Remove all packaging before use.
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.
hThe surfaces of the appliance will get hot.
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.
LDon’t put the kettle, stand, cable, or plug in liquid.
5 Keep the kettle, stand, and cable away from the edges of worktops.
6 Don’t use the kettle for any purpose other than heating water.
7 Don’t operate the appliance if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
household use only
C FILLING
1 Press the lid lock to open the lid.
2 Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not above max.
3 Close the lid, and press down to lock it.
C SWITCHING ON
4 Put the stand on a stable, level surface.
5 Check that the switch is off – move it to 0.
6 Plug the stand into the wall socket.
7 Put the kettle on the stand.
8 Move the switch to 1. The light will glow. The kettle will start to heat.
C SWITCHING OFF
9 When the water boils the kettle will switch off.
10 To switch off manually, move the switch to 0, or lift the kettle off the stand.
C GENERAL
11 When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don’t worry – it’s the
1team used to switch off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents
under the kettle.
12 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
13 This will shorten the life of the element. A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
14 You must then remove the kettle from its stand to reset the cut-out.
15 Sit the kettle on the work surface till it’s cold.
C CARE AND MAINTENANCE
16 Unplug the stand, and let the kettle cool before cleaning.
17 Open the lid.

19 Grip the top of the filter, and push it down and into the kettle to release it.
20 Lift or tip it out of the kettle.
21 Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.
22 Fit the bottom of the filter into the guides at the bottom of the spout.
23 Push the top of the filter towards the spout, to force the top edges of the filter into
the hooks behind the spout.
