BEFORE FIRST USE
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.
Remove the kettle from the power base and open
the lid. Fill your kettle to the maximum mark and
close the lid.
Place your kettle back onto the power base. Switch
your 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 relling. Never
open the lid when the kettle is boiling.
1. With your kettle switched off, plug the power
base into a suitable power outlet.
2. Remove your kettle from the power base before
lling it with water.
3. Fill your kettle with water. You can ll it through
the spout or by opening the lid. Don’t overll
your kettle and always ensure that there is
sufcient water in your kettle for it to operate
correctly. This is approximately 250ml or 1
teacup full. Always check the water level when
your kettle is positioned on its power base.
4. If opened previously, close the lid and then
switch your kettle on. Make sure that the lid is
correctly closed to ensure safe operation.
5. When the water reaches boiling point, your
kettle will switch off automatically.
6. You may also switch your kettle off manually at
any time by moving the switch to the off position.
Always use caution when lifting or 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 it off.
• Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool. When it
has cooled down sufciently the safety device
will reset itself.
• Once the safety device has reset, rell your
kettle with cold water and use it as normal.
To ensure your kettle continues to work effectively
we recommenced descaling regularly. Scale build up
will prevent the noise reducing ring from working.
STEAM SURGE CONTROL
The Breville steam surge technology helps to stop
build up of condensation in your kitchen by reducing
the kettle steam output by up to 75%*.
When your kettle reaches temperature, it will
automatically switch off. As this technology is paired
with quiet boil we recommend using the water
window light as the indication the kettle has reached
boiling point.
QUIET BOILING
Designed to make boiling water quieter.
The stainless steel disk attached to the kettle oor
acts as a diffuser plate. It is perforated with a range
of holes which help disperse, and reduce the size
of, the water bubbles thus signicantly reducing the
noise of the boiling process.
MAINTAINING THE QUIETNESS OF YOUR
KETTLE
Regular use of the kettle can lead to the build-up of
mineral deposits which reduces the effectiveness of
the diffuser plate as well as the performance of the
kettle.
It is important to descale your kettle regularly to
prolong the life of the kettle.
Breville recommend that the kettle is descaled every
4-6 weeks.
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
efciently. Use a proprietary descaling product
following the manufacturer’s instructions
carefully.
CLEANING THE FILTER
Before removing or retting the lter, switch
off the kettle and empty it. Allow it to cool
completely, then unplug the power base from the
mains supply socket. Never operate the kettle
without the lter tted.
• 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 product. Use
a proprietary descaling product following the
manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
• The lter may be washed safely in the cutlery
rack of a dishwasher.
• Ret the lter back into your kettle.
