• Do not remove the kettle from the power base during operation. Ensure the kettle has switched off after the water has boiled or reached the selected temperature, before removing the kettle from the power base. If the kettle is removed from the power base during the boiling cycle, the kettle will automatically switch off.

Using Your Kambrook Kettle

Before First Use

Remove any packaging material and promotional labels before using your kettle for the first time. It is recommended before the first use to fill the kettle to the maximum level with cold tap water, bring to the boil and then discard the water. Your kettle will only operate when positioned on the power base with the ON/OFF switch in the 'ON' position. The kettle will automatically switch off once the water has boiled.

Operating Your Kettle

1. To fill the kettle with water, remove it from the power base and open the lid by pressing the button on the handle of the kettle and the lid will lift upwards. Fill with the desired amount of water. Do not operate the kettle without water. Always fill the kettle between the 'MIN' and the 'MAX' marks on the water window. Too little water will result in the kettle switching off.
2. Ensure that the lid is closed before placing the kettle on the power base.
3. Place the kettle firmly onto the power base and plug the power cord into a 230V or 240V power outlet and switch on.
4. Press the ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position. The power 'ON' light will illuminate.

NOTE: Never operate the kettle dry - too little water will result in the kettle switching 'OFF'. Do not overfill the kettle - filling above the 'MAX' mark on the water window may result in boiling water splashing from the kettle.

NOTE: This kettle must only be used with the power base supplied. Use caution when pouring water from your kettle, as boiling water will scald. Do not pour the water too quickly.

NOTE: Do not remove the kettle from the power base during operation. Ensure the kettle has switched to the 'OFF' position after the water has boiled before removing the kettle from the power base.

1. The kettle will automatically switch 'OFF' once the water has boiled. Lift the kettle from the power base and pour the water. Take care to hold the kettle level, especially when filled to the maximum level. To re-boil, it may be necessary to wait for a few seconds to allow the control to reset.
2. The kettle should be stored on its power base when not in use. The power outlet should be switched off and the power cord unplugged from the power outlet when not in use.

WARNING: This kettle is designed for the boiling of quality drinking water only. Never use it to heat or boil any other liquids or foodstuffs. The lid should always be firmly in place and locked closed before use.

Using Your Kambrook Kettle Continued...

WARNING: Do not release the lid while the water is boiling. Ensure the lid is closed whilst boiling.

Safety Boil Dry Protection

The kettle is fitted with a safety device which protects against overheating should the appliance be operated with insufficient water. If this occurs, the kettle will stop heating and automatically switch 'OFF'. Should this occur, switch off at the power outlet and unplug. Allow kettle to cool before refilling. Remove the kettle from the power base and add water. Return the kettle to the power base. The safety device will automatically reset.

Care, Cleaning and Storage

Always switch off at the power outlet and then unplug the kettle from the power outlet before cleaning.

Cleaning the Kettle Exterior

The outside surface of the kettle may be wiped over with a damp cloth and polished with a soft, clean dry cloth.

Cleaning the Removable Filter

The filter fitted inside the kettle over the spout is removable for cleaning. To remove, pull the filter downwards to unclip the bottom and pull away from the kettle. Clean the filter in warm, soapy water. To replace, clip the bottom of the filter back first and then the sides, being careful not to place too much force on the filter.

WARNING: Do not touch hot surfaces. Allow the kettle to cool down before moving or cleaning any parts.

TIP: The filter could become damaged with time, please check regularly and replace if found damaged.

NOTE: Ensure the kettle has cooled down before attempting to clean the filter.

NOTE: Do not use chemical, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the inside or outside of the kettle.

WARNING: To prevent damage to the kettle, do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning; use a soft cloth and mild detergents.

WARNING: Never immerse the kettle base, switch area, power base of power supply cord in water or allow moisture to come in contact with these parts.

Mineral Deposits and Discolouration

Due to the large surface area of the immersed element (interior base), discolouration due to mineral deposits from tap water may appear more obvious by leaving a brown stain on the base. THIS IS NOT RUST. To remove the discolouration, follow the instructions “Removing Mineral Deposits”.

Care, Cleaning and Storage Continued...

Removing Mineral Deposits

Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the kettle interior and water window to discolour over time. This may be removed by using a proprietary kettle descaler which is available from most leading supermarkets, department stores and hardware stores.

Alternatively:

1. Fill the kettle until Standard 23 size full with 1 part vinegar (or a few slices of lemon) and 2 parts water, bring to the boil and allow to stand overnight.

2. Empty the solution from the kettle. Fill the kettle with clean water, bring to boil and discard the water. Repeat and the kettle will be ready for use.

Storage

Ensure the kettle is switched off, cleaned and dried before storing. Ensure that the lid is closed and locked firmly into place. Wrap the power cord around the cord storage under the power base. Stand the kettle upright on the power base. Do not store anything on top.
