Before using for the first time
Remove any packaging and promotional material from your kettle and position it
on a stable, secure, dry and level work surface away from the edge.
Before connecting to a power source, make sure your mains supply voltage is
the same as the one indicated on the appliance. Connect the plug to a suitable
power outlet and make sure that the power cord does not overhang the work
surface. Excess power cord can be stored in the power base.
- Fill your kettle to the maximum mark and close the lid.
- Place the kettle back onto the power base. Switch the kettle on, allow it to boil then discard the water. Repeat twice. This will remove any residue left over from the manufacturing process.
Using your kettle
If this kettle is filled above the maximum level mark, hot water may be
ejected from the spout during boiling. Beware of steam coming from the spout
or lid especially during refilling.
Never open the lid when the kettle is boiling.
-
With the kettle switched off, plug the power base into a suitable power outlet.
-
Remove the kettle from the power base before filling it with water.
Do not fill the kettle through the spout. -
Fill the kettle with water. Don’t overfill the kettle and always ensure that there is sufficient water in the kettle for it to operate correctly.
This is approximately 250ml or 1 teacup full. Always check the water level when the kettle is positioned on its power base. -
Make sure that the lid is closed correctly to ensure safe operation.
-
When the kettle is switched on, the water level window will illuminate.
-
When the water reaches boiling point, the kettle will switch off automatically.
-
You may also switch the kettle off manually at any time by moving the switch to the off position.
-
Always use caution when carrying or pouring water from your kettle when it is full of hot or boiling water.
If your kettle boils dry
If the kettle is operated with insufficient water a built in fail-safe device
will automatically switch off the kettle.
- Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool. When the kettle has cooled down sufficiently the device will reset itself.
- Once the device has reset, refill the kettle with cold water and use it as normal.
Energy saving hints and tips
A Breville kettle, if used correctly, is a very energy efficient device. Why
not try some of these energy saving tips:
- Only boil the water you need. Overfilling your kettle by one cup is the equivalent to using an energy saving light bulb for one hour!
- It is not always necessary to re-boil your kettle. For example, one litre of water will still be at 90°C after five minutes – the perfect temperature for a cup of coffee.
Care and cleaning
Always unplug the kettle from the mains supply socket and allow it to completely cool down before cleaning or descaling it. Do not immerse the kettle, power base or power cord and plug in water or any other liquid.
- Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a damp cloth and then polish with a soft dry cloth. Do not use steel wool pads or harsh/ abrasive cleaners.
- Descale your kettle regularly to keep it working efficiently. Use a proprietary descaling product following the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
Cleaning the filter
- Open the lid and remove the filter from behind the spout.
- Rinse the filter under a tap whilst brushing it with a soft brush. In hard water areas it may be necessary to descale the filter using a descaling agent.
- Use a proprietary descaling product following the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. The filter may be washed safely in the cutlery rack of a dishwasher.
- Refit the filter back into the kettle.
Replacement filter
A replacement filter can be obtained by phoning our Customer Service
Department on 0161 621 6900. They will give you up to date prices, inclusive
of VAT and postage and packaging.
