SHARP PARTS!
Due to hot parts and potential hazards, this appliance should not be used by children
under 16 years old unless supervised by an adult.
Please keep the appliance and mains cable out of the reach of children. This is not a toy!
If used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, instruction and
supervision must be given to understand the use of the appliance and the hazards involved.

assembling, disassembling or cleaning.
If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by qualified persons
in order to avoid any hazards.

• Do not let the mains cable run across an open space, such as
between a low power socket and a table, or across any hot area,
such as a cooker. Heat may damage the mains cable.
• The connections on both sides of the mains cable (the appliance
and the power socket) should never be strained. If the mains
cable is damaged it must be replaced by a qualified person or
service to avoid any hazards.
• This appliance must not be operated by an external timer or a
remote control system.
• The top of the base unit
8
should always be kept dry, especially
around the connection area.
• Before drying, disconnect the power supply; ensure that
the base unit
8
is completely dry before you reconnect the
appliance to power supply.
• Pour the water out of the kettle slowly and carefully, do not over
tilt or tip the kettle too fast to prevent spillage and splashing.
Remove the kettle from the base unit
8
before filling or pouring.
• Do not move the kettle when it is switched on. Use extreme
caution when moving a kettle containing hot water.
• Do not switch the kettle on unless it contains at least two cups
of water.
• Avoid filling it up above the MAX mark to prevent the hot
water spewing out.
• Always remove the kettle from the base unit
8
before you fill it.
• Always close the lid
3
and have the filter
1
in place before
you switch the kettle on. Do not open the lid
3
while the water
is boiling.
• Avoid contact with steam while the water is boiling and after the
kettle is switched off.
• Avoid using the kettle near or below curtains, shelves,
cupboards or anything that might be damaged or deformed by
hot steam.
• Use the handle
2
and knobs
3
on the appliance and avoid
touching any hot surfaces.
• The switch
7
should never be held fixed in the ON position as
this may cause damage to the switch-off mechanism.
• Do not remove the kettle body
4
from the base unit
8
without
switching it off first. Unplug the base unit
8
when not in use.
• Unplug the kettle from the power socket before cleaning or
removing any parts. Ensure that the kettle is completely cooled
down before cleaning and storing away. Keep the kettle, base
unit
8
, mains cable, and plug away from sources of heat and
store in a dry place.
• Do not use the kettle for any purpose other than heating water.
• Use the kettle only with the base unit
8
supplied and do not
tamper with the connector in any way.
A scald hazard can last for a long time after boiling.
Take care when opening the lid as steam will escape
from the opening. If scalding does occur, immediately
run cold water over the affected area and seek
medical assistance.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Fill to the MAX mark, boil, discard the water, then rinse. Do
this three times, to remove manufacturing dust. Ensure that the
electrical connections are completely dry before use.
SAFE HANDLING
• Pour water from the kettle slowly to prevent splashing and
scalding with the hot water.
• Fill the water from the top to help free the filter from limescale
build-up. There should always be a minimum amount of water in
the kettle before you switch it on (MIN mark on the water level
indicator ).
• To save time and electricity, only boil the necessary amount of water.
SWITCHING ON
• Place the kettle on the base unit
8
. Make sure that the kettle is
secure on the 360˚connector.
• Plug the mains cable of the base unit
8
into a power socket
before switching the power on.
• Switch the kettle ON. The ON/OFF switch
5
will light up and
the kettle will start heating the water.
SWITCHING OFF
• Once the water is boiled the kettle will automatically switch off.
• Lift the kettle from the base unit
8
and hold it level to avoid
splashing the hot water.
• To boil the water again, place the kettle back on the base unit
8
and switch it on again.
• If there is not enough water in the kettle, it will switch off
automatically. To switch it back on, refill the kettle and wait a few
minutes to cool down.
Using insufficient water will shorten the service life
of the appliance.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Do not attempt to remove the water temperature
gauge from the kettle.
The water temperature gauge
9
shows the temperature of
the water inside the kettle. The gauge will not work if there is
insufficient water in the kettle
10
. There may be +/-5°C variation
of temperature.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning always check that the kettle is switched
off and has completely cooled down.
• Unplug the base unit and let the kettle cool completely.
• Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth. Do not
use abrasive cleaners on the outside of the appliance to avoid
scratching the surface.
• Ensure that all connectors and sockets are completely dry.
Descale - even in soft water areas
• This appliance is fitted with a concealed heating element
6
and
therefore must be descaled regularly.
• The frequency of descaling depends on usage and water
hardness. Excessive scale causes overheating, reduces the life of
the appliance, and may trigger the boil-dry cut-out feature. This
may damage the concealed heating element
6
and invalidate
the guarantee.
• Use an appropriate descaling product suitable for stainless
steel, glass or plastic and follow the manufacturer’s instructions
carefully.
• Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will
be subject to a repair charge.
FILTER REMOVAL
Handle carefully as the temperature gauge bar inside the
kettle is very sharp.
• Push the filter
1
into the kettle through the spout. Do not use
sharp objects as they can damage the mesh.
• To retrieve the filter from the kettle always shake it out of the
kettle to prevent injury with the gauge bar
10
.
• To fit the filter
1
into the kettle again, align the filter hooks onto
the spout opening on the inside of the kettle, and press until it
clicks into place. Be careful not to touch the gauge bar
10
.
