Functions
OPERATION
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. Always fill the kettle
between the minimum (250ml) and
maximum (1000ml) marks. 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.
The kettle will automatically switch ‘off’ once
the water has boiled. To re-boil it may be
necessary to wait for a few seconds to allow the
control to reset.
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.

Care & Cleaning
TO CLEAN THE EXTERIOR
The outside of the kettle may be wiped over
with a damp cloth and polished with a soft
dry cloth.
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.
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
