BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Fill the kettle with water to the MAX level mark on the water gauge. Boil, discard the water, and
then rinse, to remove any dust, residues, etc., from the kettle. Repeat as required.
• 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 cable so it does not overhang, and cannot be caught or tripped over.
• Wind excess cable beneath the base.
• Position your kettle to ensure the spout directs steam away from curtains, drapes and
overhead cupboards.
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 power base.
• Open the lid.
• Fill the kettle to at least the MIN level mark on the water gauge.
• Do not fill above the MAX level mark. If overfilled, boiling water may be ejected from the
spout.
• Close the lid.
• Check the lid is fully closed or the kettle may not switch off when it boils.
SWITCHING ON
Caution:
Keep clear, as steam will escape from the spout when boiling.
• Plug the power cord into the wall power outlet and switch it on.
• Place the kettle on the power base – take care not to spill any water.
• Move the switch to I.
• The light will come on. The kettle will start to heat.
SWITCHING OFF
• When the water boils, the kettle will switch itself off.
• To switch off manually, move the switch to
O
, or simply lift the kettle off the stand.
GENERAL
• Remove the kettle from the power base before pouring.
• To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.
• Do not tilt the kettle backwards as water might get into the control area.
• If this happens, empty any remaining water and allow the kettle dry before further use
– sit it somewhere warm for 12 hours.
• When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the power base. This is the steam used
to switch the kettle off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents under
the kettle. This is normal.
