• Fill the kettle to the max level and boil.

• The boiled water should be discarded and the kettle
rinsed out with cold water. This procedure should be
carried out twice to remove any manufacturing dust,

4

etc.

• After the kettle has been rinsed out, ret the lter
(g.3).

3

Using the kettle

With the specially designed power base and central
connector, you can now set the kettle on the base at any
angle, from any position.

• Release the cord from the storage base and adjust the
length by winding around the base to give the correct
cord length to reach the plug socket to be used (g. 4).

• Do not leave loose cord hanging over the edge of work
surfaces.

5

• The power-on indicator lights will illuminate.

• The kettle will automatically switch o once the water
is boiled (the ON/OFF switch will click upwards and the
lights will switch o ).

• To turn the kettle o before the water boils, you may
move the ON/OFF switch up to the OFF position, or
simply lift the kettle from its base - it will switch o and
the switch will return to the OFF position automatically.

Pouring

• Remove the kettle from the power base and carefully
pour out the water. Do not tilt the kettle suddenly or
pour water out at too sharp an angle.

• When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see
moisture on the top surface of the base. Condensation
on the base is perfectly normal, and should not be a
cause for alarm.

4

Filling

• Remove the kettle from the base unit before lling.

• Remove the lid and ll the kettle to the desired level.
Do not ll with less than 0.3 litres of water (min

level) to prevent the kettle running dry while in use;
misuse of this kind will shorten the life of the element.

Do not ll with more than 1.5 litres of water (max.

level).

If the kettle is overlled, there is a risk that

boiling water may overow and cause burns.

• To close the lid, push it onto the kettle body until it clicks
rmly into place.

• The water level indicator enables you to see the quantity
of water in the kettle.

Switching on

• Plug the power base into the mains socket.

• Place the kettle on the power base.

• Push the ON/OFF switch down (g.5) to switch the
kettle on.

SAFETY DEVICES

1) Automatic ON/OFF switch

Your kettle is tted with an ON/OFF switch which

automatically switches o once the water has boiled.
If the kettle has just boiled, wait a minute or so before
re-boiling the kettle. Do not attempt to hold the ON/
OFF switch in the “on” position or adjust the switch
mechanism.

2) Safety cut-out

If the kettle is switched ON with too little or no water, it

is protected against damage by a safety cut-out device
which will switch o the power.

If this cut-out operates, disconnect the kettle from the

mains supply and leave to cool down before relling
with cold water (otherwise the element could be
damaged).

It will reset automatically when cooled down.

3) If the kettle is lifted from base while operating (ON), it
will automatically switch o.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the kettle

• Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the
appliance from the mains before cleaning.

• ONLY USE WATER FOR CLEANING.

• Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.

• Use a soft dampened cloth to wipe the outside of the
kettle and dry with a soft, dry cloth.

• DO NOT use harsh scouring agents.

• Ensure that all electrical connectors and sockets are kept
dr y.

Scale

Scale is mainly calcium carbonate (chalk), a harmless,
naturally occurring mineral found in most water supplies.
“Hard” water contains more of this mineral than “soft” water.
When the water is heated, the minerals in the water solidify,
making the water appear cloudy.
These minerals form a thin lm on the walls, element and on
the surface of the water.
The water may look like it has white coloured pieces of plastic
oating on the surface.
On traditional kettle elements, scale forms a hard white
“crust” which adversely aects performance and reduces the
life of the element.
As soon as you notice a lm forming on the water, or on the
interior walls of the kettle, simply rinse the kettle and wipe
it out.

• Rinse under a tap while brushing with a soft brush (g.

2).

• Replace the lter rmly down.

Descaling

It is vital to clean and descale the kettle and lter regularly in
order to maintain it in good working order. Failure to descale
your kettle may invalidate your guarantee.

• It is recommended to use specic (store bought)
products for descaling of kettles.

• When limescale starts to build up on the heating
element, buy a suitable descaler and descale your
kettle. After descaling, boil with fresh water several
times and discard. Clean any descaler o the kettle – it
can damage the parts.

• If the lter requires descaling, remove the lter and
place into the kettle whilst descaling.

• Ensure that the electrical connections are completely
dry before using the kettle.

Scale lter

Your kettle is tted with a scale lter to prevent loose
particles of scale being poured into your beverage. This lter
is both removable and washable.
The frequency with which you will need to clean any scale
deposits from your lter will depend on the hardness of water
in your area and how often you use the kettle.
You should remove and clean the water lter when you notice
any deposits being left on the lter or if the pouring eciency
is impaired.

Removing the scale lter

• Allow the kettle to cool down fully.

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains electrical
supply.

• Make sure that your hands are clean and free from soap,
etc or anything which might taint the water.

• Empty the kettle and remove the lid. Remove the lter
by lifting up (g. 1).
