Functions
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
(500ml) and maximum (1700ml) 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 230/240V
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 up to 30 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 authorized Sage
Service Centre.

11
Care & Cleaning
Always switch ‘Off’ at the power outlet and
unplug the appliance from the power outlet
before cleaning.
REMOVABLE FILTER
The kettle features a removable mesh filter to
remove scale deposits for cleaner water.
To remove the scale deposits from the filter,
open the lid and slide the filter up and out
of the kettle.
The filter can be cleaned by running under
hot water and rubbing with a cleaning cloth or
brush. To replace filter, simply slide the filter
down into the slot behind the spout of the
kettle and push back into position.
NOTE
The filter could become damaged with time.
Please check regularly and replace if found
damaged.
NOTE
The concealed element in the base of the kettle
is made from high quality stainless steel.
Any brown stains appearing are the result of
mineral deposits and are not rust.
DESCALING
It is essential that regular descaling takes
place. Frequency will depend on the usage
of the kettle and the hardness of the water in
your area. A build-up of scale may cause the
inside of the kettle to discolour and ultimately
may damage the element. This will affect the
efficiency of the appliance and may invalidate
the warranty agreement. We recommend the
use of Sage "the Descaler" as it's specially
formulated for descaling kettles. To order visit
www.sageappliances.co.uk
1. Empty one sachet (25g) into 1 litre of
warm water, stir to dissolve.
2. Pour into the kettle.
3. Leave stand for 5 minutes.
4. After 5 minutes, discard the solution.
5. Rinse the kettle twice with fresh clean water.
NOTE
Do not use chemicals, alkaline cleaning agents,
steel wool or abrasive cleaners to clean the
inside or outside of the kettle. Use a mild
cleaning agent with a soft damp cloth.
STORAGE
Ensure the kettle is switched off, clean and
dry before storing. Ensure the lid is closed and
locked securely into place. Wrap the power
cord around the cord storage under the power
base. Stand the kettle upright on the power
base. Do not store anything on top.
