Frequently Asked Questions - WK1311 TRISTAR

How to use the TriStar WK1311 kettle for the first time?

Read the user manual. Remove all packaging. Fill the kettle with clean water up to the MAX level, boil and discard this water. Do not consume it.

What to do if the kettle does not turn on?

Check that the base is plugged in and the On/Off button is pressed. Make sure the kettle is correctly placed on the base. If the problem persists, unplug and contact after-sales service.

How to descale the kettle?

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water (500 ml each). Boil, let sit for several hours or overnight, then empty and rinse. Repeat if necessary.

How to clean the Aquascreen filter?

Remove the filter by holding it firmly between thumb and index finger and pulling it gently from one edge. Rinse it under running water, then replace it before using the kettle.

Why does water overflow during boiling?

You have probably overfilled the kettle. Do not exceed the MAX mark on the water level window. Also check that the filter is correctly installed.

The kettle stops before water boils. What to do?

If the kettle is still hot, the thermal safety switch may prevent it from restarting immediately. Wait 15-20 seconds before pressing the On/Off button again. If the problem persists, limescale may be blocking the bottom.

Can I heat milk or other liquids?

No, the kettle is designed only for boiling water. Other liquids can contaminate the interior and damage the appliance.

How to remove the anti-scale filter?

Hold the filter firmly between your thumb and index finger, then pull it gently starting from the right or left edge. Make sure the kettle is cold.

Why does the On/Off button not stay in On position?

This indicates that the water is already hot (the kettle just boiled) or the thermal safety is activated. Let it cool for a few seconds and try again. If the water is cold, the button should stay pressed.

How to maintain the kettle daily?

Unplug and let cool before cleaning. Never immerse the kettle or base in water. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Descale regularly with white vinegar.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

GROUNDED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electric shock this appliance has a grounded plug. (3 pins) If the plug does not fit fully into the electrical outlet contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way or use an adaptor.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Read all instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.
• Remove all packaging.
  Water boiled for the first time should be discarded.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE

• The filter has been installed on the kettle before shipping. If it has been removed, install the filter before using the kettle. Hold the filter securely and place the slot in the filter over the tab in the cover. Push gently and the filter will snap into position.

• Do not use the kettle without the filter in position as water may spill out when boiling.

• Do not remove the filter when the kettle is hot.

• Fill kettle between the minimum and maximum levels shown on the water level window.

Note:

Do not attempt to fill while the kettle is on the power base.

Do not use for other than boiling water. Other liquids will contaminate the interior of the kettle.

Do not fill past the MAX level indicated on the water level window. Overfilling may cause water to spill out when boiling.

• Place kettle on the base making sure it is correctly engaged on its base.
• Depress the On/Off Switch to the 'On' position. The indicator light will illuminate to indicate that the kettle is in the boil cycle. Once the water has boiled, the On/Off Switch will automatically switch to the 'Off' position and the indicator light will go out.
• If you want to use the kettle again, allow the thermal safety switch to cool down for 15 - 20 seconds then depress the On/Off Switch to the On position. If the On/Off Switch does not remain in the 'On' position, the water is hot enough to use without reheating.
• Unplug cord from wall outlet before lifting kettle from power base. Grip the kettle by the Handle only, as the surface and lid will be hot.
• Return the kettle to the power base or place on a heat resistant surface after use.
• If the kettle is accidentally switched on when empty, the thermostat will automatically shut it off to prevent the kettle from overheating. If this situation occurs, unplug the power base and let the kettle cool before refilling.
• It is recommended that the power cord be disconnected from the wall outlet when not in use. Do not attempt to connect any other appliance to the power base or tamper with the connector in any way.

CARE AND CLEANING

• Unplug power cord from wall outlet. Empty out remaining water and allow kettle to cool before cleaning.
  If necessary, remove and clean the Aquascreen filter (R) by rinsing under running water. The filter can be removed by grasping firmly between your thumb and forefinger and gently pull off starting at either the right or left edge.
• Under normal use, a deposit of scale may form on the inside of the kettle and cause some discolouration. Scale, which has accumulated inside the kettle, can be removed by boiling equal parts of white vinegar and water (500 ml / 2 cups of each is recommended). Once the water has boiled, allow mixture to stand several hours or overnight. Empty out mixture and fill kettle to the MAX level with fresh water. Bring water to a boil and discard. For heavy scale build-up, repeat this process.

Note: This build-up can be delayed by pouring out old water and refilling before each use.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners
• Do not allow water to enter the power base
• Do not immerse kettle or power base in water or other liquid.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be of a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
