Morphy Richards ECOLECTRIC KETTLE User manual

DESCALING

IMPORTANT: As this appliance

is fitted with a concealed

element, it must be descaled

regularly. The frequency of

descaling depends on usage

and the hardness of the water in

your area.

Excessive scale can cause the

appliance to switch off before

boiling and may damage the

element, invalidating the

warranty.

It is essential that regular

descaling takes place.

Remove hard scale using a

proprietary descaling product

suitable for stainless steel, glass

or plastic.

For stainless steel kettles,

please follow the instructions

carefully.

Alternatively, use citric acid

crystals (available from most

pharmacies) as follows:

1Fill the appliance 3/4 full, boil,

then unplug the appliance

(remove the cordless kettle from

the base unit) and stand it in an

empty sink or bowl.

2Gradually add 50gm of citric

acid crystals to the water, then

leave the kettle to stand. Do not

use a more concentrated

solution.

3As soon as the effervescence

subsides, empty the appliance

and rinse it thoroughly with cold

water.

4Wipe the outside of the

appliance thoroughly with a

damp cloth to remove all traces

of acid which may damage the

finish.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the

electrical connections are

completely dry before using the

appliance.

HINTS AND TIPS

Cleaning and

maintenance

WARNING: Always

disconnect the plug from

the mains and allow the

cleaning.

abrasive cleaners on the outside

of the appliance, as they may

scratch the surface.

The kettle that not only does a good job...

As well as looking incredibly stylish, our ecolectric kettle is very practical - it has a 1.7litre capacity,

cool touch materials, ergonomic design for easy pouring and a really clever eco boil function.

...it helps you do your bit to save the planet

It also makes it easy to save up to 24% less energy on heating water. It’s special illuminated water

gauge helps you easily see how much water is left (so you’re not wasting money boiling more than you

need for a cuppa), whilst it’s ingenious ‘eco switch’ saves energy by heating the water to a lower

temperature - 85 degrees which is ideal for perfect tasting coffee and herbal teas.

Meet the family

Every product in the ecolectric family is packaged in materials that are both recycled and 100%

recyclable. Naturally, that makes them better for the environment.

GETTING THE

BEST FROM

YOUR NEW

KETTLE

Safety first: Always pour

water slowly and carefully to

prevent the splashing of

scalding water.

Empty the water out of

the kettle after first

boiling: To clean away any

deposits that are left in the

kettle after the

manufacturing process.

Descale as appropriate

for the hardness of the

water in your area: It is

important to descale as the

performance of the kettle

for auto switch-off will be

impaired.

Fast boil kettles perform

differently: If your kettle is a

fast boil model, it may

sound louder during boiling,

and switch off suddenly

with no after noise - this is

normal.
