General
When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see moisture on the surface
of the base. This is the steam used to switch the kettle off automatically,
which then condenses and is allowed to escape via vents in the underside of
the kettle. This is perfectly normal, and should not be a cause for alarm.
Important: Ensure that the kettle has switched off automatically, or is
switched off manually and is disconnected, before moving it.
Remove the kettle from the stand before attempting to pour.
When filling or carrying the kettle, do not tilt it backwards, as this may allow
water to pass through the steam aperture on to the control area. Should this
occur, the kettle must be allowed to dry before use. Sit it somewhere warm
for 12 hours before re-use. To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do
not over-tilt the kettle.
Insufficient water
Do not switch the kettle on unless it contains at least two cups of water.
Misuse of this kind will shorten the life of the element and your kettle.
If the kettle is accidentally switched on when it does not contain sufficient
water, a boil-dry device will automatically switch it off. Unplug and remove
the kettle off the stand and wait until the kettle has cooled down fully before
filling, as the element will be hot and spitting may occur. If you leave it on
the stand, plugged in after a boil-dry, it will cycle on and off until the element
burns out.
