the water window.
Ensure the lid is locked rmly into place.
Position the kettle securely onto the power base.

outlet and switch on.
Press the ‘On/O’ switch to the ‘On’ position for
water to boil.

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 ‘o’ once the
water has boiled.
If further heating of the kettle is not required,
switch ‘O’ at the power outlet, unplug the
power cord and empty the water from the kettle.

CARE & CLEANING
Always switch ‘o’ at the power outlet and
unplug the appliance from the power outlet
before cleaning.
REMOVABLE FILTER
The kettle features a removable mesh lter
to remove scale deposits for cleaner water.
To remove the scale deposits from the lter,
open the lid and slide the lter up and out
of the kettle.
The lter can be cleaned by running under
hot water and rubbing with a cleaning cloth or
brush. To replace lter, simply slide the lter
down into the slot behind the spout of the
kettle and push back into position.
NOTE
The lter 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 aect the
eciency 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.com.
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 with fresh clean water.
TO CLEAN THE EXTERIOR
The outside of the kettle may be wiped over with
a damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth.
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 o, 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.
