WARNING : Boiling water and steam can cause serious injury; exercise
extreme caution when using this appliance. Do not remove the lid while the
kettle is boiling.
Misuse of the appliance could cause injury to the user.
Boil-dry Sensor
The kettle is equipped with a boil-dry sensor. If the kettle is accidentally turned on whilst empty, the boil-dry sensor will activate causing the power to switch off. The kettle will then remain inactive and the power switch will not function for several minutes until the kettle is cool. Do not try to use the kettle during this time; once it has cooled down, it will resume its normal function.
Care and Maintenance
Wipe the kettle and power base with a soft, damp cloth then allow it to dry
thoroughly.
Do not immerse the kettle in water or any other liquid.
Never use harsh or abrasive cleaning detergents or scourers to clean the
kettle as this could cause damage.
Removing Limescale
Limescale can develop over time and may affect the performance and lifespan of
the kettle.
It is recommended to descale the kettle regularly, at least once every three
months, especially if the kettle is used in a hard water area. Frequent
descaling will improve the performance and lifespan of the kettle.
STEP 1 : Fill the kettle to the max. fill mark with cold water.
STEP 2 : Add a commercial descaling agent to the kettle, adhering to the
manufacturer’s instructions. It is not recommended to use vinegar to descale
the kettle.
STEP 3 : Allow the kettle to boil, switch it off and leave to soak for at
least 20 minutes or for the length of time specified on the descaling product.
STEP 4 : Empty the kettle and refill to the max. fill mark with clean
water. Boil the kettle once more and pour the water away after it has cooled.
The kettle should now be descaled.
If the kettle switches off before it has boiled or a white deposit is noticed on the inside of the kettle, it needs to be descaled. Add a commercial descaling agent to the kettle, adhering to the manufacturer’s instructions. It is not recommended to use vinegar to descale the kettle.

Before First Use
Before using the kettle for the first time, wipe it clean with a soft, damp

emitted. This is normal and will soon subside. Allow for sufficient
ventilation around the kettle.
WARNING : The kettle is not suitable for dishwasher use.
Removing the ‘New Kettle’ Taste
Fill the kettle to the max. fill mark and boil the water, following the
instructions in the section entitled ‘Using the Kettle’. If any slight ‘new
kettle’ taste or odour remains in the boiled water, discard this and refill
the kettle to three-quarters full.
Once boiled, add two tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda and leave to stand
overnight. Discard the water then re-boil a couple of times to remove any
residue.
Using the 3 kW Kettle
STEP 1 : Remove the kettle from the power base.

making sure it clicks securely shut and place the kettle back onto the power
base.
STEP 3 : Plug in and switch on the kettle at the mains power supply and
flip the power switch to the ‘on’ position until it clicks; it will illuminate
to indicate that it is switched on. Do not touch the body of the kettle during
use.
STEP 4 : Once the kettle has boiled, the power switch will automatically
flip back into the off position.
NOTE : The boiling process can be cancelled at any time by flicking the

CAUTION : Allow the kettle to cool thoroughly before touching or opening
the pull-top lid.
