you connect the appliance. If it does not match up,
contact the after sales support details listed in this
manual and do not use the kettle.
Do not operate the kettle on an inclined plane.
In order to be protected against electrical hazards,
do not immerse the power cord, plug, or appliance in
water or any other liquid.
Ensure your hands are dry before handling the plug or
switching on the appliance.
Power cord and plug
Check the power cord regularly for visible damage. If
the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, the manufacturer’s authorized service
centres or similar qualified personnel.
The length of the power cord can be adjusted. To
shorten the cord, push the excess cord back into the
base. For added safety, only the minimum length of the
cord should be visible between the base and the socket.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used near children.
Do not unplug the appliance by pulling on the cord.
Instead, grasp the plug and pull.
Keep the cord away from heat sources and do not let
the power cord hang over a table edge.
Installation
Keep the appliance away from heat sources and place
only on heat resistant, dry and stable flat surfaces.
Do not place the kettle on hot surfaces or metal trays.
Do not use the kettle at subzero temperatures. The
control thermostat may reset to boil and energize the
element.

OPERATION GUIDE
Troubleshooting
If a problem occurs and you are unable to solve it with the information
below, contact the after sales support centre using the contact details
provided in this manual.
Problem Solution
Kettle is not working • Check the connection.
• Check if the kettle is correctly
positioned on its base.
• Check if the switch is locked in
the position “on”.
• Make sure that the kettle has
been filled with water.
Kettle is working intermittently • Scale may be interrupting the
boiling process. Descale the
kettle (Descaling).

The kettle should be cleaned and descaled regularly. This will prolong
the life of the kettle.
Always unplug the kettle and let it cool down before cleaning.
Never immerse the kettle and mains lead into any liquid.
The outside of the kettle and the base can be cleaned by simply
wiping with a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use abrasive
cleaning agents, scourers, metal utensils, etc.
To prevent damage to the appliance, do not use alkaline cleaning
agents.
Cleaning the filter
The filter prevents particles from being poured into your drink. As
the filter catches the particles it needs a casual cleaning to maintain
easy pouring of the kettle.
Clean the filter by taking it out of the spout and brushing it with a
soft nylon brush under running water.
Descaling
Scale consists of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Depending on the amount
of calcium carbonate in your water, scale may build up in the kettle.
The amount of scale depends on the hardness of the water in your
area and the frequency with which you use your kettle. In order
to keep the kettle in good condition, it is recommended to descale
it regularly. If the hardness of your water is very high, meaning it
contains a high amount of calcium carbonate, you will need to descale
more frequently. If your water hardness is soft, meaning less calcium
carbonate, descaling will not be necessary as frequently. The water
hardness is measured in dH (degrees hardness). The following table
shows the guidelines:
water hardness
0-4 dH very soft
4-8 dH soft
8-12 dH medium hard
12-18 dH fairly hard
18-30 dH hard
