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.

OPERATION OF YOUR KETTLE

To fill the kettle, remove it from the power base and open 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.

Ensure the lid is locked firmly into place.
Position the kettle securely onto the power base.
Insert the power plug into a 230–240V 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.
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 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, take your kettle to an authorised Sage® Service Centre.

CARE & CLEANING

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

REMOVABLE FILTER

The kettle features a removable 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 filter, simply slide the filter down into the slot behind the spout of the kettle and push 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. 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 discolour 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
