Getting the best from your
new kettle...

Safety first

A

lways pour water slowly and
carefully to prevent the splashing of
scalding water.

E

mpty the water out of the
kettle after first boiling

T

o 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 for 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.
