Using your Kettle

• If you are using the kettle for the first time, it is recommended that you clean your kettle before use by boiling a full kettle of water twice and then discarding the water.
• With the kettle switched off, plug the base into a suitable power outlet.
• Open the lid of the kettle and fill the kettle with water. Don’t overfill the kettle.
• Make sure that the lid is closed correctly to ensure safe operation then switch the kettle on by pressing the on/off switch to the down position.
• You may also switch the kettle off at any time by lifting the on/off switch to the up position.
  Always use caution when carrying the kettle when it is full of boiling water and when pouring it.

Energy Saving Hints and Tips

Your 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 with one cup is the equivalent of using an energy-saving light bulb for one hour.
• It is not always necessary to re-boil your kettle. For example, one liter of water will still be at 90℃ 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 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.

WARNING: DO NOT OVERFILL THE KETTLE.
CAUTION: Wait until the kettle has stopped boiling for a few seconds then carefully pour water into your cup.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Before cleaning, switch off the kettle, unplug from power socket and allow it to cool completely.
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.

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.
  Descale your kettle regularly to keep it working efficiently.
  Use a proprietary descaling product following the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

• Never operate the kettle without the filter fitted.

Removal of mineral deposits
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the kettle interior to discolor. To remove this build-up, use a liquid descaler, a simple to use non-toxic cleaner.

Alternatively:

• Fill the kettle with 3 cups of White Vinegar and top up with water and leave overnight. Do not boil.
• Empty the solution from the kettle. Any stains remaining inside the spout can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth, filling the kettle with clean water, bring to boil, and then discarding the water. Repeat and the kettle will then be ready to use.
