Using Your Kambrook Kettle
Before First Use
Remove any packaging material and promotional labels before using your kettle for the first time. It is recommended before the first use to fill the kettle to the maximum level with cold tap water, bring to the boil and then discard the water. Your kettle will only operate when positioned on the power base with the ON/OFF switch in the ‘ON’ position. The kettle will automatically switch off once the water has boiled.
Operation Of Your Kettle
-
To fill the kettle with water, remove it from the power base and open the lid by pressing the button on the handle of the kettle and the lid will lift upwards. Fill with the desired amount of water. Do not operate the kettle without water. Always fill the kettle between the minimum and the maximum marks on the water window. Too little water will result in the kettle switching off.
-
Ensure that the lid is closed before placing the kettle on the power base.
-
Place the kettle firmly onto the power base and plug the power cord into a 230V or 240V power outlet and switch on.
-
Press the ON/OFF switch to the ‘ON’ position. The power ‘ON’ light will illuminate.
NOTE: Never operate the kettle dry – too little water will result in the kettle switching ‘OFF’.
Do not overfill the kettle – filling above the maximum mark on the water window may result in boiling water splashing from the kettle.
NOTE: This kettle must only be used with the power base supplied. Use caution when pouring water from your kettle, as boiling water will scald. Do not pour the water too quickly.
NOTE: Do not remove the kettle from the power base during operation. Ensure the kettle has switched to the ‘OFF’ position after the water has boiled before removing the kettle from the power base. -
The kettle will automatically switch ‘OFF’ once the water has boiled.
Lift the kettle from the power base and pour the water. Take care to hold the kettle level, especially when filled to the maximum level.
To re-boil it may be necessary to wait for a few seconds to allow the control to reset. -
The kettle should be stored on its power base when not in use.
The power outlet should be switched off and the power cord unplugged from the power outlet when not in use.
CAUTION: This appliance is designed for the boiling of drinking quality water only; never use it to heat or boil any other liquids or foodstuffs. The lid should always be firmly in place and locked closed before use.
CAUTION: Do not release the lid while the water is boiling. Ensure the lid is closed whilst boiling.
Safety Boil Dry Protection
The kettle is fitted with a safety device, which protects against overheating should the appliance be operated with insufficient water. If this occurs the kettle will stop heating and automatically switch ‘OFF’.
Should this occur, switch off at the power outlet and unplug. Allow kettle to cool before refilling. Remove the kettle from the power base and add water. Return the kettle to the power base and reconnect plug to outlet and switch on. The safety device will automatically reset.
Care, Cleaning and Storage
Always switch off at the power outlet and then unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
Cleaning the Kettle Exterior
The outside surface of the kettle may be wiped over with a damp cloth and
polished with a soft, clean dry cloth.
Cleaning the Removable Filter
The filter fitted inside the kettle over the spout is removable for cleaning.
To remove the entire filter bracket for thorough cleaning, press the bracket downwards and outwards to unclip from the spout. Do not use excessive force to remove the bracket as it could break. To replace the filter bracket, simply clip the bracket back in position in the slot behind the spout of the kettle, being careful not to place too much pressure on the bracket.
For periodic cleaning, it should only be necessary to remove the filter
itself. To do this, slide the filter upwards out of the filter bracket and
replace once cleaned by sliding back into the bracket.
The filter can be cleaned using warm soapy water and a small brush.
TIP: The filter could become damaged with time, please check regularly and replace if found damaged.
NOTE: Ensure the kettle and water has cooled down before attempting to clean the filter.
NOTE: Do not use chemical, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the inside or outside of the kettle.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the appliance do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning; use a soft cloth and mild detergents.
** WARNING**: Never immerse the kettle base, switch area, power base or power supply cord in water or allow moisture to come in contact with these parts.
Mineral Deposits and Discolouration
Due to the large surface area of the immersed element (interior base),
discolouration due to mineral deposits from tap water may appear more obvious
by leaving a brown stain on the base. THIS IS NOT RUST.
To remove the discolouration, follow the instructions “Removing Mineral
Deposits”.
Removing Mineral Deposits
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the kettle interior and water window
to discolour over time.
This may be removed by using a proprietary kettle descaler which is available
from most leading supermarkets, department stores and hardware stores.
Alternatively:
- Fill the kettle until 2 ⁄3 full with 1 part vinegar (or a few slices of lemon) and 2 parts water, bring to the boil and allow to stand overnight.
- Empty the solution from the kettle. Fill the kettle with clean water, bring to boil and discard the water. Repeat and the kettle will be ready for use
Storage
Ensure the kettle is switched off, cleaned and dried before storing.
Ensure that the lid is closed and locked firmly into place. Wrap the power
cord around the cord storage under the power base. Stand the kettle upright on
the power base.
Do not store anything on top.
