SAFETY NOTICES

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

- Read the instructions and keep them safe. Pass them in if you pass the kettle on. Remove all packaging, but keep it till you are satisfied the kettle is working.

- Please make sure that the voltage used is the same as that indicated for the kettle (220-240 V, 50 Hz).

- Do not put the kettle, Stand (1), Power Cord (7) or plug in any liquid; do not use the kettle in a bathroom, near water, or outdoors.

• The kettle must only be used under the supervision of a responsible adult.

- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use Handle (5) or knobs.

• Do not open the Lid (4) while the water is heating.

• Pour slowly, and do not over-tilt the kettle.

- Keep the kettle, Stand (1) and Power Cord (7) away from the edges of worktops and out of reach of children.

- Unplug the Stand (1) when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. Let the kettle cool down fully before cleaning and storing away.

- Check the Lid (4) is properly closed before switching the kettle on; otherwise it may not switch off.

- Check the kettle is properly located on the Stand (1) before switching on.

- If pouring water into the kettle the water level must be kept within the range of the maximum and minimum water levels set by the Water Scale (2).

- Remove the kettle from its Stand (1) before filling or pouring.

- Keep the kettle, Stand (1), Power Cord (7) and plug away from the sources of heat.

• Use the kettle only for heating water.

- This kettle can only be used together with the Stand (1) provided. At the same time please keep the Stand (1) clean and dry. When you want to pour water in or out of the kettle, please first take the kettle away from the Stand (1).

- Do not use the kettle if it is damaged or malfunctions.

• Household use only.

• To avoid splashing pour slowly and do not over-tilt.

- Do not tilt backward, water may get into controls. If this happens, let the kettle dry before use sit it somewhere warm for 12 hours.

- If you see moisture on the Stand (1) after lifting the kettle, do not worry. It is the steam used to switch the kettle off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents under the kettle.

- You may see some discoloration on the floor of the kettle. It is due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

• Fill to the max mark, boil, and discard the water then rinse. Do it 3 times to remove manufacturing dust, etc.

APPLIANCEUSE

• Sit the Stand (1) on a stable, level surface, near a wall socket.
• Rout the Power Cord (7) so it does not overhang, and can not be caught or tripped over.
• Remove the kettle from the Stand (1).
• Open the Lid (4), pressing the Lid Open Button (8) and fill the kettle with water not less than the minimum mark, but not above the max mark. If you overfill, the kettle may spit boiling water.
• Close the Lid (6), check if it is closed, otherwise the kettle may not switch off when it boils.
• Plug the Stand (1) into a wall socket (switch the socket on if it is necessary).
• Place the kettle base firmly on the Stand (1), switch it on.
• When the water has boiled, the kettle will turn off, unless you turn on the warm-keeping function. To turn the keep warm, you should press the Keep Warm Button (3). And you can keep the temperature up to +99°C. The kettle will turn itself on, as soon as the temperature is lower.

• You can then replace the kettle on the Stand (1).

Boiling dry

• A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off. Do not turn the kettle on while there is no water inside. If you continue, you will shorten the life of the element.
  • Take the kettle off the Stand (1), and leave it to cool down. If you leave it on the Stand (1), plugged in, after a boil-dry, it will cycle on and off till the element burns out.
  • Do not fill it till it is cold, or it may spit.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning

• Unplug the Stand (1), and let the kettle cool down.
- Wipe the kettle inside and out, with a damp cloth. You may use a little household detergent, but if you do, rinse well to avoid tainting the water. Wipe the Stand (1) with a dry cloth.
- Keep the connectors and sockets dry.
• Take out the filter and wash it clean with water.

Note:

• Do not put the kettle or Stand (1) in water or any other liquid.
• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

De-scaling

Scale build-up will cause the element to overheat, reducing its working life. It may also cause the safety cut-out to operate prematurely, switching the kettle off before the water boils. As the element is mounted beneath the kettle, there are no awkward nooks and crannies for the scale to get a foothold. It can build up only on the walls and floor of the kettle, where it can be seen and dealt with.

To minimize scale build-up:

- Empty the kettle after each use; do not allow water to stand in the kettle overnight; use filtered water instead of ordinary tap water.

• Descale the kettle regularly using a proprietary brand of descaler suitable for use in kettles. In areas of very hard water descaling may be necessary as often as once a month.
• When descaling, follow the instructions on the packet of descaler. When descaling has finished, empty the kettle and rinse it out several times with fresh water, then fill with fresh water, boil, and discard the water. This should ensure that no chemical residues are left in the kettle.

Note: Products returned during the guarantee period with faults that are directly related to scale build-up will be subject to a repair charge.

Filter

The scale particles that remain suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy appearance, depending on the hardness of the water.

The filter will prevent these particles passing into your drink. You must ensure that the filter is kept clean and clear of deposits otherwise the performance of your kettle may be adversely affected, your drinks may contain scale particles, and the water inside the kettle may look cloudy.

You should clean the filter whenever there are any noticeable deposits left on it, and especially if pouring is affected in any way.

• Make sure that your hands are clean and free from soap, hand cream, or anything else which might leave a taint.
- Switch the kettle off and let it cool down fully.
- Open the Lid (4).
- Grip the top of the filter and pull it up, out of the kettle. Rinse it under a tap whilst brushing it with a soft brush. Rinse the kettle out with fresh water, in case any scale particles have fallen inside.
- Slide the filter back inside the kettle. Make sure that the filter is fixed firmly. Close the Lid (4).

Note: To prevent damage to the filter, avoid pressing the mesh.
