A IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have
been supervised/instructed and understand the hazards involved.
•Children shall not play with the appliance.
•Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children
unless they are older than 8 and supervised.
•Keep the appliance and cable out of reach of children under 8.
2 If you overfill, the kettle may spit boiling water.
3 Use the kettle only with the stand supplied (and vice versa).
4 If the cable is damaged, return the appliance, to avoid hazard.
hThe surfaces of the appliance will get hot.
LDon’t put the kettle, stand, cable, or plug in any liquid; don’t use the kettle in a
bathroom, near water, or outdoors.
5 Don’t use the kettle for any purpose other than heating water.
6 Don’t operate the appliance if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
household use only
C THE LID

out of the hopper.
C FILLING – 1 CUP
2 Fill the hopper with the amount of water you need (up to 250ml/10floz).
3 Press the button to open the hopper and pass the water into the kettle.
4 Jump to point 10.
C FILLING – MORE THAN 1 CUP
5 Hold the kettle under the tap
6 Press the button to open the hopper.
7 Fill with at least 1 cup of water, but not above max.
,Don’t worry – the open hopper will easily cope with the flow of water.
8 Turn the tap off.
9 Release the button, to close the bottom of the hopper.
1 SWITCHING ON
10 Put the stand on a stable, level surface.
11 Plug the stand into the wall socket.
12 Put the kettle on the stand.
13 Move the switch to 1. The light will glow, the kettle will heat up.

4
0 SWITCHING OFF
14 When the water boils the kettle will switch off.
15 To switch off manually, move the switch to 0.
16 Lifting the kettle off the stand will also switch the kettle off.
C GENERAL
17 When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don’t worry – it’s the
steam used to switch off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents
under the kettle.
18 You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, don’t worry – it’s
due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.
F USING WITH INSUFFICIENT WATER
19 This will shorten the life of the element. A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
10 You must then remove the kettle from its stand to reset the cut-out.
1` Sit the kettle on the work surface till it’s cold.

cleaning.
