SWITCHING OFF
•
When the water has boiled, the kettle will switch off automatically. You can stop
the boiling process at any time by lifting the on/off switch to the “0” (off) position.
GENERAL
•
Always remove the kettle from the base before pouring.
•
To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.
•
Do not tilt the kettle backwards - water might get on to the control area. If this
happens, let the kettle dry thoroughly before use – place it somewhere warm for
12 hours.
•
When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the base. Do not worry – it’s
the steam used to switch the kettle off automatically, which then condenses and
escapes via vents under the kettle.
•
You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, do not worry –
it is due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.
