PARTS DIAGRAM

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING THE KETTLE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Fill the kettle to the Max point, boil, discard the water, then rinse the kettle. Do

this three times, to remove manufacturing dust, and other impurities.

POSITIONING

Place the kettle stand on a stable, level surface. Ensure that the cable is

positioned so that it does not hang over the surface edge where it can be hooked

or tripped over by persons walking past.

Wind excess cable into the convenient storage facility beneath the kettle stand.

FILLING THE KETTLE

Remove the kettle from the stand.

Grip the handle in one hand, grip the lid knob in the other, and pull the lid off.

Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not above Max point.

If you overfill the kettle, it may spit boiling water while operating.

Replace the lid, and press down to secure it in place.

Check that the lid is closed, or the kettle will not switch off when it boils.

SWITCHING ON

Plug the stand into the wall socket.

Gently position the kettle on the stand.

Press the switch down.

The switch will light up, and the kettle will heat up.

Please beware of escaping steam from the lid of the kettle when in use.

SWITCHING OFF

When the water has boiled, the kettle will switch off automatically, the switch will

return to the “off” position and the light will go off.

The kettle can be switched off at any time before the water boils by lifting the

kettle off the stand.

GENERAL

Always remove the kettle from the stand before pouring.

To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.

Do not tilt the kettle backwards; water might get on to the control area. If this

happens, let the kettle dry thoroughly before use –place it somewhere warm for

12 hours.

When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Do not worry –it’s

the steam used to switch the kettle off automatically, which then condenses and

escapes via vents under the kettle.

You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, do not worry –

it’s due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.

USING WITH INSUFFICIENT WATER

This will shorten the life of the element. A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off

should there not be sufficient water in the kettle when in use.

To prevent the kettle cycling on and off, remove the kettle from the stand and let

it cool before replacing it on the stand.

Place the kettle on a stable and dry work surface until it is cold.

Don’t fill it the kettle until it is cold, or it may spit hot water and steam.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

This appliance is for household use only and is not user-serviceable.

Do not open or change any parts by yourself. Please refer to a qualified electrical

service department or return to the supplier if servicing is necessary.

Always remember to unplug the unit from the electrical outlet when not in use

and before cleaning.

Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid, or hold it under a

running tap to clean.

To remove stubborn spots/marks, wipe the surfaces with a cloth slightly

dampened in soapy water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry a clean,

dry, soft cloth.

Unplug the stand from the wall socket, and let the kettle cool down before

cleaning.

Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth. You may use a little household

detergent, but if you do, rinse well to avoid tainting the water.

Wipe the stand with a damp cloth.

Keep all connectors and sockets dry.

Do not immerse the kettle or kettle stand in liquid.

Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

We recommend that you descale your kettle regularly, even in soft water areas.

Limescale may be white, coloured, even rusty-looking, but it’s normally visible.

Phosphate scale isn’t generally visible, but there is always a build-up, even in soft water

areas. Any build-up of scale causes overheating, which reduces the life of the element,

and may trigger the boil-dry cut-out to engage. So, even in a soft water area, descale at

least monthly, to help keep your kettle in working order.

To descale your kettle:

Use a descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts). Follow

the instructions on the descaler, then rinse several times, fill, boil and discard the

water, to remove all chemical residues.

Products returned under guarantee with faults related to scale will be subject to a

repair charge.

If you notice your kettle getting noisier –descale it.

Do not rely on visible scale, as phosphate scale isn’t visible. Rather descale the

kettle for preventative purposes.

Don’t try to move or remove the diffuser – you will break it.

Water filter:

Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy

appearance.

The filter will prevent these particles going into your drink. If you see deposits on

the filter, clean it, otherwise the performance of your kettle will drop, your drinks

may contain scale, and the water inside the kettle may look cloudy.

Cleaning the filter:

Check your hands are free from soap, or anything which might leave a taint.

Remove the kettle from the stand.

Remove the lid.

Slide the filter up and out of the guides on either side of the spout.

Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.

Rinse the kettle, in case scale particles have fallen inside.

Slide the filter down into the guides.

STORING THE APPLIANCE

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and clean all the parts as instructed above.

Ensure that all parts are dry before storing.

Store the appliance in its box or in a clean, dry place.

Never store the appliance while it is still wet or dirty.

Never wrap the power cord around the appliance.

SERVICING THE APPLIANCE
