Before using your kettle.
It is recommended that you clean your
kettle before use by boiling a full kettle of
water then discarding the water.
Using your kettle
1. To fill the kettle, remove it from the power
base and fill with the desired amount of
water.
Always fill the kettle between the minimum
and maximum marks. Too little water will
result in the kettle switching off before
the water has boiled. Too much water may
cause it to spill out of the spout when
boiling.
2. Connect the plug into a 230-240 Volt AC
power outlet. Turn the power ON.
3. Position the kettle on the power base.
Press the ON/OFF button. The kettle will
switch off automatically once the water has
boiled.
NOTE:
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is
clear of obstructions. The kettle will not
turn off if the switch is constrained. Do
not remove the kettle from the power base
while in use.
4. Lift the kettle from the power base and
pour the water.
NOTE:
Use caution when pouring the water
from your kettle, as boiling water will
scald.
5. The kettle may be stored on the power
base when not in use. The kettle will not
re-boil until the ON/OFF switch is pressed
downward.
NOTE:
Ensure the power is turned OFF at
the power outlet while the kettle is not in
use.
Should you accidentally allow the kettle
to operate without water, the boil-dry
protection will automatically switch it off.
If this should occur, allow the kettle to
cool before filling with cold water and re-
boiling.
Cord Storage Facility
Excess cord can be stored by feeding the
cord into the storage cavity underneath
the power base (for KE1600 & KE1600B
only).
