Getting the best from your new kettle...
Safety first
Always pour water slowly and carefully to prevent the splashing
of scalding water.
Empty the water out of the kettle after first boiling
To clean away any deposits that are left in the kettle after the
manufacturing process.
Descale as appropriate for the hardness of the water in your
area
It is important to descale as the performance of the kettle and
auto switch-off will be impaired.
Fast boil kettles perform differently
If your kettle is a fast boil model, it may sound louder during
boiling and switch off suddenly with no after noise - this is
normal.
The quiet element
This kettle has a quiet element to reduce noise when boiling.
Please note that there will still be a small amount of noise
emitted by this kettle during the boiling process.
