TO USE
1. Place the kettle on a stable, flat, heat resistant surface and
away from surfaces that may be damaged by steam.
2. Fully unwind the cable and plug in. For safety do not allow
the cable to dangle over the edge of units.
3. Remove the kettle from the stand; open the lid by pulling
upwards on the lid pull. Fill to the required level using the
graduated markings on the clear panel as a guide. Do not fill
past the maximum (1.7 litre / 7 cups) or below the minimum
(0.5 litre / 2 cups) level.
4. Close the lid fully (it clicks as it closes) and ensure that the
switch is in the off (0) position (lift switch up) before
replacing on the stand.
5. Turn the kettle so that the spout faces away from you and
switch the kettle on by pressing the switch downwards (I).
The kettle will start to operate and the orange power indicator
lamp in the switch will illuminate.
6. When the water boils, the kettle will switch off automatically
and the indicator lamp will go off.
7. To stop or interrupt the boiling process, switch the appliance
off by lifting the switch up before removing the kettle from
the stand.
Notes:
• Before using for the first time, fill the kettle to the maximum
level, bring to the boil and then discard water. Repeat this
step two further times.
• This kettle is fitted with a safety device that automatically
switches off the heater element if the appliance is
inadvertently switched on when empty or if it boils dry. In
this case allow the kettle to cool completely (minimum 15
minutes) before refilling with cold water. The kettle will
resume operation after refilling.
