CLEAN YOUR ELECTRIC KETTLE BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Wash the inside of the kettle and lid with mild

detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly. Do not
immerse the kettle or power base in water or any other
liquid. These items are not dishwasher safe.

2. Fill the electric kettle with fresh water to the “MAX”

water level. Boil the water, following the directions
below for use of your kettle.

3. When the water and unit have cooled, discard the

water. Rinse with cold water and repeat.

4. Your electric kettle is now ready for use.

USING YOUR ELECTRIC KETTLE

1. Position the power base on a flat, heat resistant

surface, as close as possible to a power outlet.

2. Follow cord routing in power base according to exit

patterns. Proper cord routing will result in the power
base laying flat when kettle is placed in base. DO not
operate kettle if power base is not flat. If power base
is not flat, remove kettle from power base and repeat
cord placement instructions.

3. To fill with water, press the lid release button to open

the lid. Fill the electric kettle with water to below the
“MAX” water level mark. NOTE: Do not exceed the
“MAX” water level mark indicated on the electric kettle.

4. Plug the electric cord into an electric outlet. Turn the

switch ON by pushing down on the on/off switch.
The indicator light and the bottom of the glass jar will
illuminate to indicate the unit is on. The water will heat
and the electric kettle will switch off automatically
when the water boils. NOTE: Ensure the ON/OFF switch
is clear of obstructions and the lid is firmly closed. The
electric kettle will not turn off automatically if the ON/
OFF switch is constrained, or if the lid is left open.

5. Carefully lift the kettle from the power base and pour
the hot water.

6. The kettle will not re-boil until the on/off switch is again
switched ON. Wait 25 seconds, allowing kettle to cool
down, then switch ON.

IF THE KETTLE DOES BOIL DRY

If the kettle is operated in accordance with instructions
for use, it is unlikely that the kettle will boil dry. However,
in the event that the kettle does boil dry, it is protected
by a boil dry, fail-safe device which will switch the kettle
off automatically on sensing a boil dry situation and keep
it switched off until the kettle is refilled with at least the
minimum amount of water. Always allow the kettle to cool
for half an hour before reuse if the kettle has boiled dry.

Filter instructions

A mesh filter has been integrated into the kettle to reduce
the amount of scale residues entering your beverages or
food. The filter is removable for cleaning. To reduce scale
build-up, empty out any residual water after boiling.
How often the filter should be cleaned will vary according
to where you live and how often you use your kettle.
Filter should be cleaned whenever there are noticeable
deposits left on the filter and especially if the rate of
pouring decreases.

Filter removal/cleaning/refitting

Important: The kettle must be switched off, disconnected
from the power outlet and allowed to cool down
completely prior to removing or refitting the filter. Do not
use excessive force, as this might damage the filter or the
lid.

1. Empty the kettle and lift lid.
