water. Boil this mixture and allow it to stand for 15 minutes. Re-boil
the mixture and allow it to stand a further 15 minutes. Re-boil this
mixture a third time and rinse the kettle well.
DESCALING

2. Lift the filter upwards from its holder.

holder until it clicks into place.
WARNING: Unless the filter is fitted correctly, the kettle lid may

FILTER REMOVAL
5. Plug the cord into a power socket and switch on at the wall.
6. Switch the kettle on. The ‘power on’ light will illuminate.
7. Rapid boil kettles perform differently, they may sound louder during
boiling, and switch off suddenly with no after noise, this is normal.
8. When the water boils the kettle will switch off automatically.
If you are using the kettle for the first time, pour away the boiled
water.
9. Lift the kettle from the power base by the handle ensuring you hold
the kettle level. To re-boil, switch ON again. If the kettle has just
switched off wait a minute or two before switching it back on again.

empty, the safety cut-out will switch off the power automatically. If
this happens, refill and wait a few minutes for the element to cool,
then use as normal.
