preparing the cartridge
1 Remove wrapper and immerse the cartridge in cold
water. Gently agitate the cartridge until the air bubbles
cease and leave to soak for 10 minutes
ᕡ.
2 Open the flip top lid and insert the cartridge into the
hopper and press gently to seal.
3 Fill the hopper from the tap and allow the water to filter.
Discard the filtered water
ᕢ. Repeat.
4 To set the cartridge life indicator press and hold the
button until (30) appears on the display
ᕣ.
5 The display will countdown automatically. When the
display reaches ‘05’ the display will start flashing until it
reaches ‘00’ to indicate that the cartridge should be
changed
ᕤ. If the display is blank, repeat step 4.
to use your water filter jug kettle
1 Open the flip top lid and fill the hopper. Never fill the
kettle or hopper above the maximum mark - kettle
1.2 litre and hopper 1 litre. Minimum amount of water
for boiling 500mls.
● The kettle is designed to filter and boil water at the
same time, to take advantage of the “Aquaflow”
technology, fill and boil a maximum of 1 litre at a time. If
you intend to filter and boil more than 1 litre, allow the
water to filter through the cartridge first and then switch
on to boil the water.
● To improve the quality of your drinks always use fresh
water.
● Empty the kettle after each use.
2 Check the lid is closed.
3 Plug in and switch on. The kettle will automatically filter
the water and then switch to boiling.
● During filtering the indicator light will glow blue.
● During boiling the indicator light will glow orange.
4 Your kettle will boil and switch off automatically. To re-
boil, wait a few seconds - the on/off switch needs time
to reset.
● If you find drops of water under your kettle, don’t worry
- it is just condensation.
● Even though your kettle is fitted with a water
filter cartridge if you experience problems
with your kettle switching on and off during
use or switching off before boiling, check
that the flat element is free from scale - see
“descaling”. If descaling does not solve the
problem contact Kenwood customer care.
boil-dry protection
● If you switch on with too little water, your kettle will cut
out automatically. Switch off, remove from the
powerbase and let it cool down before re-filling. When
it has cooled down, the switch will reset itself.
care and cleaning
● Before cleaning, unplug your kettle and let it cool
down.
the outside and powerbase
● Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry. Do not use abrasives
- they will scratch the plastic surfaces.
cartridge life indicator
● When not in regular use, the display can be
switched off to prolong the battery life. Press and hold
the button until the display disappears. The unit can
then be stored.
hopper
● Lift the hopper out using the hopper release lever
ቦ.
● Wash in warm soapy water, rinse and dry.
● Do not place the hopper in the dishwasher.
● Do not use abrasive cleaners.
descaling
● Even though your kettle is fitted with a water filter
cartridge descaling of the flat element may on occasion
be required to maintain the performance of your kettle.
If the kettle is not descaled regularly the build up of
limescale may result in the following:
● problems may be experienced with the kettle
switching on and off during use or switching off
before boiling.
● the kettle may take longer to boil.
● the flat element may be damaged.
Please note: failure to descale your kettle may invalidate
your guarantee.
● When limescale starts to build up on the heating
element, buy a suitable descaler and descale your
kettle. After descaling, boil with fresh water several
times and discard. Clean any descaler off the kettle - it
can damage the parts.
