clean water with each cycle and filling the kettle to its upper marking. The water will
reach boiling point after approximately 5 minutes. The kettle switches off
automatically.
3. Discard the boiled water and wait for the kettle to cool. Then rinse the kettle with
cold water.
4. Your appliance is now ready for normal use.
5. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner
5 - Using Your Appliance
1. Remove the lid and fill the kettle.
2. The water level must be between the MAX and MIN fill lines.
3. Replace the lid making sure it is closed correctly.
4. Ensure that both the base unit and the base of your kettle are not wet.
5. Place the kettle onto the base unit and plug in.
6. Switch the kettle on by pushing the ON/OFF switch to the ‘On’ position.
7. 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. Whilst the
kettle is boiling the LED light on the ON/OFF switch will illuminate.
8. The kettle can be switched off manually by putting the ON/OFF switch to ‘OFF’. Note:
The On/Off switch will also automatically return to the off position when it is
finished boiling.

9

9. If you need to boil the kettle again, wait for a few seconds - allow the ON/OFF switch
time to reset.
10. When you lift the kettle up, you may see drops of water on the base. This is just
condensation from steam.
11. To avoid splashing or spilling, pour the kettle slowly and do not over-tilt it.
WARNING! NEVER REMOVE THE LID DURING BOILING
Tips: 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 or if it
is empty.
•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-filling.
•Wait at least 15 minutes for the cut-out to reset before refilling with cold water and
boiling.
Note: Do not switch the kettle on unless it contains at least one cup of water. Misuse of
this kind can shorten the lifespan of the kettle.
Filter:
•Your kettle is fitted with a filter. The filter helps to prevent lime-scale from getting
into your drink.
•The filter should be cleaned regularly, in particular if there are noticeable deposits
left on it, or if pouring is affected in anyway.
•To clean the filter, rinse it under the tap.

8 - Cleaning & Care
Cleaning The Outside and Base Unit:
1. Remove plug from the mains socket and allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
2. Do not immerse the base unit, kettle or plug/power cord in water or any other liquid.
3. Clean the base unit and outside of the appliance by wiping it with a damp cloth. A
little detergent can be added if needed.
4. 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 filtered water instead of tap water will help to reduce lime-scale build up.
How To De-Scale:
Note: Should the appliance switch off before reaching boiling point this is a sign that de-
scaling is necessary.
•Any regular de-scaling agent may be used, provided the relevant instructions are
observed. To avoid spillage, DO NOT fill the kettle to the upper mark if the de-scaling
agent causes the water to foam.
•To clean the kettle thoroughly of any de-calcification residue; let it go through several
boiling cycles using clean water with each cycle. Rinse the kettle with clean water
afterwards.
•It is advisable to remove limescale deposits from the kettle at regular intervals.
Removing Limescale Build-up:
If using a kettle cleaning solution make sure to follow the instructions.
•Natural Cleaning Method for Limescale Removal:

12
•Fill the kettle with equal parts water and vinegar (white wine vinegar, cider vinegar or
lemon juice work particularly well). Allow the kettle to boil (pay attention that the
contents do not boil over) and let it stand for 30-40 minutes.
•When finished empty the kettle and rinse it with water.
•The kettle should now be free from limescale and can be used again.
