USE
Before use
- Remove all packaging from the kettle and power base.
- Do not let children play with them to avoid suocation hazard.
- Remove any labels from the outer stainless steel surfaces.
- Remove the lter (g. 1) and wash with water (g. 2). Refer to
“Removing the scale lter”.
- Fill the kettle to‘MAX’level and boil.
- The boiled water should be discarded and the kettle rinsed
out with cold water. Repeat the boil and rinse steps for at least
three times to remove any manufacturing dust, etc.
- After the kettle has been rinsed out, re-t the lter (g. 3).
In use
With the specially designed power base and central connector, you
can now set the kettle on the base at any angle, from any position.
- Release cord from storage base and adjust length by winding
around the base to give the correct cord length to reach the
plug socket to be used (g. 4).
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces (for example the top B).
Filling
- Remove the kettle from the base unit before lling.
- Open lid and ll kettle to desired level.
Do not ll with less than 0.3 litres of water to prevent
the kettle running dry while operating; misuse of this kind
will shorten the life of the element. Do not ll with more
than 1.7 litres of water (up to the MAX level). If the kettle
is overlled, there is a risk that boiling water may be
ejected causing burns.

- Place kettle on power base.
- Press the ON/OFF switch down (g. 5) to switch the kettle on.
- The pilot light will switch on.
- The kettle will automatically switch o once the water is
boiled (the ON/OFF switch will click upwards and the lights

- To turn the kettle o before the water boils, you may move the
ON/OFF switch up to the OFF position, or simply lift the kettle
from its base it will switch o and the switch will return to the
OFF position automatically.
Pouring
- Remove the kettle from the power base and carefully pour out
the water. Do not tilt the kettle suddenly or pour water out at
too sharp an angle.
- When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see moisture
on the top surface of the base. Condensation on the base is
perfectly normal, and should not be a cause for alarm.
Please note: Empty the kettle after each use. Rinse the
kettle with fresh water if you have not used for more than two days.
To reduce energy consumption and waste of water, use only the
amount of water you need.
SAFETY DEVICES
1) Automatic ON/OFF switch:
Your kettle is ttedwithanON/OFF switch which automatically
switches o once the water has boiled. If the kettle has just
boiled, wait a minute or so before re-boiling the kettle. Do not
attempt to hold the ON/OFF switch in the on position or adjust
the switch mechanism.
2) Safety cut-out:
If the kettle is switched ON with too little or no water, it is
protected against damage by a safety cut-out which will
switch o the power. If this cut-out operates, disconnect the
kettle from the mains supply and leave to cool down before
relling with cold water (otherwise the element could be
damaged).
3) If kettle is lifted from base while operating (ON), it will
automatically switch o.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the kettle
- Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the
appliance from the mains before cleaning.
- Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.
- To maintain the precious nish of the appliance, we
recommend cleaning the outside of the appliance with a
damp cloth and water only.
- DO NOT use metal polish, ammable liquids or harsh scouring
agents.
- Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry.
Scale
When the water is heated, the minerals in the water solidify, making
the water appear cloudy. As soon as you notice a lm forming on
the water, or, when cleaning the lter, if you notice a lm on the
walls or the element, descale the kettle and its lter.
Scale lter
Your kettle is tted with a scale lter to prevent loose particles of
scale being poured into your beverage.This lter is both removable
and washable. You should remove and clean the water lter when
you notice any deposits being left on the lter or if the pouring
eciency is impaired.
Removing the scale lter
- Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the
appliance from the mains electrical supply. Make sure that
your hands are clean and free from soap, cream or anything
which might taint the water.
- Empty the kettle and remove the lter as shown in g. 1.
Rinse under a tap whilst brushing with a soft brush (g. 2) and
replace the lter (g. 3). Filter may pose suocation risk,
do not let it unattended after cleaning.
To clean the kettle and the scale lter
It is vital to clean and descale regularly in order to maintain good
working order. Excessive scale build-up may aect the performance
of the product and shall be avoided.
- Use descaler for kettles (tip: use citric-acid based descaling
solutions). When limescale starts forming on the heating
element, buy a suitable descaler for kettles and descale
according to the instructions given on the descaler pack.
- After descaling, boil repeatedly with fresh water and rinse
thoroughly to completely eliminate all residues of descaler
which could damage the appliance. Repeat the boil and rinse
steps for at least three times.
- If the lter requires descaling, remove and immerse in the
same descaling solution.
- Make sure electric parts are completely dry before using the
kettle.
