USE & CARE
SQPro Senza Electric Kettle
Before using for the first time
1 Fill to maximum, boil, discard the water,
then rinse. Do this 3 times, to remove
manufacturing dust, etc.
Positioning
1 Put the stand on a stable, level surface.
2 Route the cable so it does not overhang,
and cannot be tripped over or caught.
3 Wind excess cable beneath the stand.
Switching on
1 Put the kettle on the stand – take care not
to spill.
2 Plug the stand into a power socket (switch
the socket on, if it’s switchable).
3 Move the switch to ON – the light will glow,
and the kettle will heat up.
Switching off
1 When the water boils, the kettle will switch
itself o, and the light will go out.
2 To switch o manually, move the switch to
OFF.
3 Lifting the kettle o the stand will also
switch it o.
General
1 Remove the kettle from the stand before
pouring.
2 To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly
and do not over-tilt the kettle.
3 Do not tilt the kettle backwards – water
might get on to the control area.
4 If this happens, let the kettle dry before
use – sit it somewhere warm for 12 hours.
5 When you lift the kettle, you may see
moisture on the stand. Do not worry – it’s
the steam used to switch the kettle o
automatically, which then condenses and
escapes through vents under the kettle.
6 Discolouration may occur on the oor of
the kettle, and is due to the bonding of the
element to the kettle oor.
Using insufficient water
1 This will shorten the life of the element.
2 A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle o.
3 To avoid cycling on and o, you must
remove the kettle from the stand and let it
cool down.
Care and maintenance
1 Check that the kettle is switched o.
2 Unplug the stand (switch the socket o
rst, if it’s switchable), and let the kettle
cool down fully.
3 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.
4 Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
5 Do not put the kettle or stand in liquid.
6 Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning
agents or solvents.
Descale - even in soft water areas
1 Limescale may be white, coloured, even
rusty-looking, but it is normally visible.
2 Phosphate scale is not generally visible,
but it is there, even in soft water areas.
3 All scale causes overheating, reduces the
kettle’s life, and may trigger the boil-dry
cut-out.
4 To keep your kettle in working order,
descale at least once a month.
5 Use a descaler suitable for plastic products
(all kettles have plastic parts).
6 Follow the instructions provided with the
descaler, rinse several times, then ll,
boil and discard the water, to ensure no
residues are left.
7 Products returned under guarantee with
faults due to scale will be subject to a
repair charge.
