a bathroom, near water, or outdoors.

3 Keep the kettle, stand, and cable away from

the edges of worktops.
4 Put the stand on a stable, level surface.
5 Wind excess cable beneath the stand.
6 Unplug the stand when not in use.

household use only

U BEFORE FIRST USE

• Fill to max, boil, discard the water, and rinse.

C FILLING

1 Squeeze the lid lock into the lid to open it.
2 Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not

above max.

3 If you overfill, it may spit boiling water.
4 Close the lid, and press down to lock it.

C SWITCHING ON

5 Plug the stand into the wall socket.
6 Put the kettle on the stand – it glows blue.

7 Press 1 – it glows red, and starts to heat up.

C SWITCHING OFF

8 When it boils, it switches off and glows blue.
9 To switch off manually, press 0.

C GENERAL

10 Pour slowly and don’t over-tilt the kettle.
11 Don’t worry about moisture on the stand.

The steam used to switch the kettle off is

condensed and vented under the kettle.
12 Don’t worry about discolouration on the

floor of the kettle. It’s due to the bonding of

the element to the kettle floor.

F USING WITH INSUFFICIENT WATER

13 This will shorten the life of the element. A

boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.

14 To avoid cycling on and off, take it off the

stand, and leave it to go completely cold.

15 Unplug the stand, and let the kettle cool.
16 Wipe inside and outside with a damp cloth.
17 Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
