OPERATING YOUR SAGE PRODUCT
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any promotional material attached
to your kettle. It is recommended that before
first use, the kettle is filled to the maximum
level with cold tap water, boiled and water
discarded. Your kettle will only operate
when positioned on the power base with
the ‘On/Off’ switch in the ‘On’ position. The
kettle will automatically switch off once the
water has boiled.
OPERATION OF YOUR KETTLE
To fill the kettle, remove it from the power
base and open lid by pressing the lid release
button. Fill with the desired amount of water.
NOTE
Always fill the kettle between the
minimum (250ml) and maximum
(1000ml) marks on the water window.
Too little water will result in the kettle
switching ‘Off’ before the water has
boiled. Filling above the maximum
mark (MAX) may result in boiling
water splashing from the kettle.
Ensure the lid is locked firmly into place.
Position the kettle securely onto the power
base. Insert the power plug into a 230V
power outlet and switch on.
Press the ‘On/Off’ switch to the ‘On’
position for water to boil.
NOTE
This kettle must only be used with
the power base supplied. Use caution
when pouring water from your kettle,
as boiling water will scald. Do not
pour the water too quickly.
The kettle will automatically switch ‘off’
once the water has boiled. Lift the kettle
from the power base and pour the water.
Take care to hold the kettle level, especially
when filled to the maximum level. To re-boil
it may be necessary to wait for a few seconds
to allow the control to reset.
If further heating of the kettle is not
required, switch ‘Off’ at the power outlet,
unplug the power cord and empty the water
from the kettle. Replace the kettle onto the
power base and close the lid.
SAFETY BOIL DRY PROTECTION
The kettle is fitted with a safety device
which protects against overheating should
the appliance be operated with insufficient
water. If this occurs, the kettle will stop
heating. Switch ‘Off’ at the power outlet and
allow kettle to cool before refilling. Remove
the kettle from the power base and add
water. Return the kettle to the power base.
The safety device will then automatically
reset.
For additional safety, your kettle is fitted
with an additional thermal cut out. In
the event of overheating, the kettle will
automatically shut down to prevent further
damage. Should this occur, take your kettle
to an authorised Sage Service Centre.
WARNING
The appliance is designed for boiling
of drinking quality water only. Never
use to heat or boil any other liquids
or foodstuffs. The lid should always
be firmly in place and locked into the
closed position before use.
WARNING
Do not press the lid release button
to open the lid during and after
operation. This may result in boiling
water splashing from the kettle. Pour
out all the hot water from the kettle
before opening the lid to refill.
CARE & CLEANING
Always switch ‘off’ at the power outlet and
unplug the appliance from the power outlet
before cleaning.
NOTE
The concealed element in the base of
the kettle is made from high quality
stainless steel. Any brown stains
appearing are the results of mineral
deposits and are not rust.
REMOVAL OF MINERAL DEPOSITS
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause
the kettle interior and water gauge to
discolour over time. This may be removed
by using Sage Kettle Cleaner (BKC250)
or a proprietary kettle descaler which is
available from most leading supermarkets,
department and hardware stores.
