OPERATING YOUR KAMBROOK
STAINLESS STEEL 1.5L KETTLE

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove any packaging material and
promotional labels before using the kettle for
the first time.

It is recommended that before the first use to
fill the kettle to the maximum level with cold
tap water, bring to the boil and then discard
the water. (TIP: add a few slices of lemon for a
fresher scent). Your kettle will only operate
when positioned on the power base with the
ON/OFF switch in the ON position. The
kettle will automatically switch off once the
water is boiled.

OPERATION OF YOUR KETTLE

1. To fill the kettle with water, remove it from
the power base and open the lid by pressing
the lid release button on top of the handle.
The lid will automatically open. Fill with the
desired amount of water. Do not operate
the kettle without water. Always fill the
kettle between the minimum and maximum
marks on the water window. Too little water
will result in the kettle switching off.

2. Ensure that the lid is closed and locked firmly
into position before placing the kettle on the
power base.

3. Place the kettle firmly onto the power base.
Plug the cord into a 230 /240V power outlet
and switch on.

4. Press the ON/OFF switch down to the
‘ON’ position. The water level window will
illuminate.

5. The kettle will automatically switch off once
the water has boiled. Lift the kettle from
the power base and pour the water. Take
care to hold the kettle level, especially when
filled to the maximum level. To re-boil it may
be necessary to wait for a few seconds to
allow the control to reset.

The kettle should be stored on its power base
when not in use. The power outlet should be
switched off and the power cord unplugged
from the power outlet when not in use.

NOTE:

Never operate the kettle dry - too little

water will result in the kettle switching off.

Do not overfill the kettle - filling above the
maximum mark on the water window may
result in boiling water splashing from the
kettle.

NOTE:

This kettle must only be used with the

power base supplied. Use caution when pouring
water from your kettle as boiling water will scald.
Do not pour water too quickly.

NOTE: DO not remove the kettle from the power
base during operation. Ensure the kettle has
switched to ‘OFF’ position after the water has
boiled before removing the kettle from the power
base.

WARNING : This appliance is designed
for the boiling of drinking quality water only.
Never use it to heat or boil any other liquids
or foodstuff. The lid should always be firmly in
place when using.

WARNING : Do not release the lid while
the water is boiling. Ensure the lid is closed
whilst boiling.

SAFETY BOIL DRY PROTECTION

The kettle is fitted with a safety device, which
protects against overheating should your
appliance be operated with insufficient water.
If this occurs the kettle will stop heating and
automatically switch off.

Should this occur, switch off at the power
outlet and unplug. Allow kettle to cool before
refilling. When the kettle has cooled down, the
safety device will automatically reset when the
kettle has cooled down.

CARE AND CLEANING

Always switch appliance off, then switch off
at the power outlet and then unplug before
cleaning the appliance.

CLEANING THE KETTLE EXTERIOR

The outside stainless steel surface of the kettle
may be wiped over with a damp cloth and
polished with a soft, clean dry cloth.

NOTE:

Do not use chemicals, steel wool, or

abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the kettle.

WARNING : NEVER IMMERSE THE
KETTLE BASE, SWITCH AREA, POWER
BASE, POWER SUPPLY CORD OR POWER
PLUG IN WATER OR ALLOW MOISTURE
TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THESE
PARTS.

CLEANING THE REMOVABLE FILTER

The Kambrook Stainless Steel 1.5L Kettle
features a removable mesh filter to filter out
scale deposits for cleaner water. To remove
the scale deposits, remove the filter by opening
the lid of the kettle. Pull the filter firmly to
remove.

The filter can be cleaned by running under hot
water and rubbing with a soft cleaning cloth
or brush. To replace the filter, simply press
the filter down firmly into the slot behind the
spout of the kettle.

TIP: The filter could become damaged with
time, please check regularly and replace if found
damaged

MINERAL DEPOSITS AND
DISCOLOURATION

Due to the large surface area of the concealed
element interior base, discolouration due to
mineral deposits from tap water may appear
more obvious by leaving a brown stain on the
base. THIS IS NOT RUST.

To remove the discolouration, follow the
instructions “Removing mineral deposits”.

REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS

Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the
kettle interior and water window to discolour
over time. This may be removed by using a
proprietary kettle descaler which is available
from most leading supermarkets, department
stores and hardware stores.

ALTERNATIVELY:

1. Fill the kettle until ²/
³

full with 1 part vinegar
(or a few slices of lemon) and 2 parts water,
bring to the boil and allow to stand
overnight .

2. Empty the solution from the kettle. Fill
the kettle with clean water, bring to boil and
discard the water. Repeat and the kettle will
be ready for use.

WARNING : Never immerse the kettle
base, switch area, power base, power supply
cord or power plug in water, or allow moisture
to come into contact with these parts.

STORAGE

Ensure the kettle is switched off, cleaned and
dried before storing. Ensure that the lid is
closed and locked firmly into place.

Wrap the power cord around the cord
storage under the power base. Stand the
kettle upright on the power base. Do not
store anything on top.
