BEFORE USE

• Remove all packaging from the kettle and power base.

• Remove any labels from the outer stainless steel surfaces.

• Remove the filter (fig. 1) and wash with water (fig. 2). Refer to page 7. “Removing the scale
filter”

• Fill the kettle and boil.

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

• After the kettle has been rinsed out, re-fit the filter (fig. 3).

IN USE
Power base with 360° access

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

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

Filling

• Remove the kettle from the base unit before filling.

• Open lid and fill kettle to desired level.
Do not fill with less than 0,3 litre of water to prevent the kettle running dry while operating;
misuse of this kind will shorten the life of the element.

Do not fill with more than 1.7 litres of water (up to the MAX level). If the kettle is overfilled,
there is a risk that boiling water may be ejected causing burns.
