USE
Before use
- Remove all packaging from the kettle and power base.
- 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”.

10
- Fill the kettle and boil.
- The boiled water should be discarded and the kettle
rinsed out with cold water. This procedure should be
carried out 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 leave loose cord
hanging over the edge of
work surfaces.
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 litre 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.
Switching on
- Plug the power base into the mains socket.
- 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 will switch o ).
- 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.
SAFETY DEVICES
1) Automatic ON/OFF switch:
Your kettle is tted with an ON/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

appliance from the mains before cleaning.
- Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.
- Use a soft dampened cloth to wipe the outside of the
kettle and dry with a soft, dry cloth.
- DO NOT use metal polish or harsh scouring agents.
- Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry.
Scale
Scale is mainly calcium carbonate (chalk), a harmless,
naturally occurring mineral found in most water supplies.
“Hard”water contains more of this mineral than“soft”water.
When the water is heated, the minerals in the water solidify,
making the water appear cloudy.
These minerals form a thin lm on the walls, element and
on the surface of the water.
The water may look like it has white coloured pieces
of plastic oating on the surface. On traditional kettle
elements, scale forms a hard white “crust” which adversely
aects performance and reduces the life of the element.
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, simply rinse the kettle and wipe it out.
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.
The frequency with which you will need to clean any scale
deposits from your lter will depend on the hardness
of water in your area and how often you use the kettle.
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.
- 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).
- Replace the lter (g. 3).
To clean the scale lter
It is vital to clean and descale regularly in order to maintain
good working order.
- Use descaler for kettles.
When limescale starts forming on the heating element,
buy a suitable descaler and descale according to the
instructions given on the descaler pack.
After descaling, boil the kettle repeatedly with fresh
water and rinse thoroughly to completely eliminate
all residues of descaler which could damage the
appliance.
If the lter requires descaling, remove and immerse in
the same descaling solution.
- Make sure electric parts are completely dry before
using the kettle.
