When using electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

- To protect against electrical hazards do not immerse the mains plug, power base, or kettle in water or any other liquid. Do not use in the bathroom or near any source of water. Do not use outdoors.

- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

- Do not open the lid while the water is boiling.

• Take care when pouring. Pour the water slowly, and do not overfill the kettle.

- Water can remain hot for a considerable time after boiling and can present a scald hazard. Keep the kettle, the power base, and the mains lead away from the edge of worktops and out of the reach of children.

- Do not allow the mains lead to hang over the edge of the table or worktop, or anywhere it may be

accidentallycaught or tripped over.

• Close supervision is necessary when the kettle is used near children.
• Unplug the power base from the wall socket when not in use, before displacing and before cleaning. Allow the kettle to cool down fully before cleaning and before storing away.
• Ensure that the lid is closed before switching the kettle on, otherwise it may not automatically switch off.
• Check that the kettle is properly located on the power base before switching it on.
• Do not switch on unless the kettle contains at least 1 cupful of water, otherwise you may damage it.
• Do not fill above the bottom of the Max. mark on the water level indicator (1.7 liter)
• Remove the kettle from its power base before filling or pouring.
• Do not place the kettle, power base or mains lead on or near any hot surface, hotplate, hot hob or burner.

• Do not use the kettle for any other purpose than heating water.

• Use the kettle only with the power base supplied (and vice versa)

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance has malfunctions or has been damaged in a manner. If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by a special lead available from the Service department

Designed for use in contact with food.

HOW TO USE

Positioning

• Position the power base as close as possible from a power socket
- Place the mains lead so that it does not overhang the work surface, and cannot be caught accidentally. To shorten the mains lead, you can wind it around the cord storage area under the power base, and bring it out of the cord exit slot from the base.

Filling

● Wherever possible fill through the spout.
● Watch the water level thanks to the water level indicator. You must use at least 0.5L, but the water level must be below the Max. mark.
- Do not overfill the kettle. If the kettle is overfilled, there is a risk that boiling water may be ejected.

Switching on

• Check that the switch is in the OFF "O" position (lift the kettle from the powerbase and set it down again).
• Plug the power base into the wall socket. If necessary, switch the socket on. Gently position the kettle on the power base, taking care not to spill any water.
• Press the switch down. The switch will light up, and the kettle will start to heat up.
• When the water has been boiled, the kettle will switch off automatically, the switch will return to the OFF "O" position and the light will go out.

Switching off

• You can switch off the kettle at any time before the water boils, simply lift it from the power base and set it down again. Or simply set the power switch to zero.
• If the kettle is lifted off its base, it will automatically shut off, and the boiling will stop. It can be restarted after 30 seconds by pushing in the power switch.

Filter

- Open kettle lid and remove the filter. Rinse under running water. Put back filter and make sure it is in correct position.

GENERAL

• When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see moisture on the surface of the base. This is the steam used to switch the kettle off automatically, which then condenses and is allowed to escape via vents in the underside of the kettle. Do not lift it backwards, as this may allow water to pass through the steam aperture on to the control area. Should this occur, the kettle must be allowed to dry before use.
  ● To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.

MISUSE

1. Do not switch the kettle on unless it contains at least one cup of water. Misuse of this kind will shorten the life of the element.
2. If the kettle is accidentally switched on when it does not contain sufficient water, a boil-dry device will automatically switch it off. Wait until the kettle has cooled down before filling, as the element will be hot and spitting may occur.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning

1. Switch the kettle off (lift it from the power base), unplug the power base from the wall socket and let the kettle cool down completely before cleaning.
2. Wipe the outside and inside surfaces of the kettle with a damp cloth. If necessary, you may use a little household detergent (use the lid to clean the kettle). To clean the filter, see "Water filter" below. If you use detergent inside the kettle, rinse thoroughly afterwards to remove all trace of the detergent.
3. Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry.

Do not immerse the kettle or power base in water or any other liquid.

Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Do not put the kettle and the power base in a dishwasher.

Descaling

Scale build-up will cause the element to overheat, reducing its working life. It may also cause the safety cut out to operate prematurely, switching the kettle off before the water boils.

As the element is mounted beneath the kettle, there are no awkward nooks and crannies for the scale to get a foothold. It can build up only on the walls and floor of the kettle, where it can be seen and dealt with.

To minimize scale build-up:

1. Fill the kettle with 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water and boil or allow it to stand overnight.
2. Empty solution from kettle and fill kettle with clean water and boil.
3. Discard the boiled water as it might contain remains of vinegar
4. Rinse kettle with clean water.

We recommend descaling to be done regularly, it should be done with the following intervals;

NOTE: products returned during the guarantee period with faults that are directly related to scale built-up will be subject to a repair charge.

As the manufacturer is constantly striving to improve its products, design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
