getting the best from your
new kettle...

• 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.

• 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.

Important safety

instructions

The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following common sense safety
rules.

Primarily there is danger of injury or
death and secondly the danger of damage
to the appliance. These are indicated in the
text by the following two conventions:

WARNING: Danger to the person!

IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance!
In addition we offer the following safety
advice.

Location

• Always locate your kettle away from the

edge of the worktop.

• Ensure that the kettle is used on a firm,

flat surface.

• Do not use the kettle outdoors or in a

bathroom.

•WARNING: Do not place the kettle

onto a metal tray or metal surface
whilst in use.

Personal 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 damage to
the switch-off mechanism.

• Unplug from the outlet before cleaning.

• Allow to cool before putting on or taking
off parts and before cleaning.

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 the 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.

Children

• Children do not understand the dangers
associated with operating electrical
appliances. Never allow children to use
this appliance.
