OPERATING YOUR KETTLE
For first time use it is recommended that you fill the kettle to the maximum level mark with fresh tap
water, boil, and empty the kettle at least two times to clear the kettle of any dust or materials from the
manufacturing process. Do not drink this water.
1. Remove the kettle from the base to fill it. Press the “Lid Open Button” to open it. Pour water into the
kettle to the desired level, (no less than MINIMUM and no more than MAXIMUM) press the lid shut and
place the kettle back on the base unit.
CAUTION: Too little water may damage the heating element and too much water may cause water to
splatter from the kettle.
2. Connect the plug into a power outlet, turn the kettle on by pressing the “On/Off Switch”. Ensure the
kettle is positioned so the spout is facing away from you.
3. The kettle will automatically switch itself off once the water has boiled.
4. Lift the kettle from the base and pour the water into a container or cup.
5. The boiling process can be terminated at any time by lifting the kettle off the power base.
WARNING: POSITION THE LID SO THAT STEAM IS DIRECTED AWAY FROM THE HANDLE.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE LID WHILE THE WATER IS BOILING
USE ONLY THE BASE PROVIDED WITH THIS APPLIANCE
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE KETTLE ON AN INCLINED PLANE
DO NOT MOVE WHILE THE KETTLE IS SWITCHED ON

CARE AND CLEANING
1. Do not attempt to dismantle the kettle or power base. There are no user serviceable parts. For service
or repair, contact an authorised electrician.
2. To prolong the kettle’s life, please clean the mineral deposits in the kettle regularly.
3. Always unplug from the plug socket and allow to cool down before cleaning.
4. Do not immerse the power cord, kettle or power base in water.
5. Do not use chemicals, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the kettle as these will
scratch the surface and fade the outside color.
6. Periodical de-scaling is required. The interval of de-scaling depends on the hardness of water in your
area and the frequency of using the kettle.
Cleaning Method:
1. Fill the kettle with 0.5lt of white vinegar and the remainder with water and allow to stand for at least one
hour.
2. Empty the solution from the kettle. Wipe the remaining deposits with a damp cloth.
3. Fill the kettle with clean water, bring to boil and then discard the water. Repeat at least once or until no
mineral deposits are left and the kettle will be ready to use.
4. Remove the scale filter. Wash with clean water and dry thoroughly before replacing in the kettle.
