Tips for Using Your Cord-Free Kettle
The cord-free kettle has the power supply connected to the
Power Base only. This eliminates the need to plug and unplug
the cord from the electrical outlet. However, it is always a good
safety practice to unplug the Power Base when not in use.
For general operation, see “Using Your Automatic Kettle.”
•
After filling the kettle with water, place on the Power Base
so that it is correctly engaged.
•
After use, the kettle may be left on the base, but unplug
the cord from the wall power socket.
•
Do not attempt to connect any other appliance to the base
unit, or tamper with the connector in any way. Special
interlocked shutters are designed to prevent access to the
live pins until the kettle is attached to the base unit.
If Your Kettle Boils Dry
The kettle element is protected by an automatic safety device.
If the kettle is accidentally switched on without water, or is
allowed to boil dry, the kettle will automatically repeat a cycle
of switching off, cooling down, and switching back on.
If this happens, you should:
1.
Unplug the kettle.
2.
Wait about 20 minutes for the element to cool down and
then use as normal and check that the kettle functions
correctly.
The kettle has a further protection incorporated in the control
which will operate in the unlikely event of the boil dry thermo-
stat failing. Should this operate, the kettle is only serviceable
by an authorized service agent.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE KETTLE YOURSELF.
Using the 1 L Automatic Kettle
Before First Use:
Fill the kettle to maximum capacity and
bring to a boil, allowing water to boil for 5 minutes. Discard
water and repeat the process. Rinse out the kettle 2 or 3
times.
IMPORTANT:
For increased efficiency and longer life the kettle
must be kept clean of mineral deposits. We recommend that
you empty the kettle after each use to prevent mineral deposits.
Filling Your Kettle
1.
With the kettle unplugged and lid open, hold by the handle
and fill with water through the spout. Never overfill as this
can cause spitting or spillage. Use the indicator line on the
water window to determine maximum fill level.
2.
Never operate the kettle when water level is below MIN
marking on water window.
NOTE:
This kettle has a built-in safety feature for
protection should the units be plugged in without an
adequate amount of water or if the kettles boil dry.

After filling kettle, plug into electrical outlet. Switch the unit
to ON (
I
