USING THE KETTLE FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Remove all the packaging from the kettle and its power base.
2. Before first use, fill the kettle to MAX, boil, discard the water, and then rinse the inside
of the kettle. Do this three times to clean thoroughly, allow the kettle to cool.
3. Position the kettle as close to the wall socket as possible. Wind any excess cord around
the cord storage area underneath the power base. Guide the cord length you require
through the gap in the base.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Plug the base into the socket and switch on. Take the kettle
off the base, press the lid switch, open the lid and fill the
kettle through the lid opening (not the spout).
2. The kettle must be filled to at least the MIN level (0.5 litres)
of water.
3. Do not fill beyond the MAX level (1.7 litres) or the kettle
may spit boiling water.
4. Press the ON/OFF switch down, the kettle will illuminate to
show your water is heating.
5. When the kettle has boiled, the switch will click up and the light will switch off.
6. If the kettle is lifted from the base while operating, it will automatically switch off.
WARNING: The kettle will be hot to touch when it is heating and for some time
after it is has boiled. Avoid touching surfaces other than the handle, and use lid
switch to open. Steam will escape as soon as the lid is opened.
BOIL-DRY SAFETY PROTECTION: The heating element in your kettle is protected
against damage by a safety cut-out device which will automatically switch the kettle off
in approx. 20 seconds, if it is accidently switched on and allowed to boil with little or no
water. If this occurs, disconnect the kettle from the mains supply and allow the kettle to
cool before filling with cold water. The kettle may then be operated normally.

• Only heat the amount of water you need to use.
• Clean and descale regularly even in soft water areas.
MINIMISING SCALE
• Empty the kettle after each use; do not allow water to stand in the kettle overnight.

CARE AND CLEANING
• Unplug the kettle, take it off the base and allow it to cool completely before cleaning
and storing.
• Periodically check all parts before use.
• Never immerse the kettle, base or cable in water or any other liquid.
• Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp soft cloth. You may use a little mild
detergent, but if you do, rinse well with clean water to avoid tainting when the kettle
is next used.
• Don’t use harsh or abrasive, or alkaline cleaning agents or solvents.
• Ensure that connectors and sockets are kept dry.
• Store the kettle with the power cable loosely coiled or stored in the base. Never wrap it
tightly around the base or kettle.
WATER FILTER
The internal filter inside the spout can be pulled out to allow it to be cleaned.
WARNING: Do not operate the kettle without the water filter.
• Make sure your hands are clean.
• Ensure the kettle has cooled completely, and remove the kettle from the power base.
• Open the lid. Gently hold the internal filter inside the spout and lift up and out of the
kettle.
• Re-insert the filter by sliding it back into the two
grooves on either side of the spout until it clicks
back into place.

DESCALING
• Limescale may be white, coloured, even rusty-looking, but it’s normally visible on the
floor of the kettle. Phosphate scale isn’t generally visible, but it’s there, even in soft
water areas.
• All scale causes overheating and reduces the kettle’s life.
• Even with soft water, descale regularly, to help keep your kettle in working order. Use a
descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts).
• When descaling has finished, rinse and boil the kettle several times and discard
the water.
