Frequently Asked Questions - Canterbury RUSSELL HOBBS

How do I descale the kettle?

Descale at least monthly, even in soft water areas. Use a descaler suitable for plastic products. Follow the descaler instructions, rinse several times, then fill, boil, and discard the water to remove residues.

Can I use the kettle without water?

No, the kettle has a boil-dry cut-out that will switch it off if insufficient water is present. However, this may shorten the element's life. Always ensure at least 2 cups of water are inside before switching on.

How do I clean the water filter?

Turn off and cool the kettle. Open the lid, push the top of the filter down and back to release the hooks, then lift out. Rinse under running water with a soft brush. Reinsert by engaging the bottom hook, then press the top down and forward to lock.

What should I do if the kettle doesn't switch off?

Check that the lid is fully closed. If the lid is open, the kettle may not switch off. Ensure the lid is locked before use. If the problem persists, contact Customer Service.

Can I submerge the kettle or stand in water?

No, do not put the kettle, stand, cable, or plug in liquid. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth only. Keep all connectors dry.

How do I register for the extra year guarantee?

What should I do if the kettle is not working?

Check the instructions, plug fuse, and main fuse/circuit breaker. If still not working, consult your retailer. If unresolved, call Customer Service at 0845 658 9700 or email [e-mail].

Is the kettle safe for children to use?

Children aged 8 years and above can use the kettle if supervised and instructed on safe use. Children should not play with the appliance. Keep the kettle and cable out of reach of children under 8.

Why is there moisture on the stand after boiling?

This is normal. The steam used to switch off the kettle automatically condenses and escapes via vents under the kettle. Allow it to dry; it does not indicate a fault.

How can I avoid the kettle spitting boiling water?

Do not overfill above the max mark. Pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle. Ensure the lid is locked before switching on. If overfilled, boiling water may spit.

household use only

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

- Fill to max, boil, discard the water, then rinse. Do this 3 times, to remove manufacturing dust, etc.

POSITIONING

1 Put the stand on a stable, level surface.
2 Route the cable so it doesn't overhang, and can't be tripped over or caught.
3 Wind excess cable beneath the stand.

FILLING

4 Remove the kettle from the stand.
5 Press the lid lock to open the lid.
6 Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but don't fill above max.
7 If you overfill, the kettle may spit boiling water.
8 Close the lid, and press it down, to lock it closed.
9 Check the lid is closed, or the kettle won't switch off when it boils.

SWITCHING ON

10 Put the kettle on the stand – take care not to spill.
11 Plug the stand into a power socket (switch the socket on, if it's switchable).
12 Move the switch to | – the light will glow, and the kettle will heat up.

SWITCHING OFF

13 When the water boils, the kettle will switch itself off, and the light will go out.
14 To switch off manually, move the switch to ○.
15 Lifting the kettle off the stand will also switch it off.

GENERAL

16 Remove the kettle from the stand before pouring.
17 To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don't over-tilt the kettle.
18 Don't tilt the kettle backwards – water might get on to the control area.
19 If this happens, let the kettle dry before use – sit it somewhere warm for 12 hours.
20 When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don't worry – it's the steam used to switch the kettle off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents under the kettle.
21 Don't worry about discolouration on the floor of the kettle. It's due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.

USING WITH INSUFFICIENT WATER

22 This will shorten the life of the element.
23 A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
24 To avoid cycling on and off, you must remove the kettle from the stand and let it go cold.
25 Sit the kettle on the work surface till it's cold.
26 Don't fill the kettle till it's cold, or it may spit.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1 Check that the kettle is switched off – move the switch to , or lift it off the stand.
2 Unplug the stand (switch the socket off first, if it's switchable), and let the kettle cool down fully.
3 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.
4 Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
5 Don't put the kettle or stand in liquid.
6 Don't use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

DESCALE – EVEN IN SOFT WATER AREAS

7 Limescale may be white, coloured, even rusty-looking, but it's normally visible.
8 Phosphate scale isn't generally visible, but it's there, even in soft water areas.
9 All scale causes overheating, reduces the kettle's life, and may trigger the boil-dry cut-out.

10 So, even with soft water, descale at least monthly, to help keep your kettle in working order.

11 Use a descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts).

12 Follow the instructions provided with the descaler, rinse several times, then fill, boil and discard the water, to ensure no residues are left.

Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a repair charge.

WATER FILTER

13 Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy appearance. The filter will prevent these particles going into your drink. If you see deposits on the filter, clean it, otherwise the performance of your kettle will drop, your drinks may contain scale, and the water inside the kettle may look cloudy.

CLEANING THE FILTER

14 Switch the kettle off, and let it cool.
15 Open the lid.
16 Push the top of the filter down and back, into the kettle, to release the hooks on the top of the filter from the rectangular holes at the top of the spout.
17 Lift the filter out of the kettle, to disengage the bottom hook from the hole at the bottom of the spout.
18 Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.
19 Lower the filter into the kettle, and engage the bottom hook in the hole at the bottom of the spout.
20 Press the top of the filter gently down and towards you, to force the hooks on the top of the filter into the rectangular holes on either side of the spout.
21 Close the lid.
