Before using for the rst time
Remove any packaging and promotional material from your
kettle and position it on a stable, secure, dry and level work
surface away from the edge.
Before connecting to a power source, make sure your mains
supply voltage is the same as the one indicated on the
appliance. Connect the plug to a suitable power outlet and
make sure that the power cord does not overhang the work
surface. Excess power cord can be stored in the power base.
• Fill your kettle to the maximum mark and close the lid.
• Place the kettle back onto the power base. Switch the kettle
on, allow it to boil then discard the water. Repeat twice. This
will remove any residue left over from the manufacturing
process.
Using your kettle
If this kettle is lled above the maximum level mark, hot water may
be ejected from the spout during boiling. Beware of steam coming from
the spout or lid especially during relling. Never open the lid when the
kettle is boiling.
1. With the kettle switched off, plug the power base into a
suitable power outlet.
2. Remove the kettle from the power base before lling it with
water.
3. Fill the kettle with water. Don’t overll the kettle and
always ensure that there is sufcient water in the kettle
for it to operate correctly. This is approximately 250ml or 1
teacup full. Always check the water level when the kettle is
positioned on its power base.
4. Close the lid and then switch the kettle on by moving the
switch to the down position. Make sure that the lid is closed
correctly to ensure safe operation.
5. When the kettle is switched on, the on/off switch will
illuminate.
6. When the water reaches boiling point, the kettle will switch
off automatically.
7. You may also switch the kettle off manually at any time by
moving the switch to the up position.
Always use caution when carrying the kettle when it is full of
boiling water and when pouring it.
If your kettle boils dry
If the kettle is operated with insufcient water a built in fail-safe
device will automatically switch off the kettle.
• Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool. When the kettle has
cooled down sufciently the device will reset itself.

5
• Once the device has reset, rell the kettle with cold water
and use it as normal.
Energy saving hints and tips
Your kettle, if used correctly, is a very energy efcient device.
Why not try some of these energy saving tips:
• Only boil the water you need. Overlling your kettle by one
cup is the equivalent to using an energy saving light bulb
for one hour!
• It is not always necessary to re-boil your kettle. For
example, one litre of water will still be at 90°C after ve
minutes - the perfect temperature for a cup of coffee.
Care and cleaning
Always unplug the kettle from the mains supply socket and allow it
to completely cool down before cleaning or descaling it. Do not immerse
the kettle, power base or power cord and plug in water or any other
liquid.
1. Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a damp cloth
and then polish with a soft dry cloth. Do not use steel wool
pads or harsh/abrasive cleaners.
2. Descale your kettle regularly to keep it working efciently.
Use a proprietary descaling product following the
manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
Cleaning the lter
• Open the lid and remove the lter from behind the spout.
• Rinse the lter under a tap whilst brushing it with a soft
brush. In hard water areas it may be necessary to descale
the lter using a descaling agent.
• Use a proprietary descaling product following the
manufacturer’s instructions carefully. The lter may be
washed safely in the cutlery rack of a dishwasher.
• Ret the lter back into the kettle.
