Remove any packaging and promotional material from your kettle and position it on a stable, secure, dry and level work surface away from the edge.

Before connecting to a power source, make sure your mains supply voltage is the same as the one indicated on the appliance. Connect the plug to a suitable power outlet and make sure that the power cord does not overhang the work surface. Excess power cord can be stored in the power base.

Remove the kettle from the power base and open the lid. Fill your kettle to the maximum mark and close the lid.

Place the kettle back onto the power base. Switch the kettle on, allow it to boil then discard the water. Repeat twice. This will remove any residue left over from the manufacturing process.

If this kettle is filled above the maximum level mark, hot water may be ejected from the spout during boiling.

Beware of steam coming from the spout or lid especially during refilling.

Never open the lid when the kettle is boiling.

1. With the kettle switched off, plug the power base into a suitable power outlet.
2. Remove the kettle from the power base before filling it with water.
3. Fill the kettle with water. Don't overfill the kettle and always ensure that there is sufficient water in the kettle for it to operate correctly. This is approximately 250ml or 1 tea cup full. Always check the water level when the kettle is positioned on its power base.
4. Close the lid and then switch the kettle on. Make sure that the lid is closed correctly to ensure safe operation.
5. When the kettle is switched on, the water level windows will illuminate.
6. When the water reaches boiling point, the kettle will switch off automatically.
7. You may also switch the kettle off manually at any time using the on/off switch.

Always use caution when carrying the kettle when it is full of boiling water and when pouring it.

Energy saving hints and tips

A Breville kettle, if used correctly, is a very energy efficient device. Why not try some of these energy saving tips:

• Only boil the water you need. Overfilling your kettle by one cup is the equivalent to using an energy saving light bulb for one hour!
• It is not always necessary to re-boil your kettle. For example, one litre of water will still be at 90°C after five minutes - the perfect temperature for a cup of coffee.

Lighting Sequence

Kettle Illumination
Kettle plugged in, kettle on/off switch OFF	The Spectra stand-by illumination is active. The water chamber softly glows through the colour spectrum. The Spectra stand-by illumination will go out after approximately 20 mins.
Kettle plugged in, kettle on/off switch ON	The water chamber illuminates and changes from blue to red (assuming that the water is cool) to indicate the progress of the boiling cycle. The redder the illumination, the closer the water is to boiling.

Stand by Illumination

Your kettle is fitted with Spectra stand-by illumination that lights the kettle body with everchanging mood lighting. The Spectra stand-by illumination will go out after approximately 20 minutes.

To restart the Spectra stand-by illumination do one of the following:

- Lift the kettle off the power base and replace it again

- Unplug the kettle then plug it back in again

- Boil the kettle as normal

To switch off the Spectra stand-by illumination, simply turn the power supply off at the wall socket or remove the plug.

If the kettle boils dry

If the kettle is operated with insufficient water a built in fail-safe device will automatically switch off the kettle.

- Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool. When the kettle has cooled down sufficiently the device will reset itself.

- Once the device has reset, refill the kettle with cold water and use it as normal.

▲ Always unplug the kettle from the mains supply socket and allow it to completely cool down before cleaning or descaling it. Do not immerse the kettle, power base or power cord and plug in water or any other liquid.

1. Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a damp cloth and then polish with a soft dry cloth. Do not use steel wool pads or harsh/abrasive cleaners.
2. Descale your kettle regularly to keep it working efficiently. Use a proprietary descaling product following the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Cleaning the filter

▲ Before removing or refitting the filter, switch off the kettle and empty it. Allow it to cool completely, then unplug the power base from the mains supply socket. Never operate the kettle without the filter fitted.

• Open the lid and remove the filter from behind the spout.
• Rinse the filter under a tap whilst brushing it with a soft brush.
• In hard water areas it may be necessary to descale the filter using a descaling agent. Use a proprietary descaling product following the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
• The filter may be washed safely in the cutlery rack of a dishwasher.
• Refit the filter back into the kettle.
