BEFORE FIRST USE

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 cords can be stored in the power base. Remove the kettle from the power base and open the lid. Fill your kettle to the maximum mark and close the lid. Place your kettle back onto the power base. Switch your 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.

1. With your kettle switched off, plug the power base into a suitable power outlet.
2. Remove your kettle from the power base before filling it with water.
3. Fill your kettle with water. You can fill it through the spout or by opening the lid. Don’t overfill your kettle and always ensure that there is sufficient water in your kettle for it to operate correctly. This is approximately 250ml or 1 teacup full. Always check the water level when your kettle is positioned on its power base.
4. If opened previously, close the lid and then switch your kettle on. Make sure that the lid is correctly closed to ensure safe operation.
5. When the water reaches boiling point, your kettle will switch off automatically.
6. You may also switch your kettle off manually at any time by moving the switch to the off position. Always use caution when lifting or carrying your kettle when it is full of boiling water and when pouring it.

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.

IF THE KETTLE BOILS DRY
If the kettle is operated with insufficient water a built-in fail-safe device will automatically switch it off.

• Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool. When it has cooled down sufficiently the safety device will reset itself.
• Once the safety device has reset, refill your kettle with cold water and use it as normal.

To ensure your kettle continues to work effectively we recommenced descaling regularly. Scale build-up will prevent the noise-reducing ring from working.

STEAM SURGE CONTROL
The Breville steam surge technology helps to stop the build-up of condensation in your kitchen by reducing the kettle steam output by up to 75%*.
When your kettle reaches temperature, it will automatically switch off. As this technology is paired with quiet boil we recommend using the water window light as the indication the kettle has reached boiling point.

QUIET BOILING
Designed to make boiling water quieter. The stainless steel disk attached to the kettle floor acts as a diffuser plate. It is perforated with a range of holes that help disperse, and reduce the size of, the water bubbles thus significantly reducing the noise of the boiling process.

MAINTAINING THE QUIETNESS OF YOUR KETTLE

• Regular use of the kettle can lead to the build-up of mineral deposits which reduces the effectiveness of the diffuser plate as well as the performance of the kettle.
• It is important to descale your kettle regularly to prolong the life of the kettle. Breville recommends that the kettle is descaled every 4-6 weeks.

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.

1. Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a damp cloth and then polish it with a soft dry cloth. Do not use steel wool pads or harsh/abrasive cleaners.
2. Descale your kettle regularly to keep it working efficiently. Use a proprietary descaling product following the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

CLEANING THE FILTER
Before removing or refitting the filter, switch off the kettle and empty it. Allow it to cool completely, then unplug the power base from the main supply socket. Never operate the kettle without the filter fitted.

• 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 product. 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 your kettle.
