getting the best from your
new kettle...

• Important:

When filling from a tap, care must be taken to avoid striking the glass
body on the tap.

• 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.

Children

• Children do not understand the dangers

associated with operating electrical

appliances. Never allow children to use

this appliance.

• 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.

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.

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 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.

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,
plug or kettle in water or any 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. Ring the
helpline number for advice on
examination and repair.
