• Avoid spillage on the stand/connector.
• The surface of the heating element is subject to residual heat after use.
• Use the appliance according to these instructions. Any misuse may cause potential injury, electric shock or other hazards.
• This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

PARTS

1. Filter
2. Lid lock
3. Lid
4. Water level gauge
5. Switch
6. Stand

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Fill to max, boil, discard the water, then rinse. Do this twice to remove any manufacturing dust, etc.

FILLING

1. Open the lid.
2. Fill with at least 1 cup of water, but not above max.
3. Close the lid, and press down to lock it.

USING YOUR KETTLE

1. Put the stand on a stable, level surface.
2. Plug the stand into the wall socket.
3. Put the kettle on the stand.
4. Move the switch to I.
5. The light will come on. The kettle will start to heat.
6. When the water boils the kettle will switch off.
7. To switch off manually, move the switch to O, or simply lift the kettle off the stand.

GENERAL

• When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don’t worry – it’s the steam used to switch off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents under the kettle.
• You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, don’t worry – it’s due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.

BOIL DRY PROTECTION

• This will shorten the life of the element. A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
• You must then remove the kettle from its stand to reset the cut-out.
• Sit the kettle on the work surface till it’s cold.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Unplug the stand, and let the kettle cool before cleaning.
2. Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth.
3. Open the lid.
4. Slide the filter up and out of the guides (FIG A).
5. Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.
6. Slide the filter down, into the guides.
7. Close the lid.

Descale regularly, (at least monthly).
The suppressor is designed to reduce the noise made by the boiling water. Scale will prevent it from working, and the kettle will become noisier.
Use a proprietary descaler. Follow the instructions accompanying the descaler.
Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a repair charge.

RECYCLING

To avoid environmental and health problems due to hazardous substances, appliances and rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries marked with one of these symbols must not be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste. Always dispose of electrical and electronic products and, where applicable, rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries, at an appropriate official recycling/collection point.
