CONNECTION TO POWER SUPPLY

– After filling the kettle, position it on the base unit (7). Ensure that the kettle body is seated correctly on the contact unit on the base unit (7). OPERATION Insert the mains plug into an electrical outlet and press the ON button (5). The indicator light (6) will come on. As soon as the water reaches boiling point, the kettle will switch off automatically and the indicator light will extin- guish. To repeat the boiling process, press the ON button (5). Note: if the kettle has switched itself off upon reaching boil- ing point, there may be a delay of up to 15 minutes before it can be switched back on again. Should the kettle switch itself off before reaching boiling point is reached, remove the mains plug from the electrical outlet. If the boiling process is ended by removing the mains plug from the electrical outlet, the kettle will immediately switch itself back on when the mains plug is reinserted. Caution: if the kettle is empty, take care not to place it on its base with the switch in the ON position.6 BisTRo poURiNG oUT WATER – To remove the kettle from the base unit (7), hold it by its handle.

MAiNTENANCE ANd CARE SCALE FILTER Scale, or calcium, is a natural substance that forms when hard water is boiled. The filter serves to retain the calcium in the water kettle.

CLEANING AND REMOVAL OF THE FILTER

It is important to clean the filter regularly. The filter clips into the body and can be removed by pulling it upwards from the body. It can be cleaned by gentle brushing with a soft brush under running water.

KETTLE CLEAN AND DECALE

Remove scale using either a proprietary de-scaling product suitable for plastic kettles (following the instructions care- fully), or citrid acid. We recommend using citric acid as follows: Boil 1 litre of water, then unplug the kettle and stand it in an empty sink or bowl. Add 50gm of citric acid crystals gradually, then leave the kettle to stand. As soon as the effervescence subsides, empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Wipe the outside of the kettle thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove all traces of citric acid which may damage the finish. Do not use a more concentrated solution. Ensure that the electrical connections are completely dry before using the kettle. Citric acid crystals are available at most chemists. – Failure to de-scale may invalidate the guarantee. – Never use chemicals, steel wool or abrasive agents to clean the exterior of the kettle. – Only clean the appliance using a damp cloth. – Never immerse the item in water: remember this is an electrical applicant. – Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.iNsTRUCTioN foR UsE
