This could lead to steam escaping from around the lid, damaging the automatic switch-off mechanism and possibly causing bodily injury. – Never immerse the item in water, remember this is an electrical appliance. – Only clean the appliance using a damp cloth. – To disconnect, turn any control to «off» then remove plug from wall outlet. – Always unplug the appliance by holding the plug, not the cord. – Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. – Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet when the kettle is not in use and before cleaning.

SWITCHING OFF THE KETTLE MANUALLY

The ON/OFF switch (5) can also be used to switch off the kettle before the water boils. SAFETY CUT-OFF The kettle is protected against damage resulting from use with an insufficient volume of water. A safety cut-off will automatically disconnect the power supply if the heating element overheats. Should the kettle ever boil dry during operation, you must leave it to cool for 10 minutes before re-filling it with cold water. The safety cut-off will reset automatically once it has cooled.

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 cam 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. Storage – Excessive cord length can be stored on the cord retainer (7) in the base unit (6). Note: Ensure that the mains power supply is switched off when you are not using the kettle. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.8 BiStro Correct disposal for this product This marking indicates that this product should not be disposed with other household wastes throughout the EU.
