Instructions and Guarantee
Read the instructions before using your Russell Hobbs Whisper Quiet™ Kettle and keep them in a safe
place for future reference. If you pass the kettle on to anyone else, pass on the instructions too.
Remove all packaging before using the kettle, but keep the packaging until you are satisfied that the kettle
is operating correctly. You may find a label on the outside of the product, listing its features.
This must be removed before usage.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1. To protect against electrical hazards do not immerse the mains lead, plug, power base, or kettle in water
or any other liquid. Do not use in bathroom or near any source of water. Do not use outdoors.
2. Don’t touch hot surfaces. Use the handle and lid knob.
3. Take care when pouring – pour slowly, and don’t over-tilt the kettle. Water can
remain hot for a considerable time after boiling and can present a scald hazard.
4. The scald hazard lasts long after boiling. Keep the kettle, stand, and cable away
from the edges of worktops and out of reach of children.
5. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless
they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they
can use the appliance safely.
6. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they don’t play with the appliance.
7. Don’t fill past max, or it may spit boiling water.
8. Check if the kettle is properly located on the stand before switching on.
9. Use the kettle only with the stand supplied (and vice versa).
10. Check if the lid is fully closed before switching the kettle on, otherwise it may not switch off.
11. Don’t switch on unless the kettle contains at least 2 cups of water.
12. Don’t open the lid while the water is boiling.
13. Make sure the kettle is switched off before removing it from its stand & before filling or pouring.
14. Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
15. Wind excess cable beneath the stand.
16. Unplug the stand when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let the kettle cool down before
cleaning and storing away.
17. The kettle must not be immersed in water for cleaning.
18. Keep the kettle, stand, cable, and plug away from sources of heat.
19. Don’t use the kettle for any purpose other than heating water.
20. This appliance must not be operated by an external timer or remote control system.
21. Don’t use the kettle if it’s damaged or malfunctions. If the cable is damaged, the kettle must be returned,
in order to avoid hazard. Contact Customer Service (see back page for details).
Household use only
Before use
Remove all packaging from the kettle and its power base. Before using the kettle for the first time, or if it
has been out of use for a long time, fill to the max mark and boil, then discard the boiled water and rinse the
kettle out with cold water.
HOW TO USE
Positioning
Position the power base as close to a wall socket as possible. Route the mains lead so that it does not
overhang the work surface, and cannot be caught accidentally. Shorten the mains lead by winding it round
the cord storage area under the power base, and bring it out of the cord exit cut into the base.
Filling
Warning: Keep clear, steam may escape from the lid if the kettle has just boiled. Remove the kettle from
the stand. If the switch has been pushed down inadvertently it will spring up to the “OFF” position. Grip the
handle in one hand, grip the lid knob in the other, and pull the lid off. Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but
not above max. If you overfill, the kettle may spit boiling water. Replace the lid, and press down to secure it.
Check the lid is closed, or the kettle won’t switch off when it boils.
