Getting the best from your new kettle…

Empty the water out of the kettle after first boiling
To clean away any deposits that are left in the kettle after the manufacturing process.
Descale as appropriate for the hardness of the water in your area
It is important to descale as the performance of the kettle and auto switch- off will be impaired.
Safety first
Always pour water slowly and carefully to prevent the splashing of scalding water.
Fast boil kettles perform differently
If your kettle is a fast boil model, it may sound louder during boiling, and switch off suddenly with no after noise – this is normal.

Treating scalds

• Run cold water over the affected area immediately. Do not stop to remove clothing, get medical help quickly.

Using

Filling the kettle

1. Wherever possible fill through the spout, as this helps to free the filter from limescale build-up.
   • The integrated water level indicator allows you to easily see the amount of water in the kettle.
   • Always ensure that the level of water in the kettle is filled to at least the minimum level shown on the water gauge. Should your kettle not have a water gauge, always ensure that the element is covered.
   • Boil only as much water as you need as this saves electricity.

2. Place the kettle on the base unit, ensuring the kettle locates on to the 360° connector.
   • The 360° connector allows the kettle to be located at any position. – ideal for left and right handed users and for convenient positioning on the worktop.

3. Plug in and switch on the wall socket.

4. Switch the kettle on. The ‘power on’ neon will light up.

5. When the water boils the kettle will switch off automatically.
   • If you are using the kettle for the first time, pour away the boiled water and refill.

6. Lift the kettle from the base unit by the handle ensuring you hold the kettle level.
   • To re-boil, switch to ON again. If the kettle has just switched off wait a minute or so before switching it back on again.
   • If you do not put in enough water, or switch on the kettle when it is empty, the safety cut-out will switch off the power automatically. If this happens, refill and wait a few minutes for the element to cool, then use as normal.

Filter removal

1. Open the lid.
2. Lift the filter upwards from its holder.
3. To refit the filter, slide it into the side wall guides of the filter holder until it clicks into place.

WARNING: Unless the filter is fitted correctly, the kettle lid manot close and lock securely.

Descaling

IMPORTANT: As this kettle is fitted with a concealed element it must be descaled regularly. The frequency of descaling depends on usage and the hardness of the water in your area.
Excessive scale can cause the kettle to switch off before boiling and may damage the element invalidating the warranty.
It is essential that regular descaling takes place.
Remove hard scale using a proprietary descaling product suitable for stainless steel kettles.
Alternatively use citric acid crystals (available from most pharmacies) as follows.

1. Fill the kettle 3/4 full, boil, then unplug the kettle (remove the cordless kettle from the base unit) and stand it in an empty sink or bowl.
2. Add 50gm of citric acid crystals to the water gradually, then leave the kettle to stand. Do not use a more concentrated solution.
3. As soon as the effervescence subsides, empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly with cold water.
4. Wipe the outside of the kettle thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove all traces of acid which may damage the finish.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the electrical connections are completely dry before using the kettle.

Cleaning

WARNING: Always disconnect the plug from the mains and allow the kettle to cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the appliance do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning, use a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive cleaners on the outside of the kettle which may scratch the surface.

Whistle feature B

• There is a switch 12 on the cordless base of the product that can switch the whistle on and off as desired.
