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!

• 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.

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

Location

• Always keep 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.

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.

• 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 of the unit without
straining the connections.

• Do not let the mains lead hang over the

edge of the worktop where a child
could reach it.

• 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.

outlets in your home are not suitable for the
plug supplied with this appliance the plug
should be removed and the appropriate one
fitted.

IMPORTANT : THE PLUG REMOVED FROM
THE MAINS LEAD, IF SEVERED, MUST BE
DESTROYED AS A PLUG WITH A BARED
FLEXIBLE CORD IS HAZARDOUS IF
ENGAGED INTO A LIVE SOCKET OUTLET.

Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require
changing a 13 amp BS1362 fuse must be
fitted.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.

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).

Using

Filling the kettle

• Wherever possible fill through the

spout, as this helps to free the filter
from limescale build-up.

• Always ensure that the level of water in

the kettle is filled to at least the
minimum level shown on the water
gauge.

• Boil only as much water as you need as

this saves electricity.

Switching it on

• Plug in and switch on at the wall socket.

• Switch the kettle on. The ‘power on’

neon, will light up.

• When the water boils the kettle will

switch off automatically.

• If you are using the kettle for the first

time, pour away the boiled water and
refill.

• 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,
refill and wait a few minutes for the
element to cool, then use as normal.

Descaling

IMPORTANT: This kettle must be descaled
regularly. The frequency of descaling
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.

Alternatively use citric acid crystals
(available from most pharmacies) as
follows.

1. Fill the kettle 3/4 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.

Filter removal (for models fitted
with removable filter)

1 Open the lid.

2 Lift the filter upwards from its location.

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 and the kettle may not switch off
automatically.

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 before
cleaning.

Wipe the outside with a damp cloth.

IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive cleaners
on the outside of the kettle which may
scratch the surface.
