Keeping the cable tidy
Extend the mains cable in the kettle
stand to the required length. Locate the
mains cable in one of the slots in the
stand. For safety it is recommended that
the length of exposed mains cable is
kept as short as possible. Place the
kettle stand on a firm level surface and
plug in the mains plug at a standard
mains socket (240 Volt 13 Amp rated).
Caution. This kettle must only be used
with the stand provided.
Before using your kettle for the First Time
Clean your kettle by boiling a full kettle of water twice and then discarding the
water.
Filling the kettle
Slide the switch to open the lid and fill
the kettle with the required amount of
water. Do not exceed the maximum fill
level (Max 1.7L) and not less than the
minimum fill level (Min 0.5L) as indicated
outside the kettle.
Caution. If the kettle is overfilled,
boiling water may be ejected from the
spout and cause scalding.
Switching on
Place the kettle on the stand and press
the power switch to the ON position
(indicated by the symbol ‘I’). The
indicator on the side of the kettle will light
up to indicate that the kettle is heating.
Caution. Never open the lid while the
water is boiling. The steam coming out
from the kettle is very hot.
Caution. If there is insufficient water in
the kettle, the automatic safety cut-out
will operate. If this happens, allow the
kettle to cool for ten minutes before
refilling with cold water and re-boiling.
When the water has boiled
The kettle will automatically switch off
(indicated by the symbol ‘0’ ).
Caution. Ensure that the switch is not
obstructed and the lid is firmly closed.
The kettle will not turn off if the switch is
obstructed or if the lid is open.
Caution. After removing the kettle, there
may be some water on the surface of the
stand. This is condensation from the
steam that causes the kettle to
automatically switch off after boiling. This
is normal and should not be a cause for
alarm.
Cleaning the kettle
The kettle exterior should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which may damage the finish of the kettle.
Never immerse the kettle or kettle stand in water and always keep the electrical
contacts dry. Disconnect from the mains before cleaning the kettle stand.
Caution. Do not insert any foreign objects or allow any liquid to spill into the Power
Connector Hole.
Descaling the kettle
Depending on the hardness of the water
in your area, limescale may be
deposited on the heating element and
the inside of the kettle. This normal
build-up is not harmful to health but an
excessive amount of scale may affect
the performance of the kettle.
To descale, fill the kettle with distilled
water up to three-quarters of the Max
level and bring the water to boil. After
the kettle has switched off, add a
descaling solution following the
manufacturers instructions. Never
attempt to descale the kettle by
chipping or scraping with a sharp
implement.
Power Connector Hole
Cleaning the removable scale filter
To prevent loose particles of limescale being poured into your beverage, your
kettle is fitted with a scale filter. You may remove the filter and fit it back in after
cleaning.
To fit in the filter, open the lid, place the filter inside the bracket at the spout,
locate the 3 slots shown by the arrows above and push it down till it fits in
place.
To remove the filter, open the lid, lift up the filter from the bracket at the spout.
