Frequently Asked Questions - IG7050 Igenix

Why won't my kettle turn on?

Ensure it is plugged in properly, the on/off switch is pressed, the safety cut-out has not been activated, and there is power at the socket. If still not working, contact customer service.

Why does the kettle cut out before boiling?

This is usually due to a large build-up of limescale. Use a descaling agent to clean the kettle regularly.

How do I descale the kettle?

Use any regular descaling agent following its instructions. Do not fill above MAX to avoid spillage. After descaling, boil clean water several times to rinse.

Is the kettle guaranteed?

Yes, the kettle has a 2-year guarantee from the date of purchase covering mechanical and electrical defects. Consumables like filters are not covered.

What should I do if the kettle leaks?

Check if the lid is firmly closed. If overfilled (above MAX), boiling water may spill. If leakage persists, contact customer service.

Can I use the kettle without water?

No, never operate the kettle without water. It has a safety cut-out that will activate, but this should be avoided.

How do I clean the kettle?

Unplug and let cool. Do not immerse the kettle or base. Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Regularly descale to remove limescale.

What does the warranty cover after 6 months?

After 6 months and within 2 years, contact customer service with proof of purchase, model number (starts with IG), and batch number (starts with 5). They will decide repair or replacement.

How do I prevent odor in a new kettle?

Before first use, fill to MAX, boil, and pour away. Repeat several times with fresh water to remove any manufacturing residues.

Why is the kettle covered limescale quickly?

If you live in a hard water area, limescale builds up faster. Regularly descale using a suitable agent to maintain performance.

Operating Instructions

Before First Use

Before using the kettle for the first time, fill it with water to the MAX level, boil, and pour away. Repeat this several times, using fresh water each time you boil the kettle.

Using your Kettle

• Place the cordless base on a level, firm surface.
• Wherever possible, fill the kettle through the spout, as this will help reduce the amount of limescale that builds up on the filter.
• The amount of water can be measured by the level mark on the outside of the kettle. Never fill the kettle above the MAX level and ensure it is always above the MIN level.

Only fill the kettle with the amount of water you need, as this will save electricity.

Always make sure that the lid is firmly closed.

Place the kettle on the cordless base, making sure it is positioned correctly.

Plug in and switch on at the wall socket.

Put the ON/OFF switch to its 'ON' position, and the switch will illuminate.

When the water boils, the kettle will switch off automatically. The kettle can be switched off manually by putting the switch to the 'OFF' position.

To re-boil the kettle, switch it on again. If the appliance has just switched off, wait a minute or so before switching back on.

When the kettle has boiled, the water may be poured out through the spout.

This kettle is fitted with a safety cut-out to protect the kettle from damage in case of inappropriate use.

Should the kettle be accidentally operated without water, or if all of the water has evaporated, the safety cut-out will automatically switch off the heating element.

- In such a case, remove the plug from the wall socket immediately and refill the kettle. Allow the element to cool for a few minutes and then start using the kettle as normal.

Descaling

IMPORTANT: As this kettle is fitted with a concealed element it must be regularly descaled. The frequency of descaling depends on usage and the hardness of the water in your area.

Excessive amounts of scale can cause the kettle to switch off before reaching boiling point and cause damage to the element which is not covered by the guarantee.

• Any regular descaling agent may be used, provided the relevant instructions are observed.
• Do not fill the kettle to the upper mark to avoid spillage if the descaling agent causes the water to foam.
• To clean the kettle thoroughly of any decalcification residues, let it go through several boiling cycles using clean water with each cycle. Rinse the kettle with clean water afterwards.

Cleaning and Care

• Before cleaning the kettle, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.
• Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.
• Do not immerse the base or the kettle in any liquid. To clean the exterior, use a slightly damp lint free cloth.
• It is advisable to remove limescale deposits at regular intervals.
