When boiling water, do NOT hold the switch down or steam
will be ejected from the lid and you may damage the automatic
switch o mechanism. Always ensure that the ON/OFF switch
is clear of obstructions, readily operable and is not prevented
from switching o.
Boil Dry Protection
Your kettle is tted with a safety device which switches it o if
the appliance is operated with insucient water. If this occurs,
the kettle should be switched o at the mains and allowed
to cool thoroughly before relling with cold water. The safety
device will then reset.
Overheating Shut -O

shut down to prevent further damage. Should this occur, take
it to a qualied service person for examination and repair.

DESCALING
In hard water areas furring or lime deposits forming on the

aect the kettle operation. If this deposit is not removed it
can cause damage to the kettle. The scale can be removed
by using an appropriate descaler available from Tesco and
hardware stores or chemists. Follow the instructions with
the descaler. After descaling boil the kettle several times
with fresh water before use. Do not descale too often as
this may shorten the life of the element. Thoroughly clean
the exterior of your kettle to remove any traces of descaler;
failure to do so may damage it.
Do not immerse any part of this appliance in water or other
liquid when cleaning the appliance and never use any
abrasive cleaners or scourers.
