Congratulations on the purchase of your Russell Hobbs appliance. Each unit is manufactured to
ensure safety and reliability. Before using the appliance for the first time, please read the instruction
booklet carefully and keep it for future reference. Pass it on if you pass on the appliance.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Fill the kettle with water to the ‘max’ level, boil, discard the water, and then rinse. Do this three
times, to remove any dust, residues, etc., from the kettle.
• Ensure the filter is in place; otherwise the kettle may not switch off and may spit water from
the spout.
POSITIONING
• Place the power base on a stable, level surface.
• Route the cable so it does not overhang, and cannot be caught or tripped over.
• Wind excess cable beneath the power base.
FILLING
CAUTION: Keep clear, steam may escape from the lid.
• Remove the kettle from the stand.
• Press the lid release button to open the lid.
• Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not above max – if you overfill, the kettle may spit.
• Press the lid down to close it.
• Check the lid is closed, or the kettle won’t switch off when it boils.
