4. Cleaning and Maintenance
4.1.1. DESCALING
Always ensure that the kettle is
disconnected from the mains before
descaling. Scaling or furring is a common
problem in hard water areas.
4.1.2. Fill the kettle to MAX position and boil the
water. Remove the kettle from the base unit and the
plug from the power socket and place it in an empty
sink or bowl.
4.1.3. Add 50 grams of Citric Acid (available from
chemists) or other descaler products (available at
supermarkets) to the water or as directed.
4.1.4. Leave it to stand for approximately 5 minutes
or until the effervescence subsides, and then empty
the water. Rinse thoroughly, and wipe.
5. Anomalies and repair
5.1. Take the appliance to an authorised support
centre if product is damaged or other problems arise.
5.2. If the connection to the mains has been dam-
aged, it must be replaced and you should proceed as
you would in the case of damage.
6. Additional warnings for kettles
6.1. The kettle and base (where applicable) must not
be operated with any other models of kettle.
6.1.2. The kettle is fitted with a dry-operation cutout
that switches off the kettle if it has boiled dry. If this
happens allow the kettle to cool down for approxi-
mately 15 minutes, then fill the kettle with cold water.
This will reset the cutout so that the kettle can be
used again.
6.1.3. Do not overfill. Check the water level gauge
when filling.
6.1.4. Never remove the plug from the wall socket
while in operation. Switch off the appliance first.
6.1.5. Ensure the lid is closed properly before switch-
ing on, to prevent water splashing out when boiling.
Do not open the lid when boiling
6.1.6. After the kettle has boiled it may need a minute
to cool down before restarting.
6.1.7. Take care when pouring. Pour slowly and do
not over-tilt.
6.1.8. Make sure the kettle is always used on a flat
surface.
6.1.9. Water will remain hot for considerable time
after boiling and will present a scalding hazard. Take
care and keep away from children.
6.1.10. The outside surface of the kettle will become
hot during use. To avoid injuries only hold the handle.
6.1.11. Take care to avoid contact with the steam
coming from the lid or spout.
