ENGLISH

TO USE YOUR KETTLE

1. Fill it through the spout or lid. To open the lid, simply pull up by the lock lid.
The water level must between “MAX” and “MIN”.

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

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

4. Push the lid close firmly until it locks into position.

Note: Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is clear of obstructions and the lid is

firmly closed. The kettle will not turn off if the ON/OFF switch is constrained
or if the lid is left open..

5. Plug the cord into the wall socket, and switch unit on by pressing the on/off
switch to the “I” position (the indicator light will turn on when the kettle is
working).

6. Your kettle will reach boiling point, and switch off automatically. To re-boil,
simply wait a few seconds then reset the on/off switch.

7. To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.
Over tilting the kettle will split the flow, causing a scald hazard.

8. Empty the kettle after each use.

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

BOIL DRY PROTECTION

A safety shut off device will automatically activate should the kettle be
acci

dentally 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 permit this
device to reset. This safety protection is applicable to all models.

CAUTION

1. When using your kettle, please take note that it will get hot when the water
is boiled. Please use the handle to hold the kettle. After the kettle has
switched off automatically (or has been switched off manually) it may need
time to cool down. After 15-20 seconds, the kettle can be switched on
again.

2. It the kettle ever boils dry, allow 15 minutes to cool before refilling with cold
water.

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 – they will scratch the plastic surfaces.

- Do not use scouring powder, or any other cleaning products as they

may discolor 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 when descaling
your kettle, drop the filter in too. 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 operation of the boil dry
switch. There are various kettle cleaners/kettle descalers which remove
scale and markings available from supermarkets, pharmacies, and other

stores.

DESC

ALING

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

2. Limescale makes your kettle take longer to boil and can make the element
burn out. After descaling, boil with fresh water several times and discard.
Clean any descaler off the kettle – it can damage the parts.

3. Some regions of the country have chalky water. This makes boiled water
look cloudy and leaves a deposit on the side of the kettle. This is normal
but can be removed with regular cleaning.

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

5. Discoloration of the internal part 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.

PROBLEM SOLVING

1. Kettle switches off before it has boiled.

- Ge

nerally caused by scale build up inside, and can be resolved by

descaling.

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

insufficient water, causing the safety cutout device to operate. Re-set as
explained below.

ENGLISH

2. Re-setting the boil dry safety shut off.

- Wait 5 minutes for the kettle to cool, and then refill with water. Push the
ON/OFF switch, and after about 25 minutes the kettle will automatically
re-set itself, and start to boil.

3. Kettle does not work.

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

- If the kettle has boiled dry the safety shut off will 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 on the initial use is discarded as recommended in the section
“Before first use”. 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 normal, and is caused by calcium
and magnesium carbonates in the water, and therefore regular descaling
will be essential. If you wish to find out more about the type of water in
your area, your local water company can give you advice.
