Using
Filling the kettle
1 Wherever possible fill through the spout, as this helps to free the
filter from limescale build-up.
• The integrated water level indicator allows you to easily see the
amount of water in the kettle.
• Always ensure that the level of water in the kettle is filled to at least
the minimum level shown on the water gauge. Should your kettle
not have a water gauge, always ensure that the element is covered.
• Boil only as much water as you need as this saves electricity.
2 Place the kettle on the base unit, ensuring the kettle locates on to the
360° connector.
• The 360° connector allows the kettle to be located at any position. ideal for left and right handed users and for convenient positioning
on the worktop.
3 Plug in and switch on at the wall socket.
4 Switch the kettle on. The ‘power on’ neon will light up.
5 When the water boils the kettle will switch off automatically.
• If you are using the kettle for the first time, pour away the boiled
water and refill.
6 Lift the kettle from the base unit by the handle ensuring you hold the
kettle level.
• To re-boil, switch to ON again. If the kettle has just switched off wait
a minute or so before switching it back on again.
• If you do not put in enough water, or switch on the kettle when it is
empty, the safety cut-out will switch off the power automatically. If
this happens, refill and wait a few minutes for the element to cool,
then use as normal.
Filter removal
1 Open the lid.
2 Lift the filter upwards from its holder.
3 To refit the filter, slide it into the side wall guides of the filter holder
until it clicks into place.
WARNING: Unless the filter is fitted correctly, the kettle lid may
not close and lock securely.
Descaling
IMPORTANT: As this kettle is fitted with a concealed element it must
be descaled regularly. The frequency of descaling depends on usage
and the hardness of the water in your area.
Excessive scale can cause the kettle to switch off before boiling and
may damage the element invalidating the warranty.
It is essential that regular descaling takes place.
Remove hard scale using a proprietary descaling product suitable for
stainless steel kettles.
Alternatively use citric acid crystals (available from most
pharmacies) as follows.
1 Fill the kettle 3/4 full, boil, then unplug the kettle (remove the
cordless kettle from the base unit) and stand it in an empty sink or
bowl.
