HOW TO OPERATE 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 by depressing the flip-top
lid button, 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.
2. Close the lid by pressing it down until it clicks into
place. Place the kettle on the base and plug into
the mains.
3. To switch on the kettle, press the On/Off switch
down (position 1). The power indicator light will
now be on. 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 up
(position 0).
4. Pour slowly and carefully. If you wish to re-boil,
please allow a few minutes 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
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 kettle.
• If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may be
ejected.
• The kettle is only to be used with the stand
provided.
• The appliance must not be immersed 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.
Descaling
Always ensure that the kettle is disconnected from the
mains before descaling. Scaling or furring is a common
problem in hard water areas. It is recommended that
a propriety descaler is used whenever scale deposits
build up. The instructions supplied with the descaler
must always be followed. Scale build up may result in the
kettle switching off before boiling. Using a water purifier
will help to reduce scale build-up.
Ensure that you descale your filter at regular intervals to
avoid impairing the pouring performance of your kettle.
Cleaning and Maintenance
A clean appliance will last longer. Please observe the
following instructions to get the best use of your
kettle.
• Always disconnect the plug from the mains before
cleaning the kettle and base. Wipe the plastic
parts and base with a moist cloth. Never use an
aggressive scourer, steel wool of strong chemical
cleaners.
• Descale the kettle regularly. This will depend on the
hardness of the water and the frequency of use.
Scale build up will significantly reduce the heating
efficiency of the kettle.
• Use of a proprietary descaler for kettles is
recommended. Follow the instructions provided
carefully.
• For stainless steel kettles you should use a soft
absorbent cloth to remove the condensation from
the body to prevent minerals in the steam/water
from oxidizing and giving the appearance of rust
marks on the kettle. A metal polish should be
used to protect and maintain your kettle in a good
condition.
Disposal and the Environment
If your electrical appliance requires replacement or
is of no further use, please think of protecting the
environment. Contact you local authority for advice as
many have facilities for environmentally safe disposal.
