BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any packaging and promotional material from
your kettle and position it on a stable, secure, dry and
level work surface away from the edge.
Before connecting to a power source, make sure your
mains supply voltage is the same as the one indicated on
the appliance. Connect the plug to a suitable power outlet
and make sure that the power cord does not overhang
the work surface. Excess power cord can be stored in the
power base.
Remove the kettle from the power base. Fill it to the
maximum mark.
Place the kettle back onto the power base. Switch the
kettle on, allow it to boil then discard the water. Repeat
twice. This will remove any residue left over from the
manufacturing process.
USING YOUR KETTLE
1. Remove the kettle from the power base and fill it with
water either through the spout or through the opened
lid. Don’t overfill the kettle and always ensure that
there is sufficient water in the kettle (approx. 250ml)
for it to operate correctly.
2. Check the level with the kettle on its power base.
3. Close the lid and then switch the kettle on by moving
the switch to the down position. Make sure that the lid
is closed correctly to ensure safe operation.
4. When the water reaches boiling point, the kettle will
switch off automatically.
5. You may also switch the kettle off manually at any
time by moving the switch to the up
position.
Always use caution when carrying the kettle when it is full
of boiling water and when pouring it.
