instructions

Read the instructions, keep them safe, pass them on if you pass the appliance on.

Remove all packaging before use.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above

and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or

lack of experience and knowledge if they have been supervised/

instructed and understand the hazards involved.

Children shall not play with the appliance.

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children unless

they are older than 8 and supervised.

Keep the appliance and cable out of reach of children under 8.

h The surfaces of the appliance will get hot.

If you overﬁll, the kettle may spit boiling water.

Use the kettle only with the stand supplied (and vice versa).

If the cable is damaged, return the appliance, to avoid hazard.

H Don’t put the kettle, stand, cable, or plug in liquid.

• Keep the kettle, stand, and cable away from the edges of worktops.

• Don’t use the kettle for any purpose other than heating water.

• Use only BRITA® MAXTRA ﬁlter cartridges.

• Don’t operate the appliance if it’s damaged or malfunctions.

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

BRITA® MAXTRA FILTER CARTRIDGE

You can ﬁnd more information about BRITA® ﬁlter cartridges and the BRITA® Memo in

the BRITA® Information Guide supplied with the kettle.

The ﬁlter cartridge contains ion exchange resin and activated carbon.

Reduces limescale and substances, eg. chlorine, that aﬀect taste and odour.

For your wellbeing, reduces metals such as lead and copper that may be present in

your water due to domestic plumbing.

Reducing the impurities makes the water look and taste better, and the reduction in

limescale helps your kettle too.

Replacement cartridges are available in most supermarkets.

Remember – water is a food, it goes oﬀ. Use ﬁltered water within two days.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Press the lid lock, to open the lid.

• Remove the ﬁlter cartridge from inside the kettle, and jump to point 3 below.

PREPARING THE FILTER CARTRIDGE

1. Press the lid lock, to open the lid.

2. To remove a used ﬁlter cartridge, hold the funnel ﬁrmly with one hand, grip the top

of the ﬁlter cartridge with the other hand, and pull the ﬁlter cartridge up and out.

3. Remove all packaging from the new ﬁlter cartridge.

4. Don’t worry if the inside of the packaging is damp – it’s just condensation.

5. There might be black carbon particles in the packaging or on the ﬁlter cartridge.

Don’t worry, they’re harmless.

6. To ensure eﬃcient operation, all air must be removed from the ﬁlter cartridge.

7. Submerge the ﬁlter cartridge in a bowl of cold water and shake it gently till no

more bubbles are released..

8. You may notice some black carbon particles ﬂoating in the water. Again, don’t

worry, they’re harmless.

9. Before ﬁrst use, you must ﬂush the ﬁlter cartridge.

10. Push the ﬁlter cartridge into the funnel till it won’t go any further.

11. Fill the funnel quickly.

12. Fill it again when it empties.

13. This should ﬁll the kettle to about the max mark.

14. Discard the water, and repeat the operation.

15. When you’ve discarded two lots of water, the ﬁlter cartridge is ready for use.

RESET THE BRITA® MEMO

This shows what proportion of the ﬁlter cartridge’s 4 week life is left.

1. Press and hold the START button till all 4 bars appear and ﬂash twice, then let go.

2. Every week, one bar will disappear.

3. When all 4 bars disappear, a ﬂashing arrow will appear at the top of the display.

This means it’s time to replace the ﬁlter cartridge.

4. When the display gets down to one bar, it’s a good idea to check that you’ve got

another ﬁlter cartridge available. If you haven’t, it’s time to buy some.

5. The ﬂashing dot at the bottom right of the display shows that the Memo is

working.

HOLIDAYS

If you haven’t used the kettle for a few days:

• empty the kettle and rinse it out

• ﬂush the ﬁlter cartridge (see points 11-15)

FILLING

1. Press the lid lock, to open the lid.

2. Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not above max.

3. If you overﬁll, the kettle may spit boiling water.

4. Fill the funnel quickly.

5. Fill it again when it empties.

6. This should ﬁll the kettle to about the max mark

7. If the water level is above the max mark, pour some water out of the kettle.

8. Close the lid, and press down to lock it.

USING

1. Put the stand on a stable, level surface.

2. Plug the stand into the wall socket.

3. Put the kettle on the stand.

4. Move the switch to I.

5. The light will come on, and the kettle will heat up.

When the water boils the kettle will switch oﬀ and the light will go out. To switch oﬀ

manually, move the switch to O, or simply lift the kettle oﬀ the stand.

GENERAL

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.

You may see some discolouration on the ﬂoor of the kettle. Again, don’t worry – it’s due

to the bonding of the element to the kettle ﬂoor.

BOIL DRY PROTECTION

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

You must then remove the kettle from its stand to reset the cut-out.

Sit the kettle on the work surface till it’s cold.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Unplug the stand, and let the kettle cool before cleaning.

• Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth.

THE FUNNEL

1. Open the lid.

2. Put your thumbs inside the funnel.

3. Gently press one thumb against either side of the funnel, and lift it out of the kettle.

DISPOSAL

The appliance contains a battery, which must be removed from the appliance, and

recycled, or disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.

Put the end of a screwdriver in the notch above the Memo, and prise it out of the lid.

Your local authority will have arrangements for recycling or disposing of the BRITA®

Memo.
