general
18 Remove the kettle from the stand before pouring.
19 To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don’t over-tilt the kettle.
20 Don’t tilt the kettle backwards – water might get on to the control area. If this
happens, let the kettle dry before use – sit it somewhere warm for 12 hours.
21 Don’t worry if you see moisture on the stand – it’s the steam used to switch off
automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents under the kettle.
22 You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, don’t worry – it’s
due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.
using with insufficient water
23 This will shorten the life of the element.
24 A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
25 To reset the boil-dry cut-out, remove the kettle from the stand, and sit it on the work
surface till it’s cold.
26 Don’t fill the kettle till it’s cold, or it may spit.
care and maintenance

0
.
28 Unplug the stand, and let the kettle cool down before cleaning.
29 Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth. You may use a little household
detergent, but if you do, rinse well to avoid tainting the water.
30 Wipe the stand with a damp cloth.
31 Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
32 Don’t put the kettle or stand in liquid.
33 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
descale regularly – even in soft water areas

Limescale
may be white, coloured, even rusty-looking, but it’s normally visible.
35
Phosphate
scale isn’t generally visible, but it’s there, even in soft water areas.
36
All scale
causes overheating, which reduces the life of the element, and may trigger
the boil-dry cut-out.
37 So, even with soft water, descale regularly, to help keep your kettle in working order.
38 Use a descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts).
39 Follow the instructions on the descaler, then rinse several times, fill, boil and discard
the water, to remove all chemical residues.
