A GUIDE TO TEMPERATURE SETTINGS

BOIL-DRY SAFETY PROTECTION

• The heating element in your kettle is protected against damage by a safety cut-out device which will automatically switch the kettle off in approx. 20 seconds, if it is accidently switched on and allowed to boil with little or no water.
• If this occurs, disconnect the kettle from the mains supply and allow the kettle to cool before filling it with cold water. The kettle may then be operated normally.

Why is the water cloudy?

HINTS AND TIPS

• Only use this kettle to heat water.
• Only heat the amount of water you need to use.
• Clean and descale regularly even in soft water areas.

MINIMISING SCALE

• Empty the kettle after each use; DO NOT allow water to stand in the kettle overnight.
• Use filtered water instead of tap water.
• Descale the kettle regularly, at least once a month. In areas of very hard water, you may need to descale more often.

DESCALING

• Limescale may be white, colored, or even rusty-looking, but it’s normally visible on the floor of the kettle. Phosphate scale isn’t generally visible, but it’s there, even in soft water areas.
• All scale causes overheating and reduce the kettle’s life.
• Even with soft water, descale regularly, to help keep your kettle in working order. Use a descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts).
• When descaling has finished, rinse and boil the kettle several times and discard the water.

• Periodically check all parts before use.
• Never immerse the kettle, base, or cable in water or any other liquid.
• Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp soft cloth. You may use a little mild detergent, but if you do, rinse well with clean water to avoid tainting when the kettle is next used.
• Don’t use harsh abrasive, or alkaline cleaning agents or solvents.
• Ensure that connectors and sockets are kept dry.
• Store the kettle with the power cable loosely coiled or stored in the base. Never wrap it tightly around the base or kettle.

WATER FILTER

• The internal filter inside the spout is NOT removable but can be wiped clean.
• Make sure your hands are clean.
• Ensure the kettle has cooled completely, and remove the kettle from the power base.
• Open the lid. Using a clean, damp cloth, hold the internal filter and wipe inside and out.
