DESCRIPTION

PRELIMINARIES

Unpack your kettle and any accessories carefully. Retain the packaging
so that you can transport the appliance safely. If you dispose of it please
do so with regard to any recycling regulations in your area.

Before using your kettle:

Check that the voltage marked on the rating plate under the kettle or the
base matches your mains voltage.
Please read all the instructions in this User Guide with particular
reference to the safety notes.

Before first use or after storage:

Fill the kettle with fresh water, boil it and then pour away the boiled
water. Repeat this two or three times. The kettle is now ready for use.

CONNECTING AND USING THE KETTLE

IMPORTANT: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

Separate the kettle from the base.
Ensure that the mains socket is switched off at the wall. Lead the power
cord out through the recess in the base. Place the kettle base on a stable
level surface and connect the power cord to the wall socket. Excess cord
may be safely stowed by feeding it carefully into the stowage
compartment in the base.
Press the lid release back and then open the lid.
Pour away previously boiled water and use fresh water to fill the kettle.
Fill the kettle carefully. The water level must always cover the lowest
mark on the gauge. Do NOT fill the kettle above the MAX mark (1.7
litres) or boiling water may be ejected. If you cannot see the water level
through the scale, the level is incorrect.
Press the ON/OFF switch down (O position).
Position the filled kettle correctly on the power base.
Switch on the power at the wall socket. Press the
ON/OFF switch up (I position). The switch will
illuminate showing the kettle is operational.
When the water has boiled, the kettle will switch off automatically. You
can stop the boiling at any time by pressing the switch down.
To re-boil, depress the switch again. If the water is very hot, it may be
necessary to wait a few seconds before the switch can be reset.
Always ensure the lid is closed and never lift it while the kettle is boiling

or you run the risk of scalding. If the lid is left open while boiling, the
automatic cut-out will not operate and you may boil the kettle dry.After
boiling, switch off the appliance at the mains.
The kettle may now be safely removed from its base and the boiled water
poured out. Always take care to pour boiling water slowly and carefully
without tipping the kettle too quickly.
After use, replace the kettle on its base.

SAFETY AND OTHER FEATURES

Boil Switch with Auto Cut-Out

When the switch is depressed, the switch illuminates to shows that the
kettle is operational. After boiling, the kettle is automatically switched
off and the illumination extinguished.

Note: When boiling water, do NOT hold the switch up or steam will be
ejected from the lid and you may damage the automatic switch off
mechanism. Always ensure that the ON/OFF switch is clear of
obstructions, readily operable and is not prevented from switching off.

Boil Dry Protection

Your TESCO kettle is fitted with a safety device which switches it off if the
appliance is operated with insufficient water. If this occurs, the kettle
should be switched off at the mains and allowed to cool thoroughly
before refilling with cold water. The safety device will then reset.

Overheating Shut -Off

In the event of gross overheating, your TESCO kettle will automatically
shut down to prevent further damage. Should this occur, take it to a
qualified service person for examination and repair.

Removable Scale Filter

The mesh filter in the kettle spout traps scale. If you fill the kettle via the
spout, the effectiveness of this filter will be reduced.

To remove the filter, allow the kettle to
cool, open the lid, hold the filter as
shown and lift it out.
Brush the filter in running water to
remove any adhered scale.
To replace, align the filter in the slot in
the spout and press into place.

DESCALING

In hard water areas furring or lime deposits forming on the concealed
element may result in increased boiling time and affect 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.

Excess cord can be stowed by feeding the cord into the storage cavity in
the base of the unit. When not in use the kettle should be stored on its
base out of the reach of children and pets.
