Customer Service Telephone: 01273 495888 (UK Only)
The ECO Kettle conforms to the requirements of European Safety
Standards EN60335-2-15, EN60335-1:2002.
EMC Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC and EN50366.
Wiring Instructions
Ensure that the mains voltage marked on the kettle and power base
is the same as your power supply.
If the plug supplied is unsuitable for your mains socket, then it should
be removed, and an appropriate 3-pin plug fitted in accordance with
the following Instructions.
Important: if a “moulded on” plug is removed by cutting the cable, the
plug must be destroyed, as a plug with bared flexible cable attached
is very dangerous if engaged in a live socket.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The wires in the lead supplied are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth; Blue - Neutral; Brown - Live.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may
not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the BROWN lead to the plug terminal marked “L” or
coloured red.
Connect the BLUE lead to the plug terminal marked “N” or coloured
black.
Connect the GREEN/YELLOW lead to the plug terminal marked “E”
coloured green or green and yellow.
If your kettle is fitted with either a moulded on or rewirable plug
incorporating a 13A fuse, in the event of having to replace the fuse,
you must fit a 13A fuse that is ASTA approved to BS1362.
After fitting the fuse in a moulded plug, the fuse cover MUST be
re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug MUST NOT be used until a
replacement is obtained; the fuse cover needs to be coloured to
match the inserts moulded into the base of the plug. Replacement
covers may be obtained from any reputable electrical retailer.

Save water. Save time. Save energy.
Until now, conveniently measuring the correct amount of water to be
boiled in your kettle has not been easy. The result? It is estimated
that, on average, we boil twice the volume of water needed every
time. Which means twice as much energy, twice as much time.
With a 3kW kettle that’s the same as wasting the energy of around 50
light bulbs!
Y
our new ECO Kettle is different: the inter nal
r
eservoir holds a full capacity of water ready for
u
se, and the ECO control knob allows any quantity
– from a single cupful to full capacity – to be
released into the separate chamber for boiling.
The result? Exactly the right amount of water every
time you boil – and no more waste.
In UK consumer trials directed by the Energy Saving Trust, the
ECO Kettle used an average of 31% less energy in normal
everyday use than ordinary kettles.
To take full advantage of the potential of your new ECO Kettle,
please take time to read and follow the instructions in this
booklet, which will explain how the Eco Friendly Technology
works, and how best to care for your new product.
Please pay particular attention to the section dealing with
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, and keep this booklet in a safe
place for future reference.
How to use your ECO Kettle
Carefully unpack the ECO Kettle and its power base, and remove all
packaging materials. Study the illustrations in this booklet to identify
the various parts of the ECO Kettle, and then follow these operating
instructions.
The ECO kettle is
supplied with some of the
mains and cable stowed
in the Power Base.
The cable can simply be
lengthened by releasing it
from the clips.
Every kettle is boil-tested
as part of our quality
assurance procedures
and this may leave small
drops of water inside the
reservoir and boiling
chamber.
Before first use, boil a full
volume of water and
discard to ensure that the
interior of the ECO kettle
is completely clean.
Operation
Check that the control knob is in the
raised position, pull it back, and then
open the hinged lid.
Fill the main reservoir to the MAXIMUM
level and close the lid using a firm
downward pressure. Ensure that the
control knob clicks back into the closed
position and the lid is securely closed.
P
lace the ECO Kettle on its power base
and plug in the power cord to a standard
domestic power socket and switch on.
You are now ready to decide how much
water you wish to boil – from one cup to
the full kettle!
To deliver water to the boiling chamber,
press down firmly on the control knob
until water flows into the boiling chamber.
Watch the water level rise in the front
window until it reaches the required
mark.
For your guidance:
One small cup = 150 to 200ml
One large cup/mug = 200 to 300ml
When the control knob is released
the valve closes and the water in the
boiling chamber is ready to boil.
Always ensure there is enough water to
reach the “Min Fill” mark (approximately
one cup = 200ml).
Never fill above the “Max Boil” mark on
the boiling chamber window as water
may be ejected during boiling.
Switch the ECO Kettle ON by pressing
down the On/Off switch.
The internal light will illuminate to indicate
the ECO Kettle is ON.
When the water has boiled, the ECO
Kettle will switch OFF automatically.
The water can be brought back to the
boil by operating the ON/OFF switch
again. It may be necessary to wait a few
seconds before the switch can be reset.
Do not hold the switch in the “ON”
position as this will damage the
mechanism.
You can simply stop the boiling process
at any time by operating the ON/OFF
Switch to the OFF position.
If at any time you wish to heat all of
the water in the kettle – including the
water contained in the reservoir
simply lock the valve open by pressing
the control knob down firmly and rotating
it clockwise.
D
o not leave the valve in the locked
p
osition as this will prevent your ECO
K
ettle from saving energy and may make
the lid seal less effective.
If the ECO kettle is inadvertently
operated without water in the boiling
chamber an automatic cut out will
operate to protect your ECO kettle. This
can simply be re-set as follows:
Cool the heating element – this can be
quickly be achieved by releasing cool
water from the reservoir into the boiling
chamber.
Wait for a short time for the control to
cool sufficiently and the ECO Kettle will
then be ready for use again.
Top up the reservoir to the maximum
level from time to time as necessary, so
that your ECO Kettle is always ready to
heat the exact amount of water you
require.
To ensure the water in your ECO Kettle
does not get stale, start each day by
discarding any remaining water and
refilling with fresh.
Looking after your
ECO Kettle
The ECO Kettle is provided with a
removable filter in the spout to remove
limescale etc. If it becomes clogged,
remove and clean under running water.
To maintain optimum performance, it will
be necessary from time to time to clean
the ECO Kettle to remove limescale
deposits. This can be achieved simply by
using a proprietary cleaner made
specially for plastic bodied kettles, and
following the makers instructions.
The outside of your ECO kettle should be
kept clean using a damp, soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners as these
will scratch the surfaces.
Never immerse the ECO kettle or its
power base in water.
