Russell hobbs 11521, JUG KETTLE User Manual

water filter

Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a
cloudy or greasy appearance. The filter will prevent
these particles going into your drink. If you see deposits
on the filter, clean it, otherwise the performance of
your kettle will drop, your drinks may contain scale,
and the water inside the kettle may look cloudy.

cleaning the filter

Check your hands are free from soap, or anything which
might leave a taint.
Switch the kettle off — press the switch down (O).
Let it cool down fully.
Open the lid.
Grip the top of the filter and pull it up and out of its
grooves.
Brush it with a soft brush, under a running tap
Rinse the kettle, in case any scale particles have fallen
inside.
To replace, simply slide the filter back down the
grooves on either side of the spout. Don’t push on the
mesh you’ll damage it.
Close the lid.

Read the instructions and keep them safe.
Pass them on if you pass the kettle on.
Remove all packaging, but keep it till you’re
satisfied the kettle is working.

important safeguards

Follow basic safety precautions, including:

1.Don’t put the kettle, power base, cable,
or plug in any liquid; don’t use the kettle
in a bathroom, near water, or outdoors.

2.This kettle must only be used by or
under the direct supervision of a responsible adult.

3.Don’t touch hot surfaces. Use handle and release.

4.Don’t open the lid while the water is heating.

5.Take care when pouring — pour slowly, and don’t
over-tilt the kettle.

6.The scald hazard lasts long after boiling. Keep the
kettle, power base, and cable away from the edges
of worktops and out of reach of children.

7.Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang and can’t be
caught accidentally or tripped over. Wind excess
cable beneath the power base.

8.Unplug the power base when not in use, before
repositioning and before cleaning. Let the kettle
cool down fully before cleaning and storing away.

9.Check the lid is properly closed before switching the
kettle on, otherwise it may not switch off.

10.Check the kettle is properly located on the power
base before switching on.

11.Don’t switch on unless the kettle contains at least 2
cups of water.

12.Don’t fill past max, or it may spit boiling water.

13.Remove the kettle from its power base before filling
or pouring.

14.Keep the kettle, power base, cable, and plug away
from sources of heat.

15.Don’t use the kettle for any purpose other than
heating water.

16.Use the kettle only with the power base supplied
(and vice versa).

17.Don’t use the kettle if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
If the power base or cable is damaged, replace the
power base, in order to avoid hazard.

household use only

before using for the first time

Fill to max, boil, discard the water, then rinse, do this
three times to remove manufacturing dust, etc.

positioning

Sit the power base on a stable, level surface. Route the
cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be caught or
tripped over.

filling
warning

Keep clear, steam will escape from the lid.
Switch the kettle off — press the switch down (O).
Remove the kettle from the power base.
Squeeze in the lid release and pull the lid back.
Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not above max.
If you overfill, it may spit boiling water.
Close the lid and press down to lock it. Check it’s
closed, or the kettle won’t switch off when it boils.

switching on

Switch the kettle off — press the switch down (O).
Plug the power base into the wall socket. If necessary,
switch the socket on.
Gently position the kettle on the power base — take
care not to spill.
Flip the switch up (I). The light will come on, and the
kettle will heat up.

switching off

When the water boils the kettle will switch off, the
switch will return to “off” and the light will go out.
To switch the kettle off manually, press the switch
down (O).

general

Remove the kettle from the power base before pouring.
To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don’t
over-tilt the kettle.
Don’t tilt the kettle backwards, water might get on to
the control area. If this happens, let the kettle dry
before use — sit it somewhere warm for 12 hours.
When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the
power base. Don’t worry — it’s the steam used to
switch off automatically, which then condenses and
escapes via vents under the kettle.
You may see some discolouration on the floor of the
kettle. Again, don’t worry — it’s due to the bonding of
the element to the kettle floor.

insufficient water

This will shorten the life of the element. A boil-dry cut­out will switch the kettle off. You must then remove
the kettle from its power base to reset the cut-out.
Sit the kettle on the work surface till it’s cold.
Don’t fill it till it’s cold, or it may spit.

care and maintenance

Switch the kettle off — press the switch down (O).
Unplug the power base from the wall socket, and let
the kettle cool down fully before cleaning.
Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth. You
may use a little household detergent, but if you do,
rinse well to avoid tainting the water.
Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
Don’t put the kettle or power base in any liquid.
Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

scale

Scale deposits may be white, coloured, or even rusty.
They overheat the element, reduce its working life, and
make the boil-dry cut-out operate prematurely.
As the element is mounted under the kettle, there are
no nooks and crannies to give the scale a foothold. It
can build up only where it can be seen and dealt with.

minimise scale build-up

Rinse the kettle with clean water and wipe its walls if
you see scale in the kettle, or a film on the water.
Empty the kettle after use. Descale frequently — how
often depends on the hardness of your water. Use a
descaler suitable for use in plastic products (even metal
kettles have plastic parts). Follow the instructions on
the descaler, rinse several times, then fill, boil and
discard the water, to ensure no residues are left.
nb Products returned under guarantee with faults due

to scale will be subject to a repair charge.
