SWITCHING ON
Caution: Keep clear, as steam will escape from the spout when boiling.
•
Plug the power cord into the wall power outlet and switch it on.
•
Place the kettle on the base – take care not to spill any water.
•
Press the ON / OFF switch down, the light in the switch will illuminate.
•
The kettle will heat up.
SWITCHING OFF
•
When the water boils, the kettle will switch itself off and the light in the switch will go out.
•
To switch off manually, lift the ON / OFF switch or lift the kettle from the base and replace it.
The ON / OFF switch will pop up automatically.
•
Switch off the wall power outlet and remove the plug from the socket.
GENERAL
•
Remove the kettle from the base before pouring.
•
To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.
•
Do not tilt the kettle backwards as water may seep into the control area.
•
If this happens, empty any remaining water and allow the kettle to dry before further use – sit
it aside in a warm, dry location for at least 12 hours.
•
When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the base. This is the steam used to switch
the kettle off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents under the kettle.
This is normal.
USING WITH INSUFFICIENT WATER
•
Using the kettle with insufficient water will shorten the life of the element.
•
If the kettle is accidently switched on when it does not contain sufficient water, a boil-dry
cut-out will switch the kettle off.
•
Sit the kettle on a stable heat resistant surface until it has fully cooled down.
•
Do not fill the kettle with water until it is cold, or it may spit.

Check that the kettle is switched off by lifting the kettle from the base and replacing it.
