SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons,
including the following:
• Read all instructions.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be carried out by
children without supervision. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance. Keep the appliance and its cable out of
the reach of children.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or knobs provided. Care must be
taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from spilled, hot liquid.
• To protect against fire, electric shock and personal injury, do not immerse
cable, plug, base or electric kettle in water or other liquid.
• Unplug from the socket when the kettle is not in use and before cleaning.
Allow to cool before fitting or removing parts and before cleaning the
appliance.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power lead or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any
manner. Power lead replacement and repairs must be conducted by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid creating a hazard. Call the customer service number provided for
information on examination, repair or adjustment.
• The use of accessories not recommended by the manufacturer may result in
fire, electric shock or personal injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the lead hang over the edge of the table or countertop, or touch
hot surfaces, including the hob.
• Do not place the kettle on or near a hot gas burner or electric burner or in
a heated oven.
• To disconnect the kettle, stop any active function mode and then remove
plug from wall socket. Never pull on the cable as this may damage it and
eventually cause electric shock.
• Do not use appliance for anything other than its intended use.
• Do not use for anything other than heating water. Other liquids or food will
contaminate the interior and void warranty.
• Do not allow kettle to boil dry.
• To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance
on the same circuit.
• WARNING: Scalding may occur if the lid is opened during the heating cycle.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar environments
such as: staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments; farmhouses; by guests in hotels, motels and other residential-
type environments; and bed and breakfast type environments.
WARNING Electric shock hazard: This appliance is provided with
an earthed (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug only fits
one way into an earthed socket. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by
modifying it in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit into the
socket, a qualified electrician should replace the socket.
The length of the lead used on this appliance was selected to reduce the
hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer lead. If a longer lead
is necessary, an approved extension lead may be used. The electrical rating of
the extension lead must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance.
Care must be taken to arrange the extension lead so that it does not hang over
the edge of the countertop or tabletop where it could be pulled by children or
accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage
appliance on the same circuit as this appliance.
Other Consumer Safety Information
• Make certain that the kettle’s lid is securely in place during operation and
when pouring hot water. Do not use force when placing the lid on the kettle.
• The kettle’s outer surface is subject to residual heat after use. Allow to cool
before touching.
• WARNING burn hazard: Do not fill above the MAX level (1.5 litres). Above this
level, water can boil out of the kettle, creating a burn hazard.
• Do not spill water on the base.
• Only use the power base provided.
• CAUTION: To prevent damage to the appliance, do not use alkaline cleaning
agents when cleaning; instead, use a soft cloth and a mild detergent.

cleaning will also reduce the risk of fire.
BEFORE CLEANING
Unplug the kettle and allow to cool completely.
Care recommendations
WARNING Electric shock hazard:
• Do not immerse kettle when cleaning.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces of metal may come loose from the
pad and come in contact with electrical parts, causing the risk of electric shock.
CLEANING
Control panel
display
Wipe with a slightly damp sponge. Protect display when cleaning any other
surfaces.
Stainless steel
exterior
Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner, such as Signature Polish, and
apply with a soft, lint-free cloth. To bring out the natural lustre, lightly wipe
the surface with a damp microfibre cloth followed by a dry polishing cloth.
Always follow the grain of the stainless steel. Signature Polish can be ordered
via their website at www.signaturepolishonline.com.
Non-stainless
steel exterior
Wipe the outside of the kettle with a damp cloth or spray with all-purpose
cleaner. Wipe clean with a lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or
metal scouring pads.
Stainless steel
vessel
Allow vessel to cool before washing. Hand-wash in warm, soapy water with
a sponge, dishcloth or plastic pad. Do not fully immerse vessel in water.
Avoid using steel wool, steel scouring pads or harsh detergents.
Although stainless steel is very durable, it is not indestructible. Pitting may
result if undissolved salt is allowed to remain in the bottom of the vessel.
Lid with filter Hand-wash in warm, soapy water with a sponge or dishcloth.
Vessel interior If kettle floor discolours: It is normal for stainless steel heating elements to
discolour. This does not aect the performance of the kettle. Do not use
abrasive scouring pads or cleaners since this may damage the stainless
steel surface.
To avoid limescale deposit build up, empty the vessel after each use. To
remove discolouration or limescale deposit from the heating element:
Place 3 g (1/2 teaspoon) of cream of tartar (available in the home baking
section of supermarkets) into the vessel. Then fill the vessel to MAX level
(1.5 litres). Place lid on vessel. Place vessel on base. Plug the kettle in. Rotate
