Getting the best from your
new kettle...
Safety first
Always pour water slowly and
carefully to prevent the splashing of
scalding water.
Important:
When filling from a tap, care must
be taken to avoid striking the glass
body on the tap.
Empty the water out of the
kettle after first boiling
To clean away any deposits that are
left in the kettle after the
manufacturing process
Descale as appropriate for the
hardness of the water in your
area
It is important to descale as the
performance of the kettle and auto
switch-off will be impaired
Fast boil kettles perform
differently
If your kettle is a fast boil model, it
may sound louder during boiling
and switch off suddenly with no
after noise - this is normal.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following common
sense safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of injury or
death and secondly the danger of
damage to the appliance. These are
indicated in the text by the following
two conventions:
WARNING: Danger to the
person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the
appliance!
In addition we offer the following
safety advice.
Location
•
Always locate your appliance away
from the edge of the worktop.
•
Ensure that the appliance is used on
a firm, flat surface.
•
Do not use the appliance outdoors
or near water.
•
WARNING: Do not place the
appliance onto a metal tray or
metal surface whilst in use.
Mains lead
•
Do not let the mains lead hang over
the edge of the worktop where a
child could reach it.
•
Do not let the lead run across an
open space e.g. between a low
socket and table.
•
Do not let the lead run across a
cooker or other hot area which
might damage the cable.
•
The mains lead should reach from
the socket to the base unit without
straining the connections.
Personal safety

fire, electric shock and personal
injury do not immerse cord,
plug and appliance in water or
any other liquid.

Always keep the top of the cordless
base dry, especially around the

power supply before drying. Allow
to dry thoroughly before
reconnection to the power supply.

Always pour hot water slowly and
carefully without tipping the
appliance too fast to prevent
splashing and spillage.

when moving a appliance
containing hot liquid.
