USER MANUAL 232135 PRINCESS

This attractive Princess Classic Filter

Kettle, one of the products in our Classic

range, is constructed from sturdy plastic

with a brushed stainless-steel finish. Your

kettle can filter and boil water very quickly.

The appliance has a jug fitted with a

removable lid with integral Brita Memo, a

Brita water filter cartridge, and an external

indication of the water level. The Kettle can

boil 1 l filtered water or 1.7 l unfiltered

The Brita water filter cartridge removes

calcium carbonate and other substances,

such as chlorine, that afect the smell and

taste of your drinking water. In addition, the

filter cartridge also reduces the

concentration of aluminium, specific heavy

metals (such as copper and lead) and

certain pesticides that may be present in

the water. Moreover organic contaminants

will also be filtered out of the water.

Consequently, the filter yields optimum

freshly filtered water – ideally suited to the

preparation of delicious hot and cold

drinks, and to cooking delicious meals.

The Brita filter also reduces the formation

of limescale in your kettle.

The kettle’s base is connected to a 220 -

240V mains power supply. The jug can

rotate through 360° on the round base.

The power cord can be stored by wrapping

it around the convenient lugs on the base.
