Operating Instructions
Before First Use
Remove any packaging material and
promotional labels before using the
kettle for the first time.
It is recommended before the first
use to fill the kettle to the maximum
level with cold tap water, bring to the
boil and then discard the water. Your
kettle will only operate when the ON/
OFF switch in the ‘ON’ position. The
kettle will automatically switch off
once the water has boiled.
Operation Of Your Kettle
1. To fill the kettle with water, remove
the removable power cord and
open the lid by pressing the button
on the lid of the kettle and lifting
it upwards. Fill with the desired
amount of water. Do not operate
the kettle without water. Always fill
the kettle between the minimum
and the maximum marks on the
water window. Too little water will
result in the kettle switching off.
2. Ensure that the lid is closed and
locked firmly into place before
plugging in the removable
power cord.
3. Plug the kettle firmly onto the
removable power cord. Plug the
power cord into a 230V or 240V
power outlet and switch ‘ON’.
4. Press the ON/OFF switch to the
‘ON’ position. The power ‘ON’ light
will illuminate.
NOTE: Never operate the kettle
dry - too little water will result in the
kettle switching ‘OFF’.
Do not overfill the kettle - filling
above the maximum mark on the
water window may result in boiling
water splashing from the kettle.
NOTE: This kettle must only be
used with the removable power
cord supplied. Use caution
when pouring water from your
kettle, as boiling water will
scald. Do not pour the water
too quickly.
NOTE: Do not remove the kettle
from the removable power
cord during operation. Ensure
the kettle has switched to the
‘OFF’ position after the water
has boiled before removing the
removable power cord.
5. The kettle will automatically switch
‘OFF’ once the water has boiled.
Remove the removable power
cord from the kettle and pour the
water. Take care to hold the kettle
level, especially when filled to the
maximum level. To re-boil it may be
necessary to wait for a few seconds
to allow the control to reset.
The kettle should be stored away when
not in use. The power outlet should
be switched off and the removable
power cord unplugged from the
power outlet when not in use.

Operating Instructions continued
Safety Boil Dry Protection
The kettle is fitted with a safety
device, which protects against
overheating should the appliance be
operated with insufficient water. If this
occurs the kettle will stop heating and
automatically switch ‘OFF’.
Should this occur, switch off at the
power outlet and unplug. Allow
the kettle to cool before refilling.
When the kettle has cooled down,
the safety device can be reset by
removing the removable power cord
and then re-plugging the removable
power cord into the kettle.

Care Cleaning and Storage
Always switch off at the power outlet,
and then unplug the appliance from
the power outlet before cleaning.
Cleaning The Kettle Exterior
The outside surface of the kettle may
be wiped over with a damp cloth and
polished with a soft, clean dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not use chemical,
steel wool, or abrasive cleaners
to clean the inside or outside of
the kettle.
CAUTION: To prevent
damage to the
appliance do not
use alkaline cleaning
agents when cleaning,
use a soft cloth and
mild detergents.
WARNING: Never
immerse the kettle,
switch area, or
removable power
cord in water, or allow
moisture to come in
contact with these parts.
Cleaning The
Removable Filter
The kettle features a removable mesh
filter to filter out scale deposits for
cleaner water. To remove the scale
deposits, remove the filter by opening
the lid of the kettle. Pull the filter firmly
to remove.
The filter can be cleaned by running
under hot water and rubbing with a
soft cleaning cloth or brush. To replace
the filter, simply press the filter down
firmly into the slot behind the spout of
the kettle.
NOTE: The filter could become
damaged with time, please
check regularly and replace if
found damaged.
NOTE: Ensure the kettle and
water have cooled down before
attempting to clean the filter.
Mineral deposits and
Discolouration
Due to the large surface area of the
immersed element (interior base),
discolouration due to mineral deposits
from tap water may appear more
obvious by leaving a brown stain on
the base. THIS IS NOT RUST.
To remove the discolouration,
follow the instructions “Removing
mineral deposits”.
KAK35_IB_D11_FA.indd 9 17/08/11 4:49 PM

10
Removing Mineral Deposits
Mineral deposits in tap water may
cause the kettle interior and water
window to discolour over time.
This may be removed by using a
proprietary kettle descaler which
is available from most leading
supermarkets, department stores and
hardware stores.
Alternatively:
1. Fill the kettle until 2⁄3 full with 1 part
vinegar (or a few slices of lemon)
and 2 parts water, bring to the boil
and allow to stand overnight.
2. Empty the solution from the kettle.
Fill the kettle with clean water,
bring to boil and discard the water.
Repeat and the kettle will be ready
for use.
Storage
Ensure the kettle is switched off,
cleaned and dried before storing.
Ensure that the lid is closed and
locked firmly into place. Do not store
anything on top.
