Using
Filling the kettle
1Wherever possible fill through the
spout, as this helps to free the filter
from limescale build-up.
• The integrated water level indicator
allows you to easily see the amount
of water in the kettle.
• Always ensure that the level of
water in the kettle is filled to at least
the minimum level shown on the
water gauge. Should your kettle not
have a water gauge, always ensure
that the element is covered.
• Boil only as much water as you
need as this saves electricity.
2Place the kettle on the base unit,
ensuring the kettle locates on to the
360° connector.
•The 360° connector allows the
kettle to be located at any position.
- ideal for left and right handed
users and for convenient
positioning on the worktop.
3Plug in and switch on at the wall
socket. The kettle will switch off
when it is boiled.
4Switch the kettle on.
5When the water boils the kettle will
switch off automatically.
• If you are using the kettle for the
first time, pour away the boiled
water and refill.
6Lift the kettle from the base unit by
the handle ensuring you hold the
kettle level.
• To re-boil, switch to ON again. If the
kettle has just switched off wait a
minute or so before switching it
back on again.
• If you do not put in enough water,
or switch on the kettle when it is
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.
Filter removal
1Open the lid.
2Lift the filter upwards from its
holder.
3To refit the filter, slide it into the side
wall guides of the filter holder until
it clicks into place.
WARNING: Unless the filter is
fitted correctly, the kettle lid may
not close and lock securely.
Descaling
IMPORTANT: As this kettle 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
kettle 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 kettles.
Alternatively use citric acid crystals
(available from most pharmacies) as
follows.
1Fill the kettle 3/4 full, boil, then
unplug the kettle (remove the
cordless kettle from the base unit)
and stand it in an empty sink or
bowl.
2Add 50gm of citric acid crystals to
the water gradually, then leave the
kettle to stand. Do not use a more
concentrated solution.
3As soon as the effervescence
subsides, empty the kettle and rinse
it thoroughly with cold water.
4Wipe the outside of the kettle
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
kettle.
Cleaning
WARNING: Always disconnect
the plug from the mains and
allow the kettle to cool before
cleaning.
Wipe the outside with a damp cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive
cleaners on the outside of the kettle
which may scratch the surface.
