PRODUCT SPECIFICATION:

USING YOUR KETTLE
It is important that you read these
instructions before using your kettle for
the first time.
1.
Open the lid of the kettle, fill with
tap water to the desired level. (Min.
capacity is 0.5L and max. capacity
is 1.7L). In hard water areas,
using purified or filtered water is
recommended to reduce the amount
of scale build up in the kettle. (Note:
You may also fill through the spout,
but be careful not to overfill – use
water level gauge to check)
2. Close the lid until it clips. Place the
kettle on the base and plug into the
mains.
3. To switch on the kettle, press the On/
Off switch to position 1. (CAUTION:
Do not place downward pressure
on the switch). When the water has
boiled the kettle will automatically
switch off. You can stop the kettle
at any time by pressing the On/Off
switch to position 0.
4. Pour slowly and carefully. If you wish
to re-boil, please allow a minute for
the kettle to cool down.
Warning:
If the kettle has just boiled it will be full
of steam that will escape if the lid is
opened.
IMPORTANT: Do not open the lid when
steam is coming out of the spout. Before
pouring or filling always
remember to disconnect from electricity.
Note: If the kettle is switched on when
empty or with insufficient water, then the
kettle will switch off automatically to
protect against dry boiling. Wait
±15minutes until the heating element cools
down, refill with tap water and use as
normal. This protection function is not
designed for regular use, as it will shorten
the life of the element. If the kettle is
overfilled, boiling water may
be ejected. The kettle is only to be used
with the stand provided (cordless models
only). The appliance must not be immersed
in liquid during cleaning. If the supply cord
is damaged, the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person must
replace it in order to avoid a hazard.
Cleaning and Maintenance
DESCALING
Always ensure that the kettle is
disconnected from the mains before
descaling. Scaling or furring is a common

the water. Remove the kettle from the
power socket and the base unit and
place it in an empty sink or bowl.
2) Add 50 grams of Citric Acid (Available
from Chemists) or other descaler
products (available at supermarkets)
to the water or as directed.
3) Leave it to stand for approximately
5 minutes or until the effervescence
subsides, and then empty the water.
Rinse thoroughly, and wipe the
