USE
Before use
– Remove all packaging from the kettle and power base.
– Do not let children play with them to avoid suffocation hazard.
– Remove any labels from the outer stainless steel surfaces.
– Remove the filter (fig. 1/1a) and wash with water (fig. 2). Refer to
“Removing the scale filter”.
– Fill the kettle to `MAX’ level and boil.
– The boiled water should be discarded and the kettle rinsed out with cold
water. Repeat the boil and rinse steps for at least three times to remove any
manufacturing dust, etc.
– After the kettle has been rinsed out, re-fit the filter (fig. 3/3a).
In use
With the specially designed power base and central connector, you can now set
the kettle on the base at any angle, from any position.
– Release cord from storage base and adjust length by winding around the base
to give the correct cord length to reach the plug socket to be used (fig. 4).
– Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces
(for example the top B).
Filling
– Remove the kettle from the base unit before filling.
– Open lid and fill kettle to desired level.
Do not fill with less than 0.3 liters of water to prevent the kettle
running dry while operating; misuse of this kind will shorten the life of the
element. Do not fill with more than 1.7 liters of water (up to the MAX
level) . If the kettle is overfilled, there is a risk that boiling water may
be ejected causing burns.
Switching on
– Plug the power base into the mains socket.
– Place kettle on power base.
– Press the ON/OFF switch down (fig. 5) to switch the kettle on.
– The pilot light will switch on.
– The kettle will automatically switch off once the water is boiled (the
ON/OFF switch will click upwards and the lights will switch off ).
– To turn the kettle off before the water boils, you may move the ON/OFF
switch up to the OFF position, or simply lift the kettle from its base it will
switch off and the switch will return to the OFF position automatically.
Pouring
– Remove the kettle from the power base and carefully pour out the water. Do
not tilt the kettle suddenly or pour water out at too sharp an angle.
– When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see moisture on the top
surface of the base. Condensation on the base is perfectly normal, and should
not be a cause for alarm.
Please note: Empty the kettle after each use. Rinse the kettle with fresh water if you have not used for more than two days. To reduce energy consumption and waste of water, use only the amount of water you need.
SAFETY DEVICES
1) Automatic ON/OFF switch:
Your kettle is fitted with an ON/OFF switch which automatically switches off
once the water has boiled. If the kettle has just boiled, wait a minute or so
before re-boiling the kettle. Do not attempt to hold the ON/ OFF switch in the
on position or adjust the switch mechanism.
2) Safety cut-out:
If the kettle is switched ON with too little or no water, it is protected
against damage by a safety cutout which will switch off the power. If this
cut-out operates, disconnect the kettle from the mains supply and leave to
cool down before refilling with cold water (otherwise the element could be
damaged).
3) If kettle is lifted from base while operating (ON), it will automatically
switch off.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the kettle
– Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the appliance from the
mains before cleaning.
– Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.
– To maintain the precious finish of the appliance, we recommend cleaning the
outside of the appliance with a damp cloth and water only.
– DO NOT use metal polish, flammable liquids or harsh scouring agents.
– Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry.
Scale
When the water is heated, the minerals in the water solidify, making the water
appear cloudy. As soon as you notice a film forming on the water, or, when
cleaning the filter, if you notice a film on the walls or the element, descale
the kettle and its filter.
Scale filter
Your kettle is fitted with a scale filter to prevent loose particles of scale
being poured into your beverage. This filter is both removable and washable.
You should remove and clean the water filter when you notice any deposits
being left on the filter or if the pouring efficiency is impaired.
Removing the scale filter
– Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the appliance from the
mains electrical supply. Make sure that your hands are clean and free from
soap, cream or anything which might taint the water.
– Empty the kettle and remove the filter as shown in fig. 1. Rinse under a tap
whilst brushing with a soft brush (fig. 2) and replace the filter (fig. 3).
Filter may pose suffocation risk, do not let it unattended after cleaning.
To clean the kettle and the scale filter
It is vital to clean and descale regularly in order to maintain good working
order. Excessive scale build-up may affect the performance of the product and
shall be avoided.
– Use descale for kettles (tip: use citric-acid based descaling solutions).
When limescale starts forming on the heating element, buy a suitable descale
for kettles and descale according to the instructions given on the descale
pack.
– After descaling, boil repeatedly with fresh water and rinse thoroughly to
completely eliminate all residues of descale which could damage the appliance.
Repeat the boil and rinse steps for at least three times.
– If the filter requires descaling, remove and immerse in the same descaling
solution.
– Make sure electric parts are completely dry before using the kettle.
