7. Press the lid lock to open the lid.
8. Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but don’t fill above the max mark.
9. If you overfill, the kettle may spit boiling water.
10. Close the lid, and press it down, to lock it closed.
11. Check the lid is closed, or the kettle won’t switch off when it boils.
USING YOUR KETTLE
1. Put the stand on a stable, level surface.
2. Plug the stand into the wall socket.
3. Put the kettle on the stand.
4. Move the switch to the Iposition. The light will come on and the kettle
will heat up.
5. When the water boils, the kettle will switch itself off and the light will
go out.

stand.
GENERAL
• Remove the kettle from the stand before pouring.
• To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don’t over-tilt the kettle.
• Don’t tilt the kettle backwards – water might get on to the control
area.
• If this happens, let the kettle dry before use – put it somewhere warm
for 12 hours.
• When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don’t
worry it’s the steam used to switch the kettle off automatically, which
then condenses and escapes through vents under the kettle.

BOIL DRY PROTECTION
1. This will shorten the life of the element. A boil-dry cut-out will switch
the kettle off.
2. You must then remove the kettle from its stand to reset the cut-out.
3. Sit the kettle on the work surface till it’s cold.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug the stand and let the kettle cool before cleaning.
2. Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth. You may use a little
household detergent, but if you do, rinse well to avoid tainting the
water.
3. Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
4. Don’t put the kettle or stand in liquid.
5. Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Check that the kettle is switched off – move the switch to O, or lift it off
the stand.
2. Unplug the stand (switch the socket off first, if it’s switchable), and let
the kettle cool down fully.
3. Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth. You may use a little
household detergent, but if you do, rinse well to avoid tainting the
water.
4. Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
5. Don’t put the kettle or stand in liquid.
6. Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
DESCALING
Descale regularly, at least monthly
Descale the appliance at least monthly with a proprietary descaler. Use a
descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts). Follow
the instructions on the package of descaler.
Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject
to a repair charge.

6
WATER FILTER
Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy
appearance. The filter will prevent these particles going into your drink. If
you see deposits on the filter, clean it, otherwise the performance of your
kettle will drop, your drinks may contain scale, and the water inside the
kettle may look cloudy.
CLEANING THE FILTER
1. Switch the kettle off and let it cool.
2. Open the lid.
3. Push the top of the filter down and back, into the kettle, to release the
hooks on the top of the filter from the rectangular holes at the top of
the spout.
4. Lift the filter out of the kettle to disengage the bottom hook from the
hole at the bottom of the spout.
5. Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.
6. Lower the filter into the kettle, and engage the bottom hook in the
hole at the bottom of the spout.
7. Press the top of the filter gently down and towards you, to force the
hooks on the top of the filter into the rectangular holes on either side
of the spout.
8. Close the lid.
