Using Your Kettle
• Fill the kettle using either the spout or lid.
• The water level must be between the MAX and MIN ll lines.
• Check that the lid is closed correctly.
• Ensure that the base unit and the base of your kettle are not wet.
• Place the kettle onto the base unit and plug in.
• Switch the kettle on by pushing the On/Off switch to the ‘On’ position.
• Your kettle will begin to boil and will switch off automatically when it is done.
The On/Off switch will automatically move into the ‘Off’ position when done.
• The kettle can be switched off manually by putting the On/Off switch to ‘Off’.
• If you need to boil the kettle again, wait for a few seconds - allow the On/Off
switch time to reset.
• When you lift the kettle up from the base, you may see drops of water on the
base. This is just condensation from steam.
• To avoid splashing or spilling, pour the kettle slowly and do not over-tilt it.
ATTENTION: Improve the quality of your drinks by always using fresh water.
Empty the kettle after each use. Be economical and do not boil more water than
you need.
Boil Dry Protection
• Your kettle will switch off automatically if you try to use it with too little water.
• If this happens, ensure the On/Off switch is in the off position, remove it
from the base unit and allow it to cool down before re-lling.
Washable Filter
• Your kettle is tted with a lter. The lter helps to prevent lime-scale from
getting into your drink.
• The lter should be cleaned regularly, in particular if there are noticeable
deposits left on it, or if pouring is affected in anyway.
• To clean the lter, remove it from the kettle and rinse it under the tap. You
can also drop the lter in when de-scaling your kettle.
• Rinse the lter thoroughly before tting it back into the kettle.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Before cleaning, switch the product off and remove the power plug from
the power outlet. Allow your appliance to cool before cleaning.
Remove plug from the mains socket and allow the appliance to cool down
before cleaning.
Do not immerse the appliance in water.
Clean the base unit and outside of the appliance by wiping it with a damp cloth.
A little detergent can be added if needed.
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, any form of strong solvents or abrasive
cleaning agents to clean the appliance; they may damage the outside surfaces
of the appliance.
De-Scaling
Important: Failure to de-scale your kettle may invalidate your guarantee.
If you do not de-scale your kettle regularly, the build-up of lime-scale may result
in the following:
• The kettle taking longer to boil.
• Damage to the heating element.
• The safety cut out may operate prematurely, switching the kettle off before
the water has boiled.
To Minimise Scale Build-Up
• Empty the kettle of water after each use.
• Do not allow water to stand in the kettle overnight.
• Using ltered water instead of tap water will help to reduce lime-scale build
up.
How To De-Scale
• Any regular de-scaling agent may be used, provided the relevant
instructions are observed.
• Do not ll the kettle to the upper mark to avoid spillage if the de-scaling
agent causes the water to foam.
• To clean the kettle thoroughly of any de-calcication residues let it go
through several boiling cycles using clean water.
