BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Fill the kettle with water to the ‘max’ level, boil, discard the water, and then rinse. Do this three
times, to remove any dust, residues, etc., from the kettle.
• Ensure the lter is in place; otherwise the kettle may not switch off and water may be
ejected from the spout.
POSITIONING
• Place the base on a stable, level surface.
• Route the cable so it does not overhang, and cannot be caught or tripped over.
• Wind excess cable beneath the base.
FILLING
Caution: If the kettle has just boiled it will be full of steam. Keep hands clear as steam
will escape from the kettle when opening the lid.
• Remove the kettle from the power base.
• Push the lid release button.
• Fill the kettle with at least 2 cups of water.
• Do not ll above the ‘max’ line. If overlled, boiling water may be ejected from the spout.

will illuminate.
• Place the kettle on the power base – take care not to spill any water.
• Press the desired temperature button.
• The button will ash and the kettle will heat up simultaneously.

ashing light will change to solid light.
• To switch off manually, press the illuminated temperature button or lift the kettle from the
power base and replace it.
Note: If activated, it is necessary to deactivate the keep warm function prior to switching off.

• The temperatures available are: 100°, 95°, 90°, 80° and 70° (°C).
Note: When selecting temperatures below 100, you may hear the element pulse on, off
and on again as it works to control the temperature accurately.
• Once the kettle reaches the set temperature, the kettle will beep twice to indicate it is ready.
KEEP WARM
NOTE: The 'Keep Warm' Function only operates for temperatures 70°, 80°, 90° and
95°, and does not operate with 100°C to prevent the kettle from boiling dry.

• If the kettle is accidently switched on when it does not contain sufcient water, a boil-dry
cut-out will switch the kettle off.
• If the boil dry cutout has activated, the kettle will not function until it has cooled.
• Sit the kettle on a stable heat resistant surface until it has fully cooled down.
• Do not ll the kettle with water until it is cold, or it may eject hot water.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Remove the plug from the wall power outlet.
• Allow the kettle to cool down fully.
• Wipe over the outside of the kettle and power base with a damp cloth. A mild dishwashing
detergent may be used if required.
• Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
• Do not immerse the kettle or power base in liquid.
• Do not use alkaline cleaning agents or harsh abrasives when cleaning this appliance.
• Clean the inside of the kettle using the instructions in the “DE-SCALE REGUL ARLY”
section.
DE-SCALE REGUL ARLY – EVEN IN SOFT WATER AREAS
Water contains minerals that will form deposits on the inside of your kettle, commonly referred
to as scaling. Scaling discolours the internal surfaces and can affect the performance.
To maintain the performance of your kettle, it should be de-scaled every three months or so.
De-scale more frequently if you live in a hard water area.
• Add 2 to 3 teaspoons of citric acid or a commercial de-scaler to the empty kettle.
• Fill the kettle with fresh cold water to the MAX level mark on the water gauge.
• Select the 100°C button and allow the kettle to boil.
• Once the water has boiled, allow the kettle to cool and then discard the water into the sink.
RINSE AFTER DE-SCALING
• Fill the kettle with fresh cold water to the MAX level mark on the water gauge.
• Select the 100°C button and allow the kettle to boil.
• Discard the water into the sink.
• Repeat the rinsing process as required, discarding the water in the kettle each time.
NOTE: Products returned under warranty with faults due to scale may be subject
to a repair charge.
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. Remove and clean the filter regularly.
CLEANING THE FILTER
• Check your hands are free from soap, hand cream, or anything which might leave a
taint.
• Remove the plug from the wall power outlet.
• Allow the kettle to cool down fully.
• Push the lid release button.
• Using the tab at the top of the lter pull the lter up and out of its housing.
NOTE: Take care not to press on the mesh part of the filter – you may damage it.
• Rinse the lter under a running tap whilst brushing with a soft brush.
• Rinse the kettle in case scale particles have fallen inside.
• Turn the lter so the tab at the top of the lter faces the rear of the kettle.
• Slide it down into the triangular lter housing guide so the clip is in place. Push the
tab into place and ensure this is in place.
• Rell the kettle and close the lid.
Caution: Do not use the kettle without the filter in place – it may eject boiling
water.

Please recycle this product at end of life.

is disposed of through controlled recycling facilities and must not be disposed of in general
household waste. For more information about recycling of electrical and battery operated
appliances, please contact your local council or your local household waste disposal service.
