3.2 Use and care:
3.2.1. Open the lid of the kettle, fill with
tap water to the desired level. In hard wa-
ter areas, using purified or filtered water
is recommended to reduce the amount
of scale build up in the kettle. (Note: You
may also fill through the spout, but be
careful not to overfill).
3.2.2. Close the lid until it clips. Place
the kettle on the base and plug into the
mains.
3.2.3. To switch on the kettle, press the
On/Off switch to position 1. (CAUTION:
Do not place downward pressure on the
switch). When the water has boiled the
kettle will automatically switch off. You can
stop the kettle at any time by pressing the
On/Off switch to position 0.
3.2.4. Pour slowly and carefully. If you
wish to re-boil, please allow a minute for
the kettle to cool down.
3.2.5 Warning: If the kettle has just boiled
it will be full of steam that will escape if the
lid is opened.
3.2.6 IMPORTANT: Do not open the lid
when steam is coming out of the spout.
Before pouring or filling always remember
to disconnect from electricity.
3.2.7 Note: If the kettle is switched on
when empty or with insufficient water, then
the kettle will switch off automatically to
protect against dry boiling. Wait ±15min-
utes until the heating element cools down,
refill with tap water and use as normal.
This protection function is not designed
for regular use, as it will shorten the life
of the element. If the kettle is overfilled,
boiling water may be ejected. The kettle
is only to be used with the stand provided
(cordless models only). The appliance
must not be immersed in liquid during
cleaning. If the supply cord is damaged,
the manufacturer or its service agent or a
similarly qualified person must replace it
in order to avoid a
hazard.
4. Cleaning and Maintenance
4.1.1. DESCALING
Always ensure that the kettle is
disconnected from the mains before
descaling. Scaling or furring is a common
problem in hard water areas.
4.1.2. Fill the kettle to MAX position and
boil the water. Remove the kettle from the
power socket and the base unit and place
it in an empty sink or bowl.
4.1.3. Add 50 grams of Citric Acid (avail-
able from chemists) or other descaler
products (available at supermarkets) to
the water or as directed.
4.1.4. Leave it to stand for approximately
5 minutes or until the effervescence sub-
sides, and then empty the water. Rinse
thoroughly, and wipe.
5. Anomalies and repair
5.1. Take the appliance to an authorised
support centre if product is damaged or
other problems arise.
5.2. If the connection to the mains has
been damaged, it must be replaced and
you should proceed as you would in the
case of damage.
6. Additional warnings for kettles
6.1. The kettle and base (where applica-
ble) must not b`e operated with any other
models of kettle.
6.1.2. The kettle is fitted with a dry-oper-
ation cutout that switches off the kettle if
it has boiled dry. If this happens allow the
kettle to cool down for approximately 15
minutes, then fill the kettle with cold water.
This will reset the cutout so that the kettle
can be used again.
6.1.3. Do not overfill. Check the water
level gauge when filling.
6.1.4. Never remove the cord from the
kettle while in operation. Switch off the ap-
pliance first.
6.1.5. Ensure the lid is closed properly
before switching on, to prevent water
splashing out when boiling. Do not open
the lid when boiling
6.1.6. After the kettle has boiled it may
