3. Instructions for use
3.1. Before use:
3.1.1. Remove the appliance’s protective film (if ap-
plicable).
3.1.2. Before using the product for the first time, clean
the parts that will come into contact with water in the
manner described in the cleaning section.
3.2. Use and care:
3.2.1. Open the lid of the kettle; fill with tap water to
the desired level(bearing the MIN and MAX marks
inside the kettle in mind). In hard water areas, using
purified or filtered water is recommended to reduce
the amount of scale build up in the kettle. (Note: You
may also fill through the spout, but be careful not to
overfill).
3.2.2. Close the lid until it clips. Place the kettle on
the base and plug into the mains.
3.2.3. To switch on the kettle, press the On/Off switch
to position 1. (CAUTION: Do not place excessive
pressure on the switch). When the water has boiled
the kettle will automatically switch off. However, you
can stop the kettle at any time by pressing the On/Off
switch to position 0.
3.2.4. Pour slowly and carefully. If you wish to re-boil,
please allow a minute for the kettle to cool down.
3.2.5. Warning: If the kettle has just boiled it will be
full of steam that will escape if the lid is opened.
3.2.6. IMPORTANT: Do not open the lid when steam
is coming out of the spout. Before pouring or filling
always remember to disconnect from the electricity.
3.2.7. Note: If the kettle is switched on when empty
or with insufficient water, then the kettle will switch
off automatically to protect against dry boiling. Wait
±15minutes until the heating element cools down,
refill with tap water and use as normal. This protec-
tion function is not designed for regular use, as it will
shorten the life of the element. If the kettle is over-
filled, boiling water may be ejected. The kettle is only
to be used with the stand provided (cordless models
only). The appliance must not be immersed in liquid
during cleaning. If the supply cord is damaged the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly quali-
fied person must replace it in order to avoid a hazard.
4. Cleaning and Maintenance
4.1.1. DESCALING: Always ensure that the kettle
is disconnected from the mains before descaling.
Scaling or furring is a common problem in hard water
areas.
4.1.2. Fill the kettle to MAX position and boil the wa-
ter. Remove the kettle from the power socket and the
base unit and place it in an empty sink or bowl.
4.1.3. Add 50 grams of Citric Acid (available from
chemists) or other descaling products (available at
supermarkets) to the water or as directed.
4.1.4. Leave it to stand for approximately 5 minutes or
until the effervescence subsides, and then empty the
water. Rinse thoroughly, and wipe.
5. Anomalies and repair
5.1. Take the appliance to an authorized support
center if product is damaged or other problems arise.
5.2. If the connection to the mains has been dam-
aged, it must be replaced and you should proceed as
you would in the case of damage.
6. Additional warnings for kettles
6.1. The kettle and base (where applicable) must not
be operated with any other models of kettle.
6.2. The kettle is fitted with a dry-operation cut out
that switches off the kettle if it has boiled dry. If this
happens allow the kettle to cool down for approxi-
mately 15 minutes, then fill the kettle with cold water.
This will reset the cutout so that the kettle can be
used again.
6.3. Do not overfill. Check the water level gauge
when filling.
6.4. Ensure the lid is closed properly before closed,
to prevent water splashing out when boiling. Do not
open the lid when boiling.
6.5. After the kettle has boiled it may need a minute to
cool down before restarting.
6.6. Take care when pouring. Pour slowly and do not
over-tilt.
6.7. Make sure the kettle is always used on a flat
surface.
6.8. Water will remain hot for considerable time after
boiling and will present a scalding hazard. Take care
and keep away from children.
6.9. The outside surface of the kettle will become hot
during use. To avoid injuries only hold the handle.
6.10. Take care to avoid contact with the steam com-
ing from the lid or spout.
