in water or other liquids.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Please use and keep the kettle and its supply cord out of the reach of children.
Warn other users, especially children, of the possible dangers. (eg. Escaping steam,
hot warter, hot lid, etc).
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking o parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance which has been damaged in any way or has a
defective cord or plug. Return it to the nearest authorized service center for
examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in re, electric shock or injury.

and a build-up occurs, it could become dangerous to touch.
Position the kettle to the rear of work surfaces to prevent over hanging of the
power cord. Water can remain hot for a considerable time after boiling and can
present a scald hazard.
Before pouring, wait until the kettle has stopped boiling and then pour steadily. If
the kettle is tipped too much, the lid may fall o or open.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

USE

CLEANING YOUR KETTLE:

Unplug it. Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.

• Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electri-

cal connections or the switch must not come into contact with water.

• Do not use scouring pads.

CLEANING THE FILTER:

The removable lter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent
them falling into your cup when pouring. This lter neither treats nor removes the
hardness of the water. It thus conserves all the qualities of the water. With very hard
water, the lter can clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly.
If it is wet,put it under a running tap, if dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the scale
will not detach itself,it will then need descaling.

• To remove the anti-scale lter, lift the kettle o its base and allow to cool.

Never remove the lter when the appliance is full of hot water.

DE-SCALING:

De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water
is very hard. To de-scale your kettle: using white vinegar:
ll the kettle with 1/2 l of vinegar.

• Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.

using citric acid: boil 1/2 l of water.

• add 25g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.

using a de-scaler specically for plastic kettles: follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.

TO DE-SCALE YOUR FILTER:

Soak the lter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.

• Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.

THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY

As soon as the water reaches boiling point or the chosen temperature. You can stop
it manually, before removing it from its base to pour the water. Depending on the
model, the interior light and the indicator light will go out when the water reaches
boiling point. Make sure that the on/o button is in the o position after boiling and
that the kettle has switched o before removing it from its base.
Throw away the water from the rst two/three uses.
Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quicken the formation of scale.

IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS

THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE

The kettle does not work or stops before coming to the boil
Check that your kettle is properly connected.
The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has
caused the overheat cut-out to operate: allow the kettle to cool and ll it with
water. Descale rst if scale has accumulated.
Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after about 15 minutes.

The water tastes of plastic:

Generally, this happens when the kettle is new, discard the water from the rst few
boilings. If the problem persists, ll the kettle to maximum and add two teaspoons
of bicarbonate of soda. Bring to the boil and discale the water. Rinse out the kettle.

IF YOUR KETTLE HAS BEEN DROPPED, IF IT LEAKS OR IF THERE IS VISIBLE DAMAGE

TO THE POWER CORD, THE PLUG OR THE BASE OF THE KETTLE

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales
service centre or a similarly qualied person, in order to avoid any danger.

PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC ACCIDENTS

For a child, a burn or scald,even if slight,can sometimes be serious.
As they grow up, teach your children to beware of hot liquids to be found in the
kitchen. Position the kettle and its supply cord well to the rear of the work
surface,out of the reach of children.
