Before using for the rst time

Remove any packaging and promotional material from your kettle and
position it on a stable, secure, dry and level work surface away from the
edge.

Before connecting to a power source, make sure your mains supply
voltage is the same as the one indicated on the appliance. Connect the
plug to a suitable power outlet and make sure that the power cord does
not overhang the work surface. Excess power cord can be stored in the
power base.

Fill your kettle to the maximum mark and close the lid.

•

Place the kettle back onto the power base. Switch the kettle on, allow

•
it to boil then discard the water. Repeat twice. This will remove any
residue left over from the manufacturing process.

Using your kettle

If this kettle is lled above the maximum level mark, hot

water may be ejected from the spout during boiling. Beware of

steam coming from the spout or lid especially during relling.
Never open the lid when the kettle is boiling.

With the kettle switched off, plug the power base into a suitable

1.
power outlet.

Remove the kettle from the power base before lling it with water.

2.

Do not ll the kettle through the spout.

Fill the kettle with water. Don’t overll the kettle and always ensure

3.

that there is sufcient water in the kettle for it to operate correctly.

This is approximately 250ml or 1 teacup full. Always check the
water level when the kettle is positioned on its power base.

Make sure that the lid is closed correctly to ensure safe operation.

4.

When the kettle is switched on, the water level window will

5.
illuminate.

When the water reaches boiling point, the kettle will switch off

6.
automatically.

You may also switch the kettle off manually at any time by moving

7.
the switch to the off position.

Always use caution when carrying or pouring water from your

kettle when it is full of hot or boiling water.

If your kettle boils dry

If the kettle is operated with insufcient water a built in fail-safe device

will automatically switch off the kettle.

Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool. When the kettle has cooled

•

down sufciently the device will reset itself.

Once the device has reset, rell the kettle with cold water and use

•
it as normal.

Energy saving hints and tips

A Breville kettle, if used correctly, is a very energy efcient device.

Why not try some of these energy saving tips:

Only boil the water you need. Overlling your kettle by one cup is

•
the equivalent to using an energy saving light bulb for one hour!

It is not always necessary to re-boil your kettle. For example, one

•

litre of water will still be at 90°C after ve minutes - the perfect

temperature for a cup of coffee.
