BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Fill to max, boil, discard the water, then rinse. Do this twice to remove any manufacturing dust, etc.

FILLING

Open the lid.
Fill with at least 1 cup of water, but not above max.
If you want only 1, 2, or 3 cups of water, fill to the 1, 2, or 3 marks inside the kettle.
Close the lid, and press down to lock it.

SWITCHING ON

Put the stand on a stable, level surface.
Plug the stand into the wall socket.
Put the kettle on the stand.
Move the switch to I.
The light will come on. The kettle will start to heat.

SWITCHING OFF

When the water boils the kettle will switch off.
To switch off manually, move the switch to O, or simply lift the kettle off the stand.

GENERAL

When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don’t worry – it’s the steam used to switch off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents under the kettle.
You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, don’t worry – it’s due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.

BOIL DRY PROTECTION

If your kettle boils dry, a safety cut-out device will automatically switch it off. If this happens, unplug your kettle and allow it to cool down until the cut-out resets itself. Allowing your kettle to boil dry will shorten the life of the element.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug the stand, and let the kettle cool before cleaning.
Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth.
Keep the connectors dry.
Open the lid.
Push the hook on top of the filter down then lift the filter out of the kettle (fig A).
Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.
Lower the filter into the kettle, and engage the bottom hook in the bottom of the spout.
Press the top of the filter towards the kettle, to lock the hook in place.
Close the lid.

Descale regularly, (at least monthly).
Use a proprietary descaler. Follow the instructions accompanying the descaler.
Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a repair charge.

RECYCLING

To avoid environmental and health problems due to hazardous substances, appliances and rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries marked with one of these symbols must not be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste. Always dispose of electrical and electronic products and, where applicable, rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries, at an appropriate official recycling/collection point.
