IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

When using any electrical appliance, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury, including the following:

• Never leave unattended while cooking to avoid possibility of fire.
• This appliance is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY and similar applications such as:
  • staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack experience and knowledge unless, they have been given instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• To ensure no possible accidental injury occurs, when infirmed persons (including children) are near the appliance, they must be closely supervised.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Use only on an appropriate benchtop and indoors only, sitting away from flammable materials such as curtains, draperies and walls of similar nature as a fire may occur if comes in contact or becomes covered during operation.
• CAUTION: Do not operate the kettle on an inclined plane nor move the kettle while the kettle is switched on.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas, electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Do not use appliance for other than its intended use.
• This kettle has been designed specifically for the purpose of boiling drinking quality water only. Under no circumstances should this product be used to boil any other liquids.
• Misuse may potentially cause injury or physical damage to the user.
• This appliance is under 240V use only. Check voltage to be sure the voltage indicated on the nameplate agrees with your voltage.
• To avoid the possibility of the unit being accidentally pulled off the working area, which could result in damage to the unit or personal injury, do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or benchtop.
• To avoid damage to the cord and possible fire or electrocution hazard, do not let cord come into contact with any hot surfaces including a stovetop.
• Do not operate the kettle unless the element is fully immersed.
• Do not operate this appliance in an appliance cabinet or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance cabinet, always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the unit is in contact with the walls of any cabinetry or on closing the cabinet door and touching the unit.
• Always unplug from the electrical outlet when not in use before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
• At no time, before or during boiling and cleaning immerse unit, plug or cord in water, or any other liquids similarly under running water too – this is to protect against the starting of a fire and electric shock that could induce injury to persons. If the unit, plug or cord should fall into water or other liquids, unplug the cord from the electrical output immediately. DO NOT reach into the water.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or authorized service representative.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, involving a risk of electric shock.
• To prevent damage to the appliance do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning; use a soft cloth with mild detergent.
• The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating.
• Kettle body/lid will be very hot to touch during use – only use handles. DO NOT TOUCH until the kettle body/lid has cooled down.
• WARNING: Do not remove the lid while the water is boiling. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the heating cycle.
• WARNING: Make sure the scale filter is in place before using, if the filter is removed, scalding may occur during the heating cycle.
• CAUTION: Position the lid so that steam is directed away from the handle.
• The appliance is only to be used with the power base provided.
• The heating element surface is subject to residual heat after use.
• To avoid damage to the unit or potentially cause physical damage to the user, DO NOT FILL WATER OVER “MAX” WATER LEVEL MARK and do not remove the water scale filter to operate the kettle.

SPECIAL CORDSET INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over unintentionally or pulled on by children.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Before using your Signature Kettle for the first time, remove any dust from shipping by wiping the unit, with a damp cloth (see Cleaning & Maintenance Instructions on page 5).

2. Add fresh, cold water, watching level in water window. Always fill the kettle between the minimum (0.5L) and maximum (1.7L) marks. Overfilling could cause boil-over. Underfilling may damage the heating element and reduce the product life.

3. Close the lid by pressing down until it locks shut.

4. Make sure the unit is plugged in, then place the kettle on the power base.

5. Flip the switch downwards at the base of the kettle. The ON/OFF switch will illuminate to indicate the kettle is heating.

6. The kettle will switch off automatically once the water has boiled and the ON / OFF switch will no longer be illuminated. Lift the kettle from the power base and pour the water.

BOIL DRY PROTECTION
If the kettle is operated without water, it will automatically cut-out, preventing any damage to the element. If this occurs, allow the kettle to cool before filling with cold water and re-boiling.

AUTO SHUT-OFF
In the event of overheating, the kettle will automatically shut down to prevent damage.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool before cleaning.
• Wipe the kettle and base of unit with a soft, damp cloth.
• Be sure that the electric kettle socket is kept dry.
• Dry all parts after every use.
• Never immerse kettle or power base in water.
• Any other servicing should be performed by an authorised service representative.

REMOVABLE SCALE FILTER

• This kettle features a mesh filter to remove scale deposits and clean water.
• The filter can be removed by grasping it and pulling upward. Run under hot water and rub with a clean cloth or brush. Replace the filter; it will snap back into place.

DECALCIFICATION

• Decalcification refers to removing mineral deposits, which may form in the interior and on heating plate of the kettle over time. This can result in discolouration that can look the colour of rust. Please note this is NOT rust, the interior of the kettle is stainless steel and will not rust.
• To get the best performance from your Signature Kettle, decalcify your unit from time to time. Frequency will depend on the hardness of your tap water and how often you use your kettle.
• We suggest using a kettle descaler in order to dissolve these deposits or scale. Follow the directions on the descaler package.
• If a commercial descaler is not available, fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about 1cm. Heat the vinegar to a boil. Repeat this with cooled vinegar until all deposits are removed. When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse out several times with clean water.
