before using for the first time
Please follow the information on the use of BRITA® lter cartridges and the BRITA® Memo
indicated in the BRITA® information guide.
1. Remove any packaging/promotional material from the kettle.
2. Always use your kettle on a dry, level, stable, secure work surface.
3. Open the lid and lift out the lter funnel. Wash it in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly then replace the lter funnel.
4. Follow the section on preparing the BRITA® MAXTRA cartridge on page 6.
5. After preparing and installing the BRITA® MAXTRA cartridge, ll, boil then discard the
water twice. This will remove any residue left over from the manufacturing process.
Your BRITA® lter kettle is now ready for use. Note that you will only need to do this
procedure once and not each time you renew the BRITA® cartridge.
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.

preparing the BRITA®MAXTRA cartridge
1. Remove the cartridge from its wrapping (it is normal
for the cartridge to appear moist during storage).
2. Immerse the cartridge in cold water and shake gently
to remove any air bubbles. There is no need to pre-
soak this cartridge before use.
3. Insert the cartridge into the lter funnel and push it
rmly into place. When correctly tted, the cartridge
should remain in place when the funnel is turned
upside-down.
4. Fill the lter funnel with cold tap water and allow it
to lter through, then discard the water. Repeat this
process, again discarding the water.
5. Rell the lter funnel with water - the BRITA®
MAXTRA cartridge is now ready for use. You do not
need to keep the lter cartridge immersed in water.
• Always make sure that you have MAXTRA spare
cartridges to hand. When buying new cartridges
look for the BRITA® MAXTRA lter on the cartridge
packaging.
• When it is time to replace the BRITA® MAXTRA lter
cartridge after 4 weeks use, simply lift the handle
on top of the cartridge and pull upwards to remove.
BRITA® cartridges are 100% recyclable. Visit
www.brita.co.uk or call the BRITA® Care team for
further information on participating retailers.
• Repeat steps 1-5 with a new cartridge.

7
using the BRITA®Memo function
It is important to change your BRITA® lter
cartridge regularly to enjoy the benets of BRITA®
ltered water. Filtering your water improves the
look and taste of hot drinks by reducing limescale
(carbonate hardness), chlorine and other
impurities.
The BRITA® Memo automatically reminds you
when your lter cartridge needs to be changed.
When you have tted and prepared your lter
cartridge, start the Memo as follows:
1. Press and hold the Start button until 4 bars
appear on the display and ash twice. The
Memo is now set.
2. The ashing dot in the corner of the display
indicates that the Memo is working.
3. Every week, one bar will disappear to indicate
the remaining cartridge life. When only one bar
is showing, check that you have a replacement
lter cartridge available.
4. After 4 weeks, all four bars will disappear and
a ashing arrow will appear to indicate that the
cartridge should be replaced.
Wash and dry the lter funnel, insert a new
cartridge and restart the Memo as described
above.
Please note that the Memo is only intended to be
used with BRITA® lter cartridges.

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 relling. Never open the lid when the kettle is boiling. The Filter
and lter funnel must be tted to the kettle in order for it to operate correctly.
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. Do not ll the kettle
through the spout.
3. Open the lid and ll the kettle with water. Don’t overll the kettle and always
ensure that there is sufcient 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. Allow a short time after lling for the water to pass
through the lter.
4. Close the lid and then switch the kettle on. Make sure that the lid is closed correctly
to ensure safe operation.
5. When the kettle is switched on, the switch and the water level window will illuminate.
6. When the water reaches boiling point, the kettle will switch off automatically. The
water level window illumination will switch off.
7. You may also switch the kettle off manually at any time by moving the switch to the
off position.
Always use caution when carrying your kettle when it is full of boiling water and when
pouring it.
Energy saving hints and tips
A Breville® kettle, if used correctly, is a very energy efcient device. Why not try some of
these energy saving tips:
• Only boil the water you need. Overlling 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.
If the kettle boils dry
If the kettle is operated with insufcient 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 sufciently
the device will reset itself.
• Once the device has reset, rell the kettle with cold water and use it as normal.

9
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.
• 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.
• Descale your kettle to keep it working efciently. Use a proprietary descaling product
following the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Please note that when using the
BRITA® lter cartridge properly and regularly, you would need to descale your kettle
less often.
• When descaling the kettle using a descaling product, you must remove the BRITA®
lter cartridge and the lter funnel. After descaling, thoroughly rinse the kettle then
ret the lter funnel and the BRITA® lter.
• Always follow the manufacturers instructions carefully when descaling the kettle.
• Each time the lter cartridge is replaced, wash the lter funnel in warm, soapy water,
rinse thoroughly and dry before preparing and tting the new lter cartridge.
