to use your kettle

1 Fill the kettle through either the spout or by removing the lid. The water level must be between 'MAX' and 2 cups (500mls).
- Be economical: do not boil more water than you need.
- To improve the quality of your drinks always use fresh water.
- Empty the kettle after each use.
2 Check the lid is closed.
3 Plug in and switch on. The indicator light will come on.
4 Your kettle will boil and switch off automatically. To re-boil, wait a few seconds - the on/off switch needs time to reset.

- If you experience problems with your kettle switching on and off during use or switching off before boiling, check that the flat element free from scale - see “descaling”.

• Your kettle is fitted with a filter to hold back limescale particles.
• If you find drops of water under your kettle, don't worry - it is just condensation.

boil-dry protection

- If you switch on with too little water, your kettle will cut out automatically. Switch off, remove from the powerbase and let it cool down before re-filling. When it has cooled down, the switch will reset itself.

care and cleaning

- Before cleaning, unplug your kettle and let it cool down.

the outside and powerbase

- Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry. Do not use abrasives - they will scratch the metal and plastic surfaces.

the inside

- Even though your kettle comes with a filter, you still need to clean the inside (and the filter) regularly.

the filter

1 Remove the lid.
2 Slide the filter out ①.
3 either rinse under the tap or use a soft brush.
or when descaling your kettle, drop the filter in too. Rinse thoroughly.
4 Slide the filter back in to refit 2.

is descaling

• Regular descaling of the flat element will improve the performance of your kettle. If the kettle is not descaled regularly the build up of limescale may result in the following:
• problems may be experienced with the kettle switching on and off during use or switching off before boiling.
  ● the kettle may take longer to boil.
  ● the flat element may be damaged.

Please note: Failure to descale your kettle may invalidate your guarantee.

• When limescale starts to build up on the heating element, buy a suitable descaler and descale your kettle.
  After descaling, boil with fresh water several times and discard. Clean any descaler off the kettle - it can damage the parts.

- Some regions of the country have chalky water. This makes boiled water look cloudy and leaves a deposit on the side of the kettle. This is normal but can be removed with regular cleaning.

- Alternatively, to reduce limescale build up, use filtered water to fill your kettle.
