3.2 Use and care:
3.2.1. Open the lid of the kettle, fill with tap
water to the desired level. (Min. capacity
is 0.5L and max. capacity is 1.7L). In hard
water areas, using purified or filtered water
is recommended to reduce the amount of
scale build up in the kettle. (Note: You may
also fill through the spout, but be careful not
to overfill – use water level gauge to check).
3.2.2. Close the lid until it clips. Place the
kettle on the base and plug into the mains.
3.2.3. To switch on the kettle, press the On/
Off switch to position 1. (CAUTION): Do not
place downward pressure on the switch).
When the water has boiled the kettle will
automatically switch off. You can stop the
kettle at any time by pressing the On/Off
switch to position 0.
3.2.4. Pour slowly and carefully. If you wish
to re-boil, please allow a minute for the ket-
tle to cool down.
3.2.5 Warning: If the kettle has just boiled it
will be full of steam that will escape if the lid
is opened.
3.2.6 IMPORTANT: Do not open the lid when
steam is coming out of the spout. Before
pouring or filling always remember to dis-
connect from electricity.
3.2.7 Note: If the kettle is switched on when
empty or with insufficient water, then the
kettle will switch off automatically to protect
against dry boiling. Wait ±15minutes until
the heating element cools down, refill with
tap water and use as normal. This protec-
tion function is not designed for regular use,
as it will shorten the life of the element. If
the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may be
ejected. The kettle is only to be used with
the stand provided (cordless models only).
The appliance must not be immersed in
liquid during cleaning. If the supply cord is
damaged, the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person must
replace it in order to avoid a hazard.
4. Cleaning and Maintenance
4.1. DESCALING
Always ensure that the kettle is
disconnected from the mains before
descaling. Scaling or furring is a common
problem in hard water areas.
4.2. Fill the kettle to MAX position and boil
the water. Remove the kettle from the power
socket and the base unit and place it in an
empty sink or bowl.
4.3. Add 50 grams of Citric Acid (available
from chemists) or other descaler products
(available at supermarkets) to the water or
as directed.
4.4. 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 damaged, 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.
6.2. 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 approximately 15 minutes,
then fill the kettle with cold water. This will
reset the cutout so that the kettle can be
used again.
6.3. Do not overfill. Check the water level
gauge when filling.
6.4. Never remove the cord from the kettle
while in operation. Switch off the appliance
first.
