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 base on a stable, level surface.
•
Route the cord so it does not overhang, and cannot be caught or tripped over.
•
Wind excess cord beneath the base.
FILLING
Caution: If the kettle has just boiled it will be full of steam. Keep hands clear as steam will
escape from the kettle when opening the lid.
•
Remove the kettle from the base.
•
Press the lid lock button to open the lid.
•
Fill the kettle with at least 2 cups of water.
•
Do not fill above the ‘max’ line. If overfilled, the kettle may spit boiling water.
•
Close the lid, and press down to lock it.
•
Check the lid is fully closed or the kettle may not switch off when it boils.
