Before first use

Before using the appliance for the first time, fill with water, boil and pour away.

Using your kettle

Fill the kettle with water, through the Easy Fill System (1) without removing the Lid (2), or alternatively fill through the Spout (5).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT FILL TO ABOVE THE MAX LINE ON THE WATER GAUGE.

To help protect the environment, only boil as much water as you need.

Place the kettle on the 360° Power Base (9) and press the On/Off Switch (7). The On/Off Switch will illuminate.

When boiled, the kettle will automatically switch off. Remove from the 360° Power Base (9).

Pour the water from the kettle.

WARNING: When boiled, allow a few seconds before pouring. Both the kettle and water will be hot.

Cleaning your kettle

WARNING: Always disconnect the plug from the mains and allow the kettle to cool before cleaning.
Wipe the outside with a damp cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive cleaners on the outside of the kettle which may scratch the surface.

Removing the Filter

Allow the kettle to cool completely before removing the filter.
Remove the Lid (2).
Locate the Removable Limescale Filter (3) in the Spout (5).
Push the tab on the top of the Removable Limescale Filter (3) down, then lift the Filter upwards to remove for cleaning.
To refit the Removable Limescale Filter, rest the Filter inside the Spout and clip the tab back into position until it clicks.

WARNING

Unless the Removable Limescale Filter is fitted correctly, it may fall out when pouring.
Never boil the kettle with the Removable Limescale Filter removed. It must be attached to the kettle at all times.

Descaling

IMPORTANT: As this appliance 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 appliance to switch off before boiling and may damage the element, invalidating the warranty.

It is essential that regular descaling takes place. We recommend descailing your kettle every month. Remove hard scale using a proprietary descaling product suitable for stainless steel, glass or plastic. Please follow the cleaning products instructions carefully. If you wish to descale the inside of the kettle, you may remove the Lid (2). Removing the Lid is not otherwise necessary for normal use of the kettle.

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