Minimise Scale Build-up
•Empty the kettle after each use;
do not allow water to stand in the
kettle overnight; use filtered water
instead of tap water.
•Descale the kettle regularly, at least
once a month, using a proprietary
brand of descaler. In areas of very
hard water descaling may be
necessary more often.
•When descaling, follow the
instructions on the packet of the
descaler. When descaling has
finished, empty the kettle and rinse it
out numerous times with fresh water,
then refill with freshwater, boil,
and discard boiled water.
Water Filter
Depending upon the hardness of the
water the scale particles that remain
suspended in the water may give a
cloudy appearance. The filter fitted to
your kettle will help prevent these
particles passing into your drink. You
therefore must ensure that the filter is
kept clean and clear of deposits,
otherwise the performance of the filter
may be affected, your drinks may
contain scale and the water inside the
kettle may look cloudy.
•You should clean the filter whenever
there are any obvious deposits left
on the mesh and especially if
pouring is affected.
CARE AND CLEANING
•Switch the kettle off (lift it from the
power base), unplug the power
base from the wall socket, and let
the kettle cool down completely
before cleaning. Wipe the outside
and inside surfaces of the kettle
with a damp cloth.
•If necessary, you may use a little
household detergent. To clean the
filter, see “Water filter” below.
•If you use detergent inside the
kettle, rinse thoroughly afterwards
to remove all traces.
•Ensure that all connectors and
sockets are kept dry.
•Do not immerse the kettle or power
base in water or any other liquid.
•Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners or solvents.
Descaling
•Scale build-up will cause the
element to overheat, reducing its
working life. It may also cause the
safety cutout to operate
prematurely, switching the kettle off
before the water actually boils.
•As the kettle uses an under floor
type element, lime scale can only
build up on the walls and floor of
the kettle, this is readily seen and
should be promptly dealt with.

• Replacement fuses are available
from Dualit and should be ASTA
approved to BS 1362.

• Position the power base as close to
a wall socket as possible. Locate
the mains cable so that it does not
overhang the work surface, and
cannot be caught accidentally.
Shorten the mains lead by winding
it around the cord storage area
under the power base, and bring it
out of the cord exit in the base.
OOppeenniinnggtthheeLLiidd
• Remove the kettle from the power
base. If the switch has been
pushed down inadvertently, it will
spring up into the “off” position.
• Hold the kettle handle firmly in one
hand, hold the lid knob in the other,
and pull the lid straight up. As soon
as it separates from the kettle,
move it out of the rising steam.
FFiilllliinngg
• Open the lid and fill the kettle
via the lid aperture. Not through
the spout.
• Observe water level when filling,
you must use at least one cup of
water, but the water level must be
below the Max mark.
• Do not overfill the kettle. If the
kettle is overfilled, there is a risk
that boiling water may be ejected
from the spout and lid.
• Use the kettle only with the power
base supplied and vice versa.
• Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged lead or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner.
If the mains lead is damaged, it must
be replaced by a special cordset
available from Dualit helpline:
+ 44 (0) 1293 652 500
22BBEEFFOORREEUUSSEE
•Remove all packaging from the kettle
and its power base. Before using the
kettle for the first time, or if it has been
out of use for a long time, fill to the
max mark and boil, then discard the
boiled water and rinse the kettle out
with fresh cold water.

• Check that the voltage marked on
the appliance corresponds with the
supply voltage.
• NOTE: Any plug cut from power
supply cord should be disposed
of immediately. Inserting any cut
off plug into a 13A socket-outlet
is hazardous.3
• Never use the plug without the
fuse cover fitted. Ensure replacement
fuse is the same current value as
original.
• Remove the kettle from the power
base before attempting to pour.
• When filling or carrying the kettle,
do not tilt it backwards, as this may
allow water to pass through the
steam tube onto the control area.
Should this happen, the kettle must
be allowed to dry before reuse.
• To avoid the risk of splashing, pour
sslloowwllyyand do not over-tilt the kettle.
WWAARRNNIINNGG::IF THE KETTLE HAS

SOON AS THE LID IS OPENED.
BBooiillDDrryy
• Do not switch the kettle on unless it
contains at least one cup of water.
Misuse of this kind will shorten the
life of the kettle.
• If the kettle is accidentally switched
on when it does not contain
sufficient water, a boil-dry device
will automatically switch it off.
Wait until the kettle has cooled
down before refilling. The lid may
be hot and the water may spit as it
touches the kettle base.
• Replace the lid and ensure it is
firmly in place. Check that it is
fully closed, otherwise the kettle
may not switch off when boiling.
SSwwiittcchhiinnggOOnn
• Check that the switch is in the
“Off” position (lift the kettle
from the power base and set it
down again taking care not to
spill any water). The switch will
only operate when the kettle is
correctly fitted onto the base.
• Plug the power base into the
wall socket. If necessary, switch
on the wall socket.
• Press the switch down. The neon
light will light up and the kettle
will start to heat up.
• When the water has boiled the
kettle will automatically switch off,
the switch will return to the “Off”
position and the neon light will
go out.
