BEFORE USING THE KETTLE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Remove all the packaging from the kettle and its power base.

Before first use, fill the kettle to MAX, boil, discard the water, and then rinse the inside of the kettle. Do this three times, to clean thoroughly.

Position the kettle as close to the wall socket as possible. Wind any excess cord around the cord storage area underneath the power base. Guide the cord length you require through the gap in the base.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Plug the base into the socket and switch on. Take the kettle off the base, open the lid and fill the kettle through the lid opening, not the spout.
2. Do not fill the kettle beyond the maximum level. Do not use the kettle without at least 2 cups of water in it.
3. Press the ON/OFF switch down, the indicator light will show your water is heating.
4. When the kettle has boiled, the switch will click up and the light will switch off.
5. If the kettle is lifted from the base while operating, it will automatically switch off.

SAFETY CUT-OUT: The heating element in your kettle is protected against damage by a safety cut-out device which will automatically switch the kettle off if it is accidentally switched on and allowed to boil without any water. If this occurs, disconnect the kettle from the mains supply and allow the kettle to cool before filling with cold water. The kettle may then be operated normally.

OPENING THE LID

• Remove the kettle from the power base.
• Holding the handle of the kettle firmly with one hand, hold the pull on the lid with the other, pull up and towards the handle to open.

WARNING: The kettle will be hot to touch when it is heating and for some time after it is has boiled. Avoid touching it and use the handle and lid pull to open. Steam will escape as soon as the lid is opened.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Only use this kettle to heat water.
• Only heat the amount of water you need to use.
• Clean and descale regularly even in soft water areas.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Following are some common problems that can occur when using the kettle. Please review the problems, their possible cause and any corrective action that should be taken.

Problem Possible cause Solution
The kettle won’t light up when switched on.	Not switched on at plug or not securely on the base.	Check the power is switched on and that kettle is on the base properly.
The kettle does not switch off. The lid	is not securely closed. Ensure the lid is	properly closed.
The water is cloudy. Some drinking water has limescale which goes cloudy when being boiled.	This is perfectly normal.
Drinks made with water from the kettle leave a scum in the cups.	The kettle may need descaling. Follow the descaling instructions in this manual.
The kettle spits water when it boils. The kettle has been overfilled. Make sure you only fill with water up to the MAX level.

CARE AND CLEANING

• Unplug the kettle, take it off the base and allow it to cool completely before cleaning and storing.
  • Periodically check all parts before use.
• Never immerse the kettle, base or cable in water or any other liquid.
• Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp soft cloth. You may use a little mild detergent, but if you do, rinse well with clean water to avoid tainting when kettle next used.
• Don't use harsh or abrasive, or alkaline cleaning agents or solvents.
• Ensure that connectors and sockets are kept dry.

WATER FILTER

The internal filter inside the spout can be pulled out to allow it to be cleaned.

WARNING: Do not operate the kettle without the water filter.

• Make sure hands are clean.
- Remove the kettle from the power base and ensure it is cold.
- Open the lid. Hold the top of the filter, pull up and out of the kettle. Rinse under running water while brushing it with a soft brush. Rinse the kettle out with fresh water.
- Insert the filter into the slots inside the spout and push it back into place.

DESCALING

• Limescale may be white, coloured, even rusty-looking, but it's normally visible on the walls and floor of the kettle. Phosphate scale isn't generally visible, but it's there, even in soft water areas.
• All scale causes overheating, and reduces the kettle's life.
• Even with soft water, descale regularly, to help keep your kettle in working order. Use a descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts).
• When descaling has finished, rinse and boil the kettle several times, discard the water.
• Store the kettle with the power cable loosely coiled or stored in the base. Never wrap it tightly around the base or kettle.

MINIMISING SCALE

• Empty the kettle after each use; do not allow water to stand in the kettle overnight.
• Use filtered water instead of tap water.
• Descale the kettle regularly, at least once a month. In areas of very hard water descaling you may need to do this more often.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

This appliance is fitted with a fused three-pin plug to BS1363 which is suitable for use in all homes fitted with sockets to current specifications. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and carefully disposed of. To avoid an electric shock, do not insert the discarded plug into a socket.

FITTING A NEW PLUG

If for any reason you need to fit a new plug, the flexible mains lead must be connected as shown here. The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Earth (green/yellow) Neutral (blue) N E L 13 amp FUSE 13 amp fuse BS1363 Live (brown)

Connect BLUE to Neutral (N)

Connect GREEN & YELLOW to Earth (E)

Connect BROWN to Live (L)

13 amp fuse to be used

If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance do not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows. The wire which is coloured green and yellow MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter E (Earth). The wire which is coloured blue MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N (Neutral). The wire which is coloured brown MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L (Live).

Before refitting the plug cover, check that there are no cut or stray strands of wire inside the plug. Use a 13 amp BS1363 fuse. Only BSI or ASTA approved fuses should be used. If you are at all unsure which plug or fuse to use, always refer to a qualified electrician.

Note: After replacing or changing a fuse on a moulded plug which has a fuse cover, the cover must be refitted to the plug; the appliance must not be used without a fuse cover. If lost, replacement fuse covers can be obtained from an electrical shop. This appliance complies with the following EU Directives: 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage Directive) and 2004/108/EC (EMC Directive).
