Anti-Scale Mesh Filter
Scale is caused by lime and calcium in hard water. The mesh
filter will prevent these suspended particles from being poured
out of the kettle. The filter should be cleaned periodically to
ensure optimum performance. To clean the filter, unplug kettle
and allow to cool. The mesh filter may be removed by pressing
inward through the spout with a finger. Rinse filter under run-
ning water and brush with a soft brush. An old, clean tooth-
brush works well.

Using Your Electric Kettle

BEFORE FIRST USE: Fill kettle to MAX indicator on water level
window and bring to a boil until kettle shuts off automatically.
Discard water and repeat. Rinse out kettle 2 or 3 times. The
kettle is now ready for use.
1. Remove from power base before filling.
2. Fill kettle with required amount of water. Ensure that water
level is between MIN and MAX on the water level indicator.
If using the mesh filter, it must be in place.
WARNING: If kettle is overfilled there is a risk that boiling
water may spit out of the spout.
3. Make sure that the lid is in place and the power base is on
a level surface. If lid is not in place, auto shut-off will not
operate.
4. Plug into outlet and turn on ( l ).
5. The kettle will switch off (O) automatically when the water
has boiled. (Remember, the surface of the kettle gets hot;
take care–only grip the kettle by the handle).
6. After use, unplug kettle and empty.
NOTE: Use water only in the kettle. If used for foods or beverage
such as tea or coffee, the warranty will be voided.
If Heating Element Discolors
It is normal for stainless steel heating elements to discolor.
This does not affect the performance of the kettle. Do not use
abrasive scouring pads or cleaners as this may damage the
stainless steel surface.
