Breville recommends safety first

We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you,
our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition, we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any
electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions:

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

electric burner, or where it could touch a heated oven.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handle

or button.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table

or counter where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally. Do not let the cord
touch hot surfaces or become knotted.

• This appliance is not intended for use near or by

young children or infirm persons without supervision.

• Young children or infirm persons should be

supervised to ensure that they do not play with
or misuse the appliance.

• Always remove the plug from the power outlet

• Regularly inspect the supply cord, plug and actual

appliance for any damage. If found damaged in any
way, immediately cease use of the appliance and
call Breville Customer Service at 1-866-BREVILLE.

• No user-serviceable parts inside.

• Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Your Breville appliance comes with the unique
Assist™ Plug, conveniently designed with a
finger hole in the power plug, for easy and safe
removal from the outlet. For safety reasons it is
recommended you plug your Breville appliance
directly into the power outlet. DO NOT use in
conjunction with a power strip or extension cord.

Note

ELECTRIC CORD STATEMENT

Your kettle has a short cord as a safety precaution to
prevent personal injury or property damage resulting
from pulling, tripping or becoming entangled with the
cord. Do not allow children to be near or use this
appliance without close adult supervision. If you must
use a longer power cord or an extension cord when
using the appliance, the cord must be arranged so it
will not drape or hang over the edge of a countertop,
tabletop or surface area where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over. To prevent electric shock,
personal injury or fire, the electrical rating of the
extension cord you use must be the same or more
than the wattage of the appliance (wattage is
marked on the underside of the appliance).

Operating your Breville Ikon Cordfree Kettle

Before first use

Remove any promotional material attached to your
kettle. It is recommended that before the first use the
kettle is filled to the maximum level, boiled and
water discarded. Your kettle will only operate when
positioned on the power base with the On/Off switch
in the On position. The kettle will automatically
switch off once the water has boiled.

Operation of your kettle

1. To fill the kettle, remove it from the power

base and open the lid by pressing the lid release
button. Fill with the desired amount of water.
Always fill the kettle between the minimum and
maximum marks on the water window. Too little
water will result in the kettle switching off before
the water has boiled.

2. Ensure that the lid is locked firmly into place.

Place the kettle firmly onto the power base.
Plug the power cord into 110V power outlet.

3. Press the On/Off switch to the ‘On’ position.

The power ‘On’ light and the water guage
will illuminate.

Always fill the kettle between the minimum
(Min) and the maximum (Max) marks on the
exterior of the kettle. Too little water will result
in the kettle switching “Off” before the water
has boiled. Filling above the maximum mark on
the exterior of the kettle may result in boiling
water splashing from the kettle.

This kettle must only be used with the power
base supplied. Use caution when pouring water
from your kettle, as boiling water will scald. Do
not pour the water too quickly.

Note

The kettle will automatically switch ‘Off’ once the
water has boiled. Lift the kettle from the power base
and pour the water. Take care to hold the kettle level,
especially when filled to the maximum level. To
re-boil it may be necessary to wait for a few seconds
to allow the control to reset.

The kettle may be stored on its power base when not
in use. Remove the power cord from the power outlet.

Safety boil dry protection

The kettle is fitted with a safety device, which
protects against overheating should the appliance be
operated with insufficient water. If this occurs the
kettle will stop heating. Switch ‘Off’ at the power
point and allow kettle to cool before refilling. The
safety device will automatically reset when the kettle
has cooled down.

For additional safety your kettle is fitted with an
additional thermal cut out. In the event of
overheating, the kettle will automatically shut down
to prevent further damage. Should this occur, take
your kettle to an authorised Breville Service Center.

Note

THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR THE BOILING OF DRINKING QUALITY WATER ONLY, NEVER
USE IT TO HEAT OR BOIL ANY OTHER LIQUIDS OR FOODSTUFFS. THE LID SHOULD ALWAYS BE

Care and cleaning

Always switch off at the power outlet, and then
unplug the appliance from the power outlet
before cleaning.

Removable filter

The Ikon Cordfree kettle features a removable mesh
filter to filter out scale deposits for cleaner water. To
remove the scale deposits remove the filter by
opening the lid and lifting up and out of the kettle.

The filter can be cleaned by running under hot water
and rubbing with a cleaning cloth or brush.

To replace filter, simply slide the filter down into the
slot behind the spout of the kettle.

Removal of mineral deposits

Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the
kettle interior and water gauge to discolour over
time. This may be removed by using a proprietary
kettle descaler which is available from most
leading supermarkets, department stores and
hardware stores.

Alternatively:

1. Fill the kettle until

and 2 parts water. Boil and allow to
stand overnight.

2. Empty the solution from the kettle. Fill the

kettle with clean water, bring to boil and
discard the water. Repeat and the kettle will
be ready for use.

To clean the exterior

The outside of the kettle may be wiped over with a
damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth.

Do not use chemical, steel wool, or abrasive
cleaners to clean the outside of the kettle.

Note

NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE BASE, SWITCH AREA, POWER BASE OR POWER SUPPLY CORD IN
WATER, OR ALLOW MOISTURE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THESE PARTS.
