Keep the appliance well away from hot surfaces, and objects that can be
damaged by heat.
Ensure there is adequate room to operate the kettle and that steam can escape
safely.
Avoid contact with the steam from the spout when the water is boiling or just
after it has switched off.

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.

CONNECTING AND USING THE KETTLE

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. Ensure the power cable exits through the three cut out slot in the

base otherwise the kettle will not be stable.

Pour away previously boiled water and use fresh water to fill the kettle.
Gently pull the kettle release back to open the lid. Fill the kettle to the desired
level through the lid. Close the lid.
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.
Position the filled kettle correctly on the power base.

Boiling the Kettle

Before first use or after storage:

Fill the kettle with fresh water. Boil the water. Pour away the boiled water.
Repeat this two or three times. The kettle is now ready for use.

Switch on the power at the wall socket.

The kettle ON/OFF switch is located below the handle.
Press this down to switch the kettle on. The water gauge
will illuminate showing the kettle is operational.

When the water has reached the desired temperature, the kettle will switch off
automatically. You can stop the boiling at any time by lifting the switch up.
To re-boil, depress the switch again. If the water is very hot, it may be
necessary to wait until the switch resets.
Always ensure the lid is tightly fitted and never lift it while the kettle is boiling
or you run the risk of scalding. If the lid is not correctly fitted 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. Never leave hot water in the kettle while
it is unattended.
After use, replace the kettle on its base.

SAFETY AND OTHER FEATURES

Boil Switch with Auto Cut-Out

When boiling water, do NOT hold the switch down 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 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 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 and open the lid. Press the filter down
on the filter as shown and lift it out.

Brush the filter in running water to remove any adhered scale.
To replace, locate the filter in the recess in the spout and press into place.

CLEANING THE KETTLE: Exterior and base

Switch off at the mains and remove the plug from the socket outlet before
cleaning. The appliance can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

CLEANING THE KETTLE: Scale Filter

Follow the procedure shown under ‘Removeable Scale Filter’

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.

STORAGE

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.
