up, empty out any residual water after boiling.
How often the filter should be cleaned will vary according to where you live and how often
you use your kettle. Filter should be cleaned whenever there are noticeable deposits left
on the filter and especially if the rate of pouring decreases.
