–Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children or not
familiar persons.
–Never touch the appliance with damp or
wet hands. Do not touch the mains cable
or plug with wet hands.
–Do not touch any hot surfaces. Only use
the handle to pick up the kettle.
–The use of any accessory attachment,
not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer, may result in fire, electric
shock or injury to persons.
–Never fill the kettle with water when it is
positioned on the base unit.
–Never fill the kettle above the «MAX»
mark.
–Scalding may occur if the lid is removed
during the

IBIS
water slowly and carefully, taking care not
to tilt the spout too rapidly.
–To prevent scalding, avoid coming into
contact with the steam escaping from the
opening in the lid when the water is being
boiled or just after the kettle has switched
off. Be careful when opening the lid, if the
kettle is still hot and you wish to refill it
with water.
–Boiling water can cause burns.
–Move the appliance with extreme care
when it contains hot water.
–Do not forcefully locate the switch in
the ON position, or make any authorised
changes to the switch in order to make
it stay in the ON position. This could
lead to steam escaping from around the
lid, damaging the automatic switch-off
mechanism and possibly causing bodily
injury.
–Never immerse the item in water,
remember this is an electrical appliance.
–Only clean the appliance using a damp
cloth.
–To disconnect, turn any control to «off»
then remove plug from wall outlet.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE
5
–Always unplug the appliance by holding
the plug, not the cord.
–Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter, or touch hot surfaces.
–Unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet when the kettle is not in use and
before cleaning. Allow the kettle to cool
before cleaning it.

service workshop authorised by the
manufacturer.
–To protect against fire, electric shock and
injury to persons do not immerse cord,
plug, kettle container and power base in
water or other liquid.
–Do not operate the kettle on an inclined

dry. Keep the appliance and its mains cable out of reach
of children.
–During use, do not place the base unit on a metal tray or
a metal surface.
–Ensure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate of
the appliance agrees with the mains voltage in your area.
Connect the appliance only to a properly earthed power
point. (Use of a residual current device (RCD) reduces the
risk of electric shock, seek the advice of an electrician.)
While the appliance is in use, the mains plug must be
accessible in case of an emergency. To ensure continued
protection against risk of electric shock, connect to
properly grounded outlets only
–If the power point is unsuitable for accommodating the
plug of your appliance, have the power point changed by
a licensed electrician.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
POWER-SUPPLY CORD
–A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
–Extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
–If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating
of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance, if the appliance is of the
grounded type, the extension cord should be grounding
-type 3-wire cord. The longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter top or table top
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
SWITCHING OFF THE KETTLE MANUALLY
The ON/OFF switch (3) can also be used to switch off the
kettle before the water boils.
SAFETY CUT-OFF
The kettle is protected against damage resulting from use
with an insufficient volume of water. A safety cut-off will
automatically disconnect the power supply if the heating
element overheats.
Should the kettle ever boil dry during operation, you must
leave it to cool for 10 minutes before re-filling it with cold
water. The safety cut-off will reset automatically once it has
cooled.
BEFORE USING THE KETTLE
Clean the kettle before using it for the first time by filling
it completely (to the MAX mark) with water, boiling the
water, and then discarding the water.
HOW TO USE THE WATER KETTLE
FILLING THE WATER KETTLE

INSTRUCTION FOR USE
9
– Remove the appliance body from the base unit (4).
–Open the lid (1), fill with water and close the lid again.
Do not fill the kettle with less than 0,25l/17oz and not more
than 1,7l/57oz (above the MAX mark), to prevent the kettle
from boiling dry or boiling water escaping from the spout.
CONNECTION TO POWER SUPPLY
– After filling the kettle, position it on the base unit (4).
Ensure that the kettle body is seated correctly on the
contact unit on the base unit (4).
– Connect the mains plug to the power supply and press
down the ON/OFF switch (3).
Note: Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is able to move freely.
SWITCHING OFF
– Your kettle has an automatic ON/OFF switch and will
switch itself off automatically as soon as the water boils.
– You can switch off the kettle at any time by raising the
ON/OFF switch (3).
Note: The kettle cannot be switched off by hand if the
switch is not free to move, or if the ON/OFF switch is pressed
down.
POURING OUT WATER
–To remove the kettle from the base unit (4), hold it by its
handle. Ensure that the kettle body remains level while
lifting it from the base unit (4).
–Pour the water from the spout with the lid (1) closed.
Note: Please take care when pouring out water as boiling
water can cause scalds.
SWITCHING THE KETTLE ON AGAIN
– If the kettle was switched off by hand, it can be switched
on again at any time.
– You may switch the kettle on again as soon as the built-
in thermal safety cut-off switch has had sufficient time
to cool.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
SCALE FILTER
Scale, or calcium, is a natural substance that forms when
hard water is boiled. The filter serves to retain the calcium
in the water kettle.
CLEANING AND REMOVAL OF THE FILTER
It is important to clean the filter regularly. The filter clips
into the lid and can be removed by pulling it downwards
from the lid. It can be cleaned by gentle brushing with a soft
brush under running water.
KETTLE CLEAN AND DECALE
Remove scale using either a proprietary de-scaling product
suitable for plastic kettles (following the instructions
carefully), or citrid acid.
We recommend using citric acid as follows:
Boil 1 litre of water, then unplug the kettle and stand it
in an empty sink or bowl. Add 50gm of citric acid crystals
gradually, then leave the kettle to stand.
As soon as the effervescence subsides, empty the kettle and
rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Wipe the outside of the
kettle thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove all traces of
citric acid which may damage the finish.
Do not use a more concentrated solution. Ensure that the
electrical connections are completely dry before using the
kettle. Citric acid crystals are available at most chemists.
– Failure to de-scale may invalidate the guarantee.
–Never use chemicals, steel wool or abrasive agents to
clean the exterior of the kettle.
– Only clean the appliance using a damp cloth.
–Never immerse the item in water: remember this is an
electrical applicant.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE

STORAGE
–Excessive cord length can be stored on the cord retainer
(5) in the base unit (4).
Note: Ensure that the mains power supply is switched off
when you are not using the kettle.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
