TIPS:

• Improve the quality of your drinks by always using fresh water.
• Empty the kettle after each use.
• Be economical and do not boil more water than you need.
• Ensure the kettle is switched off before removing it from its base. DO NOT remove the kettle from its base while it is in operation.
• If you need to boil the kettle again, wait for a few seconds to allow the ON/OFF switch time to reset. The delay should be no more than 20 seconds.
• When you lift the kettle up from the base, you may see drops of water on the base. This is just condensation from steam.
• To avoid splashing or spilling, pour the kettle slowly and do not over-tilt it.

WARNING! Never remove the lid during boiling. If the water inside the kettle has just boiled, as the kettle will be full of steam, which will escape as soon as the lid is opened.

BOIL DRY PROTECTION:

• Your kettle will switch off automatically if you try to use it with too little water or if it is empty.
• If this happens, ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the Off position, remove it from the base unit and allow it to cool down before re-filling.
• Wait at least 15 minutes for the cut-out to reset before refilling the kettle with cold water and boiling it again.

WASHABLE FILTER:

• Your kettle is fitted with a removable filter. The filter helps to prevent limescale from getting into your drink.
• The filter should be cleaned regularly, in particular if there are noticeable deposits left on it, or if pouring is affected in any way.
• To clean the filter, rinse it under the tap.

CLEANING AND CARE

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE AND BASE UNIT:

1. Remove the plug from the mains socket and allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

2. Do not immerse the base unit, kettle or plug/power cord in water or any other liquid.

3. Clean the base unit and outside of the appliance by wiping it with a damp cloth. A little detergent can be added if needed.

4. Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, any form of strong solvents or abrasive cleaning agents to clean the appliance, as they may damage the outside surfaces.
   IMPORTANT! Failure to de-scale your kettle may invalidate your guarantee.

5. If you do not de-scale your kettle regularly, the build-up of limescale may result in the following:

   • The kettle taking longer to boil.
   • Damage to the heating element.
   • The safety cut-out operating prematurely, switching the kettle off before the water has boiled.

DE-SCALING:
NOTE: Should the appliance switch off before reaching boiling point, this is a sign that de-scaling is necessary.

1. Any regular de-scaling agent may be used, provided the relevant instructions are observed. To avoid spillage, take care not to overfill the kettle, in case the de-scaling agent causes the water to foam.
2. To clean the kettle thoroughly of any de-calcification residue; let it go through several boiling cycles using clean water with each cycle. Rinse the kettle with clean water afterwards.
3. It is advisable to remove limescale deposits from the kettle at regular intervals.

REMOVING LIMESCALE BUILD-UP:
If using a kettle cleaning solution make sure to follow the instructions.

NATURAL CLEANING METHOD FOR LIMESCALE REMOVAL:

1. Fill the kettle with equal parts water and vinegar (white wine vinegar, cider vinegar or lemon juice work particularly well). Allow the kettle to boil (pay attention that the contents do not boil over) and let it stand for
   30- 40 minutes.
