The exible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug
having a fuse of 13 amp capacity.Should this plug not t the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut o and replaced with
a suitable plug, following the procedure outlined below. Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should
therefore be properly disposed of, (having removed the fuse) and not left where children might nd it and plug it into a supply
socket - with the obvious consequent danger. If the plug is a moulded-on type the fuse cover must be retted. If the fuse cover is
lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained.The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of
the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement
fuse cover. N.B.We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched o when the machine is not
in use. important: the wires in the mains lead tted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter
E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely
retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only
two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualied electrician. Should the mains lead ever require replacement,
it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualied electrician and should only be replaced with a exible cord of the
same size. Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be tted.This appliance conforms to the
Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio interference.

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 device
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). It will reset automatically when cooled
down.
3) If the kettle is lifted from base while operating (ON), it
will automatically switch o.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the kettle
• Allowthekettletocooldownfullyanddisconnectthe

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 on the interior
walls of the kettle, 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,
etc or anything which might taint the water.
• Emptythekettleandremovethelid.Removethelter
by lifting up (g. 1).
• Rinseunderatapwhilebrushingwithasoftbrush(g.
2).
• Replacethelterrmlydown.
Descaling
It is vital to clean and descale the kettle and lter regularly in
order to maintain it in good working order. Failure to descale
your kettle may invalidate your guarantee.
• It is recommended to use specic (store bought)
products for descaling of kettles.
• When limescale starts to build up on the heating
element, buy a suitable descaler and descale your
kettle. After descaling, boil with fresh water several
times and discard. Clean any descaler o the kettle – it
can damage the parts.
• If the lter requires descaling,  remove the lter and
place into the kettle whilst descaling.
• Ensure that the electrical connections are completely
dry before using the kettle.
