USING YOUR KETTLE

1. Before first use, it is recommended to boil the kettle 2 or 3 times following the instructions below, this will remove any dust or residue remaining from the manufacturing process.
2. Remove the kettle from the power base before filling.
3. Wherever possible fill through the spout, as this helps to free the filter from limescale build-up. The integrated water level indicator allows you to easily see the amount of water in the kettle. Always ensure that the level of water in the kettle is filled to at least the minimum level shown on the water gauge.
4.  Place the kettle on the power base, ensuring the kettle is positioned on the 360° connector.
5. Plug the cord into a power socket and switch on at the wall.
6. Switch the kettle on. The ‘power on’ light will illuminate.
7.  Rapid boil kettles perform differently, they may sound louder during boiling, and switch off suddenly with no after noise, this is normal.
8. When the water boils the kettle will switch off automatically. If you are using the kettle for the first time, pour away the boiled water.
9.  Lift the kettle from the power base by the handle ensuring you hold the kettle level. To re-boil, switch ON again. If the kettle has just switched off wait a minute or two before switching it back on again. If you do not put in enough water, or switch on the kettle when it is empty, the safety cut-out will switch off the power automatically. If this happens, refill and wait a few minutes for the element to cool, then use as normal.

FILTER REMOVAL

1. Open the lid.
2. Lift the filter upwards from its holder.
3.  To re-fit the filter, slide it into the side wall guides of the filter holder until it clicks into place.

WARNING: Unless the filter is fitted correctly, the kettle lid may not close and lock securely.

DESCALING
IMPORTANT: This kettle is fitted with a concealed element, it must be descaled regularly. The frequency of descaling depends on usage and the hardness of the water in your area.
Excessive scale can cause the kettle to switch off before boiling and may damage the element voiding the warranty. Half fill the kettle with tap water and add the juice of 1 lemon to the water. Boil this mixture and allow it to stand for 15 minutes. Re-boil the mixture and allow it to stand a further 15 minutes. Re-boil this mixture a third time and rinse the kettle well.
Alternatively use citric acid crystals (available from most pharmacies) as follows.

1.  Fill the kettle 3/4 full, boil, then unplug the kettle (remove the kettle from the base unit) and stand it in an empty sink or bowl.
2. Add 50gm of citric acid crystals to the water gradually, then leave the kettle to stand. Do not use a more concentrated solution.
3. As soon as the effervescence subsides, empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly with cold water.
4. Wipe the outside of the kettle thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove all traces of acid which may damage the finish.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the electrical connections are completely dry before using the kettle.

CLEANING

WARNING: Always disconnect the plug from the mains and allow the kettle to cool completely before cleaning.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the appliance do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning, use a soft cloth and a mild detergent.
