•
Remove the kettle from the water base.
•
Pour the water out slowly to avoid splashing. Do not open the lid while pouring out the water.
Please beware of escaping steam from the lid of the kettle when in use.
•
You may interrupt/cancel boiling at any time by simply switching OFF.
•
Important: Always switch the power outlet off before disconnecting the plug.
•
Do not use hot water to fill the kettle as this will quickly damage the interior and heating
element. Use only cold water.
BOIL DRY HEATING PROTECTION
If you have forgotten to add water or the water inside is below the minimum accepted level, the metal
sheet for dry heating protection of the temperature controller will disconnect automatically when the
kettle is switched on in order to protect the kettle from being damaged by dry heating.
If the above situation happens, please turn off the power supply, unplug the kettle and wait 10 minutes
for it to cool down. Once this is done, the temperature controller connects and the kettle will operate
normally again.
Note: Do not add cold water in the kettle in an attempt to cool it down quicker
– this will
decrease the life span of the kettle’s heating plate.
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
.
