INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
- Before first use, fill the kettle with clean
water to maximum capacity and boil.
Discard the water and repeat.
- The kettle should always be unplugged
when filling or adding water.
- Fill the kettle with water to the desired level.
Do not overfill or there will be a risk of
spillage or spitting. The water level indicator
will assist you to measure correct amount.
You can fill the kettle via the spout or after
opening the lid. Do not forget to close the
lid after filling otherwise the kettle will not
automatically switch off after use.
- Do not fill with less that 0,5 litre of water.
- Do not fill with more than 1,7 litres of water
(up to "MAX" indication).
- An automatic safety cut-out has been fitted
for protection against overheating. It will
operate if the kettle is switched on when
containing insufficient water.
- If the automatic safety cut-out has
operated, switch the kettle off, disconnect
from the power outlet and allow the kettle to
cool down for 5- 10 minutes. Then refill with
water and switch on - the kettle wills then
boil and cut off as in normal operation.

by either pushing the switch of the kettle to
the "up" position or by switching the power
off at the power outlet.

base and pour
CORDLESS KETTLE:
- Place the power base on a dry, flat surface.

electrical connections will be made
automatically as the kettle slides onto the
power base.
- Plug the cord into an earthed power socket
and switch on by depressing the switch of
the kettle to the "I" position.
- When the water has boiled, the kettle will
switch off automatically. After allowing the
kettle to cool down for 15-20 seconds, the
water can be brought back to the boil by
pushing the switch back to the "I" position.
During the cooling down time do not force
the on/off switch into the ("I") position as
this can damage the operating mechanism.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR KETTLE:
Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp
cloth or sponge. Remove stubborn spots with a
cloth moistened with mild liquid detergent. Do
not use abrasive scouring pads or powders.
Never immerse the kettle in water or other
liquids.
Since this kettle has concealed heating element,
is it important to keep the bottom clean,
between the decalcification you may use a
washing-up brush or sponge.
From time to time, dependent on the nature of
your water supply, a limescale deposit is
naturally formed and can be found mostly
adhered to the heating element and reduce the
heating capacity.
The amount of limescale deposited (and
subsequently the need to clean or descale)
largely depends on the water hardness in your
area and the frequency with which the kettle is
used.
Limescale is not harmful to your health. But if
poured into your beverage it can give a powdery
taste to your drink. Therefore, the kettle should
be descale periodically as indicated below:
DESCALING:
Descale the kettle regularly. With normal use: at
least twice a year.
- Fill the kettle up to the "MAX" with a mixture
of one part acetic acid 32 % and two parts
water. Switch on and wait for the appliance
to switch off automatically.
