3. Lid

4. Switch

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Fill to max, boil, discard the water, then rinse. Do this twice to remove any manufacturing dust, etc.

FILLING

1. Press the lid lock and open the lid.
2. Fill with at least 1 cup of water, but not above max.
3. Close the lid and press down to lock it.

USING YOUR KETTLE

1. Put the stand on a stable, level surface.
2. Plug the stand into the wall socket.
3. Put the kettle on the stand.
4. Move the switch to I.
5. The light will come on and the kettle will start to heat.
6. When the water boils the kettle will switch off.
7. To switch off manually, move the switch to 0, or simply lift the kettle off the stand.

GENERAL

When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don't worry – it's the steam used to switch off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents under the kettle.

BOIL DRY PROTECTION

1. This will shorten the life of the element. A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
2. You must then remove the kettle from its stand to reset the cut-out.
3. Sit the kettle on the work surface till it's cold.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Unplug the stand and let the kettle cool before cleaning.
2. Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth.
3. Open the lid.
4. Grip the top of the filter, and push it down and into the kettle to release it.
5. Lift or tip it out of the kettle.
6. Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.
7. Fit the bottom of the filter into the guides at the bottom of the spout.
8. Push the top of the filter towards the spout, to force the top edges of the filter into the hooks behind the spout.
9. Close the lid.
