RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Although all teas actually come from the same bush (camellia sinensis), their taste and type vary according to their region of production, method of processing (different fermenting, and drying processes and rolling techniques exist) and grade (whole or broken leaves, fannings and dust). – Green tea: Rolled dried leaves, which are chopped and lightly roasted to prevent them from fermenting. Leave to brew for 3 minutes only. Green teas are subtle- avoured, often bitter, and very pale in colour. – Black tea: Made from older leaves that are rolled, dried and fermented for a considerable period. Brew for 5 minutes (or longer for Turkish or Russian tea). Gives a powerful taste and a superb coppery colour. – Oolong tea: Midway between green and black tea. Slightly fermented. Brew for 7 minutes. Lighter in taste and paler than black colour. Although purists drink tea plain, you may prefer to add cold milk to your cup before pouring in the tea (with Indian or Ceylon tea), or add sugar and then lemon (with green or avoured teas).

CLEANING YOUR KETTLE

Unplug it. Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge. Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electrical connections or the switch must not come into contact with water. Do not use scouring pads.

CLEANING THE FILTER*

The removable lter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them falling into your cup when pouring. This lter neither treats nor removes the hardness of the water. It thus conserves all the qualities of the water. With very hard water, the lter can clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly. If it is wet, put it under a running tap, if dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the scale will not detach itself; it will then need descaling. *depending on model De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard. Temperature detection in the kettle may be affected by limescale. To de-scale your kettle: Using white vinegar which can be bought from hardware stores: –Fill the kettle with ½ litre of white vinegar, –Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating. Using citric acid: –Boil ½ litre of water, –Add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min. DE-SCALING10

IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS

PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC ACCIDENTS

THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE The kettle does not work –Check that your kettle is properly connected. –The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has caused the overheat cut-out to operate: allow the kettle to cool and ll it with water. Descale rst if scale has accumulated. Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after about 15 minutes.

See the guarantee conditions and list of centres in the booklet supplied with your kettle. The type and serial number are shown on the bottom of your kettle. This guarantee covers manufacturing defects and domestic use only. Any breakage or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions for use is not covered by the guarantee. The manufacturer reserves the right to modify the characteristics or components of its kettles at any time in the interests of the consumer. Do not use the kettle if damaged. No attempt must be made to dismantle the kettle or its safety devices. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after- sales service centre or a similarly qualied person, in order to avoid any danger. For a child, a burn or scald, even if slight, can sometimes be serious. As they grow up, teach your children to beware of hot liquids to be found in the kitchen. Position the kettle and its supply cord well to the rear of the work surface, out of the reach of children. If an accident does occur, run cold water over the scald immediately and call a doctor if necessary. In order to avoid any accident: do not carry your child or baby at the same time as drinking or carrying a hot drink. *depending on model Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary. To de-scale your lter* Soak the lter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid. Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.11 ENGLISH Your appliance contains many recoverable or recyclable materials. Take it to a local, civic waste collection point.
