BOIL DRY PROTECTION
A safety shut-off device will automatically activate if the kettle is accidentally switched on without
any water, or without sufficient water to cover the element, or by allowing to boil dry. Should the
shut-off device be activated, allow your kettle to cool down for a few minutes before refilling to
allow this device to reset. This safety protection is applicable to all models.
CARE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning, unplug your kettle and let it cool down.
1. The outside: Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry.
-
Do not use abrasives
– it will scratch the plastic surfaces.
-
Do not use scouring powder or any other cleaning products as it may discolour your
kettle.
2. The inside: Wipe with sodium bicarbonate on a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly. Even though
your kettle comes with a filter, you still need to clean the inside (and the filter) regularly.
3. The filter: Either rinse under the tap or use a soft brush (or clean with kettle when descaling the
appliance). Rinse thoroughly.
4. In hard water areas it is necessary to remove scale and water deposit markings in the kettle as
this can cause premature activation of the boil dry switch. Various kettle cleaners/kettle
descalers which remove scale and markings are available from supermarkets, pharmacies and
other stores.
DESCALING
1. When limescale builds up on the heating element, buy a suitable descaler and descale your
kettle.
2. Limescale extends the time it takes for your kettle to boil and can cause the element to burn out.
After descaling, boil several times with fresh water and discard water. Remove any descaler
from the kettle as it can damage components.
3. Some regions of the country have chalky water which causes boiled water to look cloudy and
leave a deposit on the outside of the kettle. This is normal and can be removed with regular
cleaning.
4. The warranty will not cover a kettle that is damaged due to not descaling.
5. Discolouration of the inside of the kettle due to water conditions in your area will not be
regarded as a malfunction.
6.
It is recommended that you clean your kettle regularly.
