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 years.
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, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent, or someone similarly qualified, to avoid hazard.
HDon’t put the kettle, stand, cable, or plug in any liquid; don’t use the kettle in a

13 The temperatures available are: 100 (boil), 95, 90, 85, 80, 75, 70, 65, 60, 55, 50, 45, 40,

17 Press and release the >button.
18 >will blink on the display.
19 Use the uand dbuttons to set the temperature.
20 This function only works at the 95, 90, 85, 80, 75, 70, 65, 60, 55, 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, and
25 settings.

corresponding <and/or >icons from the display.
28 The display will show the temperature of the water in the kettle.
29 To save electricity, unplug the stand.
30 The appliance will remember the setting for up to 24 hours.
C GENERAL
31 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.
32 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.
33 If you normally heat water to less than 100°C, and keep it warm, you may ignore the
<button, and use the keep warm function on its own.
F USING WITH INSUFFICIENT WATER
34 This will shorten the life of the element. A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
35 You must then remove the kettle from its stand to reset the cut-out.
36 Sit the kettle on the work surface till it’s cold.
C CARE AND MAINTENANCE
37 Unplug the stand from the wall socket, and let the kettle cool down fully before
cleaning.
38 Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth.
39 Keep the connectors dry.
C CLEANING THE FILTER
40 Switch the kettle off, and let it cool.
41 Open the lid.
42 Grip the top of the filter, and push it down and into the kettle to release it.

the kettle.

products (most products have plastic parts). Follow the instructions on the package
of descaler.

repair charge.
