OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any promotional material attached to your kettle. It is recommended that before first use, the kettle is filled to the maximum level with cold tap water, boiled, and water discarded. 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, remove it from the power base and open the lid by pressing the lid release button. Fill with the desired amount of water.

NOTE
Always fill the kettle between the minimum (500ml) and maximum (1700ml) marks on the water window.
Too little water will result in the kettle switching ‘Off’ before the water has boiled or reached the selected temperature. Filling above the maximum mark (MAX) may result in boiling water splashing from the kettle.

Ensure the lid is locked firmly into place.
Position the kettle securely onto the power base. Insert the power plug into a 230V power outlet and switch on.
Press the ‘On/Off’ switch to the ‘On’ position for water to boil.

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.
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.
If further heating of the kettle is not required, switch ‘Off’ at the power outlet, unplug the power cord and empty the water from the kettle. Replace the kettle onto the power base and close the lid.

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. Switch ‘Off’ at the power outlet and allow the kettle to cool before refilling.
Remove the kettle from the power base and add water. Return the kettle to the power base. The safety device will then automatically reset.
For additional safety, your kettle is fitted with an additional thermal cut- out. In the event of overheating, the kettle will automatically shut down to prevent further damage. Should this occur, please contact Sage® by Heston Blumenthal® Customer Service on 0808 178 1650

WARNING
This appliance is designed for boiling of drinking quality water only. Never use to heat or boil any other liquids or foodstuffs. The lid should always be firmly in place and locked into a closed position before use.
WARNING
Do not press the lid release button on the handle to open the lid during and after the operation. This may result in boiling water splashing from the kettle.
Pour out all the hot water from the kettle before opening the lid to refill.

CARE & CLEANING

Always switch ‘off’ at the power outlet and unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.

REMOVABLE FILTER
The Sage® by Heston Blumenthal® Product features a washable mesh filter to remove scale deposits for cleaner water.
To remove the scale deposits from the filter, open the lid and slide the filter up and out of the kettle.
The filter can be cleaned by running under hot water and rubbing with a cleaning cloth or brush. To replace the filter, simply slide the filter down into the slot behind the spout of the kettle and push it back into position.

NOTE
The filter could become damaged with time. Please check regularly and replace if found damaged.
NOTE
The concealed element in the base of the kettle is made from high- quality stainless steel. Any brown stains appearing are the result of mineral deposits and are not rust.

DESCALING
It is essential that regular descaling takes place. The frequency will depend on the usage of the kettle and the hardness of the water in your area. A build-up of scale may cause the inside of the kettle to discolor and ultimately may damage the element.
This will affect the efficiency of the appliance and may invalidate the warranty agreement. We recommend the use of Sage “the Descaler” as it’s specially formulated for descaling kettles. To order visit www.sageappliances.com.

Empty one sachet (25g) into 1 liter of warm water, stir to dissolve.
Pour into the kettle.
Leave stand for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, discard the solution.
Rinse the kettle twice with fresh clean water.

WARNING
Never immerse the kettle base, switch area, power base, power cord or power plug in water, or allow moisture to come into contact with these parts.

TO CLEAN THE EXTERIOR
The outside of the kettle may be wiped over with a damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth.

CARE & CLEANING

NOTE
Do not use chemicals, alkaline cleaning agents, steel wool or abrasive cleaners to clean the inside or outside of the kettle. Use a mild cleaning agent with a soft damp cloth.

STORAGE
Ensure the kettle is switched off, clean, and dry before storing. Ensure the lid is closed and locked securely 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.
