Frequently Asked Questions - Colours Plus 20417 RUSSELL HOBBS

How do I clean the filter?

To clean the filter, open the lid, push the hook on top of the filter down, then lift it out. Rinse under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush. Reinsert by engaging the bottom hook in the spout and pressing the top to lock.

How often should I descale the kettle?

Descale the appliance at least monthly using a proprietary descaler. Follow the instructions on the descaler package. Failure to descale may cause faults not covered under the guarantee.

What does the boil-dry protection do?

If the kettle is switched on without enough water, the boil-dry cut-out will automatically switch it off. To reset, remove the kettle from the stand and let it cool before using again.

Can I immerse the kettle or base in water?

No. Do not put the kettle, stand, cable, or plug in any liquid. Keep them away from edges of worktops and ensure connectors stay dry.

What should I do if the kettle does not work?

First check the plug fuse and main fuse/circuit breaker. If it still doesn't work, consult your retailer. If the problem persists, contact Customer Service for advice before returning the product.

How do I register for the extended warranty?

Visit www.russellhobbs.co.uk/productregister/ within 28 days of purchase to register. You’ll get a chance to win £10,000, an extra year guarantee, and free rewards.

Can children use this kettle?

This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above if they have been supervised/instructed and understand the hazards. Children shall not play with the appliance, and cleaning should not be done by children unless older than 8 and supervised.

Why is there moisture on the stand after boiling?

It is normal. The steam used to switch off the kettle automatically condenses and escapes via vents under the kettle, causing some moisture on the stand.

How do I use the kettle for the first time?

Fill the kettle to the max mark with water, boil, discard the water, then rinse. Repeat this process twice to remove any manufacturing dust before normal use.

What is the guarantee period?

The guarantee covers defects affecting product functionality within two years of first retail purchase, provided the product is used and maintained according to instructions. Your statutory rights are unaffected.

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.

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.
