Using Your Dome Kettle

Before First Use

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

It is recommended 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.

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 boiling cycle has
been completed.

Operation Of Your Kettle

1. To fill the kettle, remove it from the
multi-directional power base and
pull up on the lid to open. Fill with
the desired amount of water. Do
not operate the kettle without
water. Never fill the kettle above
the ‘MAX’ mark, which is indicated
inside the kettle (Fig. 1). Too
much water could result in water
splashing out of the kettle; too
little water will result in the kettle
switching off.

3. Place the kettle firmly onto
the power base and plug the
power cord into a 230V or
240V power outlet.

4. Press the ON/OFF switch to
the‘ON’ position. The power ‘ON’
light 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.

6. 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:

This kettle must only be used
with the multi-directional power
base supplied. Use caution when
pouring water from your kettle as
boiling water will scald. Do not
pour the water too quickly

Fig. 1

2. Ensure that the lid is fit in place
and firmly closed before placing
the kettle on the power base.

NOTE: Never operate the kettle
dry - too little water will result in
the kettle switching off. Do not fill
above the MAX mark as boiling
water may splash out from the
kettle. The ‘MAX’ mark is shown
on the steam tube cap inside
the kettle.

Using Your Dome Kettle continued

NOTE:

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

The kettle may be stored on the multi­directional power base when not in
use. The power should be switched
off at the power outlet and then
unplugged when not in use.

CAUTION: This
appliance is designed
for the boiling of
drinking quality water
only; never use it to heat
or boil any other liquids
or foodstuffs. The lid
should always be firmly
in place and locked
closed before use.

Boil Dry Protection

This 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 the
kettle to cool down before refilling.
Remove the kettle from the power
base and add water. Return the kettle
to the power base. The safety device
will automatically reset.

For additional safety your kettle is
fitted with an additional thermal cut­out. In the event of overheating, the
kettle will automatically shut down
to prevent further damage. Should
this occur, take your kettle to an
authorised Kambrook Service Centre.

CAUTION: Do not
remove the lid while
the water is boiling.
Ensure the lid is closed
whilst boiling.

Care, Cleaning and Storage

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

immerse the kettle base,
switch area, power base
or power supply cord in
water or allow moisture
to come in contact with
these parts.

Cleaning the Exterior
& Removable Filter

The exterior surface 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.

CAUTION: To prevent
damage to the
appliance do not
use alkaline cleaning
agents when cleaning;
use a soft cloth and
mild detergents.

NOTE: Ensure the kettle and
water have cooled down before
attempting to clean the filter.

Mineral Deposits and
Discolouration

Due to the large surface area of the
concealed element interior base,
discolouration due to mineral deposits
will appear more obvious. The mineral
deposits can leave a brown stain on
the base. THIS IS NOT RUST.

To remove the discolouration follow
the cleaning instructions “Removal of
Mineral Deposits”.

Removal of Mineral Deposits

Mineral deposits in tap water may
cause the kettle interior to discolour
over time.

This may be removed by using a kettle
descaler which is available from most
leading supermarkets, department
and hardware stores.

Alternatively: Fill the kettle with 3 cups
of white vinegar and the remainder
