USING YOUR KETTLE

Before first use, please follow these instructions:

1. Remove all packaging and any labels.

2. Fill the kettle to the MAX level. Boil. Discard the water. Repeat this process twice.

TO USE YOUR JUG KETTLE

1. Fill the kettle with water through the spout or through the lid by simply pulling it up to open. The
water level must be between MIN and MAX.

2. Be economical: do not boil more water than needed.

3. To improve the quality of your drinks, always use fresh water.

4. Ensure the lid is closed properly.

5. Plug in the power base and switch the unit on by pressing the ON/OFF switch to position I (the
indicator light will turn on when the kettle is working).

6. Your kettle will switch off automatically when it reaches boiling point. To reboil, simply wait for a
few seconds and click the ON/OFF switch again.

7. Empty the kettle after each use.

8. Your kettle is fitted with a scale filter to hold back limescale particles.

ENGLISH

BOIL DRY PROTECTION

A safety shut-off device will automatically activate if the kettle is accidentally switched on without
any water, or without sufficient water to cover the element, or by allowing to boil dry. Should the
shut-off device be activated, allow your kettle to cool down for a few minutes before refilling to
allow this device to reset. This safety protection is applicable to all models.

CARE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning, unplug your kettle and let it cool down.

1. The outside: Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry.

- Do not use abrasives – it will scratch the plastic surfaces.

- Do not use scouring powder or any other cleaning products as it may discolour your

kettle.

2. The inside: Wipe with sodium bicarbonate on a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly. Even though
your kettle comes with a filter, you still need to clean the inside (and the filter) regularly.

3. The filter: Either rinse under the tap or use a soft brush (or clean with kettle when descaling the
appliance). Rinse thoroughly.

4. In hard water areas it is necessary to remove scale and water deposit markings in the kettle as
this can cause premature activation of the boil dry switch. Various kettle cleaners/kettle
descalers which remove scale and markings are available from supermarkets, pharmacies and
other stores.

DESCALING

1. When limescale builds up on the heating element, buy a suitable descaler and descale your
kettle.

2. Limescale extends the time it takes for your kettle to boil and can cause the element to burn out.
After descaling, boil several times with fresh water and discard water. Remove any descaler
from the kettle as it can damage components.

3. Some regions of the country have chalky water which causes boiled water to look cloudy and
leave a deposit on the outside of the kettle. This is normal and can be removed with regular
cleaning.

4. The warranty will not cover a kettle that is damaged due to not descaling.

5. Discolouration of the inside of the kettle due to water conditions in your area will not be
regarded as a malfunction.

6. It is recommended that you clean your kettle regularly.

ENGLISH

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Kettle switches off before water has boiled.

- Generally caused by scale buildup inside and can be resolved by descaling.

- Alternatively, the kettle may have accidentally been used without water or insufficient water,

causing the safety shut-off device to activate. Reset as explained below.

2. Resetting the boil dry safety shut-off.

- Wait 5 minutes for the kettle to cool and then refill with water. Click the ON/OFF switch. After
about 5 seconds the kettle will automatically reset itself and start to boil.

3. Kettle fails to work.

- Check that the power supply is switched on at the wall socket.

- If the kettle has boiled dry, the safety shut-off may have activated (see paragraph above).

4. Water has a funny taste.

- Generally this only occurs after the first use, and is not a problem if the water boiled before
use is discarded as recommended in the section Using your kettle. If the problem persists, fill
the kettle to the MAX level and add 2 teaspoons of sodium bicarbonate. Boil and discard the
water.

5. Kettle forms scale inside and/or water turns cloudy.

- If you live in a hard water area, this is caused by calcium and magnesium carbonate in the
water, making regular descaling essential. If you wish to find out more about the type of water
in your area, your local water company can advise you on this.
