automatically. To re-boil, wait a few
seconds - the on/off switch needs
time to reset.
Note - To interrupt the boiling
ensure that the switch is in
the off position before
removing from the powerbase.
If you experience problems
●
with your kettle switching on
and off during use or
switching off before boiling,
check that the flat element is
free from scale - see
"descaling".
Your kettle is fitted with a filter to

hold back limescale particles.

kettle, don't worry - it is just
condensation.

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.
