Boil-dry protection
If you switch on with too little
water, your kettle will cut
out automatically. Switch off,
remove from the powerbase
and let it cool down before
re-filling. When it has cooled
down, the switch will reset
itself.
Care and cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug your
kettle and let it cool down.
The outside and powerbase
Wipe with a damp cloth, then
dry. Do not use abrasives -
they will scratch the metal and
plastic surfaces.
The inside
Wipe with bicarbonate of
soda on a damp cloth. Rinse
thoroughly.
Even though your kettle
comes with a filter, you still
need to clean the inside (and
the filter) regularly.

Descaling
Regular descaling of the flat
element will improve the
performance of your kettle.
If the kettle is not descaled
regularly the build up of
limescale may result in the
following:
problems may be
experienced with the kettle
switching on and off during
use or switching off before
boiling.
the kettle may take longer
to boil.
the flat element may be
damaged.
Please note: Failure to descale
your kettle may invalidate your
guarantee.
When limescale starts to build
up on the heating element,
buy a suitable descaler and
descale your kettle. After
descaling, boil with fresh
water several times and
discard. Clean any descaler off
the kettle - it can damage the
parts.
Some regions of the country
have chalky water. This makes
boiled water look cloudy and
leaves a deposit on the side of
the kettle. This is normal but
can be removed with regular
cleaning.
Alternatively, to reduce
limescale build up, use filtered
water to fill your kettle.
