Check that the voltage on the rating
plate of your appliance corresponds with
your house electricity supply which must
be A.C. (Alternating Current).
If the socket outlets in your home are
not suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance, the plug should be removed
and the appropriate one fitted.
WARNING: The plug removed from
the mains lead, if severed, must be
destroyed as a plug with bared flexible
cord is hazardous if engaged into a

1Lift up the lid and fill the kettle.
The integrated water level gauge/
viewing lid (on certain models) allows
you to easily see the amount of water
in your kettle.
•Always put enough water to cover the
bottom of the kettle, minimum 1 cup
200cc.
•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
360oconnector.
•The 360oconnector allows the kettle
to be located at any position - ideal for
left and right handed users and
convenient positioning on your
worktop.
3Plug in and switch on at the wall
socket.
4Switch the kettle on. The ‘power on’
indicator neon will light up.
5When lifting the kettle from the base
unit by the handle ensure you hold
the kettle level.
•To reboil, switch to ON again. If the
kettle has just switched off wait
several seconds 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,
wait a few minutes for the element to
cool, then refill and use as normal.

Descaling
IMPORTANT: As this kettle is fitted
with a concealed element it must be
descaled as and when appropriate. This
depends on usage and the hardness of
the water in your area.
Scale can cause the kettle to
malfunction and may damage the
element invalidating the warranty.
It is essential that regular descaling
takes place.
Remove hard scale using either a
proprietary descaling product suitable for
plastic kettles (following the instructions
carefully), or citric acid crystals.
We recommend using citric acid
crystals (available from most pharmacies)
as follows,
1Fill the kettle to the 1 litre mark, boil,
then unplug the kettle (remove the
cordless kettle from the base unit) and
stand it in an empty sink or bowl.
2Remove the filter and drop it into
the water. This will allow the filter to
be descaled at the same time.
3Add 50gm of citric acid crystals to the
water gradually, then leave the kettle
to stand. Do not use a more
concentrated solution.
4As soon as the effervescence
subsides, empty the kettle and rinse it
thoroughly with cold water.
Take care to wash the filter thoroughly,
then replace back into its location slot
(see filter removal page 4).
IMPORTANT - never operate or boil
the kettle with the filter in the base of
the kettle, the hot element plate will
melt and damage the filter.
