Descaling
IMPORTANT: As this kettle is fitted with a
concealed element it must be descaled as
and when appropriate. This 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 plastic kettles.
We recommend Oust All Purpose Descaler
(please follow the instructions carefully)
which may be purchased from our Helpline
or from your local retailer.
Alternatively, use citric acid crystals
(available from most pharmacies) as follows.
1 Fill the kettle

full, boil, then unplug the
kettle (remove the cordless kettle from
the base unit) and stand it in an empty
sink or bowl.
2 Add 50gm of citric acid crystals to the
water gradually, then leave the kettle to
stand. Do not use a more concentrated
solution.
3 As soon as the effervescence subsides,
empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly
with cold water.
4 Wipe the outside of the kettle thoroughly
with a damp cloth to remove all traces of
acid which may damage the finish.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the electrical
connections are completely dry before
using the kettle.
Cleaning
WARNING: Always disconnect the
plug from the mains and allow the
kettle to cool down before cleaning.
Wipe the outside of the kettle with a
damp cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive
cleaners on the outside of the kettle which
may scratch the surface.

Concealed element kettles
Please read and keep these instructions
getting the best from
your new kettle...
Descale regularly to maintain performance
In hard water areas you should descale your kettle regularly or the
kettle may switch off too early - we recommend Oust descaler
Safety first
Always pour water slowly and carefully to prevent the splashing of
scalding water
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
Water traces in kettle
This kettle has been individually factory tested which may have
left traces of water - this is normal. Discard the water from the
first boil
It’s easier and quicker to fill through the spout
And it helps to free the filter from limescale

Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following of basic common
sense safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of personal
injury and secondly the danger of damage to
property and the appliance. These are
indicated in the text by the following two
conventions:
WARNING: Danger of personal injury
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance
In addition we offer the following
essential safety advice.
Location
• Always locate your kettle away from the
edge of a worktop.
• Ensure that the kettle is used on a firm,
flat surface.
• Do not locate the base unit on a metal
tray or metal surface.
Mains lead
• The mains lead should reach from the
socket to the base unit without straining
the connections. Reduce the length of
the lead by storing the excess in the cord
storage facility in the base unit.
• Do not let the mains lead hang over the
edge of a worktop where a child could
reach it.
• Do not let the lead run across an open
space e.g. between a low socket and
table.
• Do not let the lead run across a cooker or
toaster or other hot area which might
damage the cable.
• Do not place the kettle where the mains
lead could fall into a sink.
Your safety
• Always pour hot water slowly and
carefully without tipping the kettle too
fast to prevent splashing and spillage.
• Extreme caution must be used when
moving a kettle containing hot water.
• Do not touch hot surfaces, use handles
or knobs.
• Always close the lid securely, otherwise
the kettle may not switch off
automatically and may spit out boiling
water.
•Avoid contact with steam from the spout
when the water is boiling or just after it
has switched off.
•Take care if opening the lid for re-filling
when the kettle is hot.
• Do not fill above the MAX mark,
otherwise boiling water may be ejected.
• Do not hold the switch in the on position
or tamper with the switch to fix it in the
on position as this may cause steam to
be ejected and could damage the switchoff mechanism.
• Unplug from outlet before cleaning.
• Allow to cool before putting on or taking
off parts and before cleaning.
Children
Never allow a child to operate this
appliance. Children are vulnerable in the
kitchen particularly when unsupervised and if
appliances are being used or cooking is
being carried out.
Teach children to be aware of dangers in
the kitchen, warn them of the dangers of
reaching up to areas where they cannot see
properly or should not be reaching.
Treating scalds
Run cold water over the affected area
immediately. Do not stop to remove clothing,
get medical help quickly.
Other safety considerations
•To protect against fire, electric shock and
personal injury do not immerse cord,
plugs or kettle in water or other liquid.
• Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner.
• Do not use accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer as
there is the danger of fire, electric shock
or personal injury.
• Do not attempt to connect any other
appliance to the base unit or this
appliance to another base unit.
• Do not tamper with the connector
in any way.

Electrical
requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating plate
of your appliance corresponds with your
house electricity supply which must be A.C.
(Alternating Current).
If the socket outlets in your home are not
suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance, the plug should be removed and
the appropriate one fitted.
WARNING: The plug removed from
the mains lead, if severed, must be
destroyed as a plug with bared flexible
cord is hazardous if engaged into a live
socket outlet.
WARNING: This appliance must be
earthed.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug
require changing, a 13 amp BS1362 fuse
must be fitted.
Using
1 Fill the kettle with water through the
spout.
• Always fill through the spout, as this
helps to free the filter from limescale
build-up.
• The integrated water level gauge/viewing
lid allows you to easily see the amount of
water in the kettle.
• Always put in enough water to cover the
bottom of the kettle.
• Boil only as much water as you need as
this saves electricity.
2 Cordless models
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 convenient
positioning on your worktop.
2 Corded models
Push the mains lead firmly into the kettle.
3 Plug in and switch on at the wall socket.
4 Switch the kettle on. The ‘power on’
indicator neon will light up, in the case of
the Opera jug, the water level indicator
will illuminate from behind.
5 When the water boils, the kettle will
switch off automatically. The Opera jug
will then whistle - see ‘Opera models’.
• 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, wait a few
minutes for the element to cool, then refill
and use as normal.
Mini jug models
The mini jug can be used on voltages
between 110V and 240V AC.
Ensure the correct plug adaptor is used
when operating in a country not using the
UK 13 amp socket system. If in doubt
consult a competent electrician.
• If using the jug on a 110 volt supply, the
water will take considerably longer to
boil.
Opera models
The Opera whistle can be turned on and
off by the switch on the bottom of the
cordless base Ë.
Filter removal
1 Open the lid.
2 Lift the filter upwards from its location
using the tab provided.
3 To refit the filter, slot it into the side wall
guides and press down firmly. Ensure the
filter is correctly located into the central
guide.
WARNING: Unless the filter is fitted
correctly, the kettle lid may not close
and lock securely.
