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.

Treating scalds

• Run cold water over the affected area immediately. Do not stop to remove clothing, get medical help quickly.

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.
