Morphy Richards ECOLECTRIC KETTLE User manual

DESCALING
IMPORTANT: As this appliance
is fitted with a concealed
element, it must be descaled
regularly. The frequency of
descaling depends on usage
and the hardness of the water in
your area.
Excessive scale can cause the
appliance to switch off before
boiling and may damage the
element, invalidating the
warranty.
It is essential that regular
descaling takes place.
Remove hard scale using a
proprietary descaling product
suitable for stainless steel, glass
or plastic.
For stainless steel kettles,
please follow the instructions
carefully.
Alternatively, use citric acid
crystals (available from most
pharmacies) as follows:
1Fill the appliance 3/4 full, boil,
then unplug the appliance
(remove the cordless kettle from
the base unit) and stand it in an
empty sink or bowl.
2Gradually add 50gm of citric
acid crystals to the water, then
leave the kettle to stand. Do not
use a more concentrated
solution.
3As soon as the effervescence
subsides, empty the appliance
and rinse it thoroughly with cold
water.
4Wipe the outside of the
appliance thoroughly with a
damp cloth to remove all traces
of acid which may damage the
finish.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the
electrical connections are
completely dry before using the
appliance.
HINTS AND TIPS

The kettle that not only does a good job...
As well as looking incredibly stylish, our ecolectric kettle is very practical - it has a 1.7litre capacity,
cool touch materials, ergonomic design for easy pouring and a really clever eco boil function.
...it helps you do your bit to save the planet
It also makes it easy to save up to 24% less energy on heating water. It’s special illuminated water
gauge helps you easily see how much water is left (so you’re not wasting money boiling more than you
need for a cuppa), whilst it’s ingenious ‘eco switch’ saves energy by heating the water to a lower
temperature - 85 degrees which is ideal for perfect tasting coffee and herbal teas.
Meet the family
Every product in the ecolectric family is packaged in materials that are both recycled and 100%
recyclable. Naturally, that makes them better for the environment.

GETTING THE
BEST FROM
YOUR NEW
KETTLE
Safety first: Always pour
water slowly and carefully to
prevent the splashing of
scalding water.
Empty the water out of
the kettle after first
boiling: To clean away any
deposits that are left in the
kettle after the
manufacturing process.
Descale as appropriate
for the hardness of the
water in your area: It is
important to descale as the
performance of the kettle
for auto switch-off will be
impaired.
Fast boil kettles perform
differently: If your kettle is a
fast boil model, it may
sound louder during boiling,
and switch off suddenly
with no after noise - this is
normal.
