IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using this kettle, please follow these basic safety precautions.
1. Please read all instructions before using.
2. Make sure your electricity supply matches the voltage selected on the underside of the kettle.
3. This kettle is for household use only. It is not suitable for commercial use, or for use outdoors.
4. This kettle has been designed for the purpose of boiling drinking water only.
5. Place the kettle well away from the edge of your table or worktop during use. Ensure the surface is level,
clean and dry.
6. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of the table or worktop, touch any hot surfaces or become
tangled.
7. Do not place the kettle on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in or near a heated oven.
8. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the kettle, power cord or plug in water. Do not allow the
cord or plug to get wet.
9. Unplug the kettle before filling with water. Take care not to fill above the MAX level as boiling water may
splash out.
10. Plug the kettle into the mains socket before switching it on.
11. To prevent scalding, make sure the lid is securely closed and do not open the lid whilst water is boiling.
12. The kettle will get hot during use. Please do not touch the hot kettle sides, and beware of steam escaping
from the spout and when opening the lid to refill.
13. Unplug the kettle when not in use, and before cleaning. Grasp the plug, not the power cord. Let the kettle
cool down completely before cleaning or storing away.
14. The kettle is not intended for use by children or infirm people unless they have been adequately supervised
by a responsible person to ensure they can use it safely. Children should be supervised to ensure they do
not play with the kettle. It must not be left unattended during use.
15. Do not use the kettle if the power cord or plug show any signs of damage, or if the appliance is dropped,
damaged or working incorrectly. Call the helpline on 015394 88100 to arrange a repair by an authorised
repairer, or a replacement. Never try to repair the kettle yourself as this may cause electric shock.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
This travel kettle is dual voltage, for making drinks at home and abroad. Before using, please select the correct
voltage for the country you are in by turning the switch on the underside of the kettle. The kettle may be damaged
if the correct voltage is not selected.
Carefully unpack the kettle and remove any packaging. Wash the travel cups, teaspoons and storage tub in
warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Before using the kettle, fill it with fresh water, boil, then pour the water away.
Repeat two to three times, to remove any residue from the factory.

BOILING WATER
1. Ensure the kettle is unplugged, and open the lid.
2. Fill with fresh, cold water, paying attention to the MAX mark inside the kettle. Boiling water may escape
from the spout if the kettle is too full. The maximum capacity is 500ml.
3. Press down the lid – you will hear a ‘click’ when it is closed securely.
4. Plug in the kettle. Press the kettle on/off switch. The indicator light will show the kettle is working.
5. The kettle will switch off automatically when the water has boiled.
6. To re-boil, let the kettle cool down a little before pressing the on/off switch again.
7. After use, the kettle should be emptied of water. Switch off at the socket and unplug. Allow the kettle to
cool down completely before storing in its drawstring bag.
BOIL-DRY PROTECTION
If the kettle is switched on with too little or no water, it will cut out automatically to stop it boiling dry. To reset
the on/off switch, unplug the kettle and let it cool before filling with water. The kettle should now work as normal.
CARE AND CLEANING
Allow the kettle to cool completely before cleaning, and unplug from the mains socket. The outside of the kettle
may be wiped over with a damp cloth and polished with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemicals, steel wool or
abrasive cleaners on the inside or outside of the kettle. CAUTION: never immerse the kettle, cord or plug in
water or any other liquid. Do not place in the dishwasher.
RECYCLING YOUR ELECTRICALS

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
This appliance is fitted with a fused three-pin plug to BS1363 which is suitable for use in all homes fitted with
sockets to current specifications. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and
carefully disposed of. To avoid an electric shock, do not insert the discarded plug into a socket.
Fitting a new plug
If for any reason you need to fit a new plug, the flexible mains lead must be connected as shown here. The wires
in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Connect BLUE to Neutral (N)
Connect GREEN & YELLOW to Earth (E)
Connect BROWN to Live (L)
13 amp fuse to e used
If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance do 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 which is marked with the letter E (Earth) or coloured green. The wire which is
coloured blue MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N (Neutral) or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L (Live)
or coloured red.
Before refitting the plug cover, check that there are no cut or stray strands of wire inside the plug. Use a 13 amp
BS1362 fuse. Only BSI or ASTA approved fuses should be used. If you are at all unsure which plug or fuse to
use, always refer to a qualified electrician.
Note: after replacing or changing a fuse on a moulded plug which has a fuse cover, the cover must be refitted
to the plug; the appliance must not be used without a fuse cover. If lost, replacement fuse covers can be
obtained from an electrical shop. This appliance complies with the following EEC Directives: 73/23 EEC (Low
Voltage Directive) and 89/336 EEC (EMC Directive).
DESCALING
Over time, limescale in tap water can build up and clog the kettle, reducing its efficiency. We
recommend descaling the kettle regularly using a proprietary brand of descaler, following the
instructions on the packaging. The frequency will depend upon the hardness of water boiled. A soft
brush may also be used to loosen scale from inside the kettle.
