You MUST fill the kettle above the MIN level but MUST NOT exceed the MAX
level.

Push the lid closed (avoid touching the
lid button).
4. Place the kettle onto the power base.

the final temperature may be slightly higher than the selected option,
particularly when using the lower temperature options. The display will show
the live temperature of the water. For accurate results when heating to 40ºC

Cleaning your kettle
- First read the instructions in the section titled “WARNINGS.
- Always disconnect the kettle from electrical outlet before cleaning.
- Before cleaning make sure the kettle is cold enough.
- Empty the kettle, clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a clean, damp cloth to preserve its original highly polished finish. Dry and clean with a soft cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring agents of any kind inside or on the exterior of the kettle.
- Only use the dry cloth to wipe the base of the kettle.
- Avoid wetting the electrical parts.
- NEVER immerse the kettle or power base in water or other liquid, and make sure the electrical kettle socket is kept dry.
Boil dry safety function
When the kettle is boiled without enough water it will shut down and must be
allowed to cool before it can be used again.
When the kettle has cooled and reset, you can fill it with water and use as
normal.
Descaling your kettle
Your kettle should be de-scaled regularly, depending on how often you use it
and how hard your water is. Excessive scale can cause the kettle to switch off
before boiling and may damage the elements, affecting your warranty.
Half fill the kettle with tap water and add the juice of 1 lemon to the water.
Boil this mixture and allow it to stand for 15 minutes. Re-boil the mixture
and allow it to stand a further 15 minutes. Re-boil this mixture a third time
then rinse the kettle well.
Or purchase an all-purpose de-scaling product suitable for your kettle and
follow the instructions on the pack. Ensure the electric connections are
completely dry before using the kettle.
Cleaning the filter
Make sure the device is disconnected from the power outlet, and the kettle is empty and completely cool.
-
To clean the filter, remove it by simply pushing the tab (A) in the top of the filter downwards, then pull the filter and out of its housing.
-
Wash the filter in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
-
Refit the filter by aligning the bottom lug (B) on the filter with the bottom slot in the spout.
Then push the top tab (A) on the filter back into its housing until it locks in place.
