HOW TO USE
Before first use
Remove all packaging.
It is important to ensure the correct plug adaptor is used when operating
in a country not using the UK 13 Amp socket system. If in doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
Fill the kettle with water via the spout or you can also fill the kettle by lifting the
lid. Ensure the lid is firmly closed after filling.
Check that the water level is between the MIN and MAX lines on the water
gauge.
PLEASE DO NOT OVERFILL THE KETTLE PAST THE MAX
LEVEL. DOING SO POSES A SCALDING/FIRE RISK.
Place the kettle on its base, Connect the plug to the mains supply and press
the power switch down
The kettle will switch itself off once the water has boiled
If this is the first time you have used the kettle, discard the water from the
first boiling.
TIPS:
• Do not allow unused water to sit in the kettle for more than a day. This can
lead to the water tasting “tainted”.
• A “tainted” taste can be quite common with new kettles too. It is usually
caused by calcium carbonate in (hard) water interacting with the materials
in the kettle. It is not harmful and can usually be remedied as follows:
Half fill the kettle with water and boil. Once boiled, add 2 tablespoons of
bicarbonate of soda and leave to stand overnight. Discard the water then
re-boil twice to remove any bicarbonate soda residue.
