Getting the best from your
new kettle...
Empty the water out of the
kettle after first boiling
Toclean 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 and auto
switch-off will be impaired.
Safety first
Always pour water slowly and
carefully to prevent the splashing of
scalding water.
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.

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
toswitch off before boiling and may
damage the element invalidating the
warranty.
Itis 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 beforeusing the
kettle.

the plug from the mains and
allow the kettle to cool before
cleaning.

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
awater 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.
4Switch the kettle on. The ‘power on’
neon will light up.
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 offwait 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
