mains lead away from the edges of worktops and out of reach

of children.

•Use the kettle only with the power base supplied (and vice

versa).

persons, some appliances are ‘sealed’ using tamperproof

screws. Such appliances should always be returned to the

nearest appointed Russell Hobbs agent for adjustment or repair,

if required.

BEFORE USING YOUR RUSSELL HOBBS KETTLE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Warning:- To reduce the risk of electric shock, the power cord

must be disconnected before performing any maintenance or

trouble shooting checks.

Carefully unpack the kettle and remove all protective packing

materials. You may wipe the outside of the kettle using a clean

damp cloth. Do not use any type of harsh abrasive cleaners.

Do not immerse the base, cord or body in water or any other

liquid. To remove any dust that may have accumulated in the

removable parts during packing, fill to max, boil, discard the

water, and then rinse again with clean water.

POSITION

Position the power base on a stable, level surface, close to an

electrical power supply. Route the mains lead so that it doesn’t

overhang, and can’t be caught accidentally or tripped over. Wind

any excess mains lead round the cord storage area beneath the

power base and bring it out of the cord exit in the side of the

base and away from the reach of children.

FILLING WITH DRINKING WATER

1. Make sure the kettle is not in the ON position.

2. Remove the kettle from its base/stand.

3. Press the lid release button on the lid. This will release the lid

locks. You can now insert a finger under the lid and lift it open.

4. Fill the kettle via the lid opening.

5. Fill the kettle with at least 2 cups of water, but don’t fill past

the max mark. If you overfill the kettle, it may spill boiling

water from the spout.

6. Close the lid, and press the lid down so that the lid locks into

place. Check that the lid is fully closed, otherwise the kettle

may not switch off when it boils.

Warning:- Keep clear of the spout and lid areas as steam will

escape from the lid, which could be a potential hazard.

PREPARING THE BRITA MAXTRA FILTER CARTRIDGE FOR USE :

•Remove protective wrapper (NOTE : cartridge and inside

wrapper may appear moist, this is simply condensation)

•Immerse cartridge in cold water and shake it gently to remove

any air bubbles – NOTE :As is required for some other water

filter cartridges, there is no need to pre-soak the new MAXTRA -

cartridge.

•Place the BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge (9) into the funnel (7)

and push downwards until it firmly fits into the funnel. The

cartridge should stay in place, if the funnel is turned upside

down.

•Fill the funnel with cold tap water and allow it to filter through.

•Discard the first two fillings or use the water for your

plants.

•These first two fillings are used to flush the filter -

cartridge.

•Now re-fill the funnel and the kettle is ready for use.

•Install the lid (3) onto the funnel. (7)

•There is no need to keep the cartridge immersed in water.

•Turn the kettle on by pressing the power on button (1) – after

the water has boiled, the kettle will turn off automatically.

•NOTE: Please remember that water is a foodstuff. -Please

consume filtered water within one to two days.

EXCHANGING THE FILTER:

To exchange the cartridge (after 4 weeks) simply use the ring pull

handle on the top the cartridge to remove it from the funnel.

NOTE: When buying new cartridges look for the original BRITA

MAXTRA symbol on the cartridge packaging to find the correct

filter cartridge in the shop.

Prepare the new BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge for use as detailed

above and install into place.

THE BRITA MEMO

For maximum filter performance and for optimum taste, it is

important to change your BRITA cartridge regularly. BRITA

recommends that you replace the cartridge in your appliance

every 4 weeks.

BRITA - Memo automatically reminds you when to change the

cartridge.

The unique BRITA Memo measures the recommended time of

use of your cartridge. Memo is easy to use and automatically

reminds you when to change your cartridge. The BRITA Memo

is located on the lid of your kettle. Operation is really simple:

•Start the Memo Display:

To start the Memo please press and hold down the start

button on the lid until all four bars appear in the display

and flash twice. The Memo is now set.

•Functional Control:

The flashing dot in the bottom right corner of the Memo

indicates that the Memo is working.

•Change Display:

After every week one bar will disappear to show the

remaining cartridge life. - After 4 weeks all four bars will

disappear.

This and a flashing arrow indicate that the cartridge

should now be changed.

Insert a new cartridge according to the instructions and

re-activate the Memo as described above.

SWITCHING ON

To start with, make sure the kettle switch is in the OFF position.

Plug the stand into the wall socket. If necessary, switch the wall

socket to the ‘ON’ position.

Gently position the kettle on the stand – take care not to spill.

Press the ‘ON/OFF’ switch down. The light in the switch will come

on, and the kettle will start heating up.

SWITCHING OFF

When the water boils the kettle will switch off, the switch will

return to the off position, and the light will go out.

To switch off manually, simply press the ‘ON/OFF’ switch up.

GENERAL DETAILS

Remove the kettle from the stand before pouring.

To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don’t over-tilt the

kettle.

Don’t tilt the kettle backwards, water might get on to the control

area. If this happens, let the kettle dry before use – sit it

somewhere dry & warm for about 12 hours.

When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don’t

worry – it’s the steam used to switch off automatically, which

then condenses and escapes via vents under the kettle.

INSUFFICIENT WATER

This will shorten the life of the element. A boil-dry cut-out will

switch the kettle off. Remove the kettle from its stand, and sit it

on the work surface until it is cold. Don’t fill it unless it’s cold – if

the element is still hot, it may splash water, which could be a

potential hazard.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Switch the kettle off by pressing the ‘ON/OFF’ - switch in the up

direction.

Unplug the stand from the wall socket and let the kettle cool

down fully before cleaning.

Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth. Then buff with

a soft dry cloth.

Keep all connectors and sockets dry.

Don’t put the kettle or stand in any liquid.

Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

BRITA MAXTRA WATER FILTER – SEE ALSO INSTALLING FILTER

INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE

The new BRITA MAXTRA water filter cartridge reduces limescale

(carbonate hardness) aluminium and certain heavy metals (like

lead and copper), as well as substances that affect smell and taste

such as chlorine and organic impurities.

The unique BRITA Memo indicates when to change the MAXTRA

cartridge.

Change the BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge regularly.

NOTE: More information on the use of BRITA filter cartridges

and the Memo can be found in the BRITA information guide.

CLEANING THE FUNNEL

1. Check your hands are free from soap, or anything, which

might leave a taint.

2. Switch the kettle off – press the switch upwards, and let the

kettle cool down completely.

3. Open the lid.

4. Grip the top of the funnel and pull it back away from the top

of the spout, then lift it out of the kettle.

5. Take out the BRITA MAXTRA cartridge.

6. Brush the funnel with a soft brush under a running tap.

DESCALE REGULARLY – EVEN IN ‘SOFT’ WATER AREAS

Should descaling be necessary, remove the BRITA MAXTRA filter

cartridge before descaling.

After the descaling process put the BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge

back into the thoroughly cleaned kettle.

Limescale may be white, coloured, even rusty-looking, but is

usually visible.

Phosphate scale isn’t generally visible, but it is there, even in soft

water areas.

All scale causes overheating, reduces the kettle’s life, and may

trigger the boil-dry cut-out so even with soft water, de-scale

regularly, to help keep your kettle in working order for longer.

Use a descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic

parts). Follow the instructions on the de-scaler, then fill and

operate with clean water only, to remove any residues. Do not use

or drink the water which was used to de-scale the kettle with.

CHANGING THE FITTED/MOULDED PLUG

Should the need arise to change the fitted/moulded plug, follow

these instructions:
