Instructions for Use

Before you start using your new kettle

Before you use your new kettle for the first time, please, boil water and pour it away. The same should be repeated more times to get rid of the unpleasant plastic taste, which is usual for plastic products. If the boiled water tastes still like plastic, please, repeat the same process until the unpleasant taste is not present anymore. If the result of the boiling process is still negative, please, contact the service point.

1. Open the lid and fill the kettle ith cold water.
2. Make sure that the water level is between the 100 ml and maximum marks on the water level scale. Do not switch on the kettle when empty.
3. Close the lid.
4. Plug to AC outlet with the voltage corresponding to the information on the product label.
5. Switch the kettle on by the main switch. The indicator light ill go on showing that the water is being boiled.
6. When the water has boiled, the kettle will switch off automatically.
7. Remember if you wish to re-boil, put the main switch of the kettle to the “ON” position.
8. The kettle CAN NOT switch off at any time by either pushing the main switch of the kettle.
9. When water boils, the steam passes through the steam channel and then switches off the ketle.
10. When pouring out the water incline the kettle slightly and gradually. Do not forget that hot water is inside.
11. An automatic safety boil-dry cut-out has been fitted for protection against overheating: It will also operate if the kettle is switched on when containing insufficient water. Always ensure the water inside the kettle covers the minimum mark 100 ml on the water level indicator gauge. If the cut-out has operated, switch the kettle off, disconnect from the power outlet and allow the kettle to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes. Then refill with enough water and switch on; the kettle will then boil and cut off as in normal operation.
