Frequently Asked Questions - Scandi Chic KE690 Kambrook

How do I use the kettle for the first time?

Before first use, remove packaging and promotional labels. Fill the kettle to the maximum level with cold tap water, bring to a boil, then discard the water. This prepares the kettle for use.

What should I do if the kettle turns off before boiling?

The kettle may turn off if there is insufficient water. Ensure the water level is between the MIN and MAX marks. Also, the boil-dry protection may activate if there is no water. Allow the kettle to cool, refill, and reset by placing it back on the base.

Can I open the lid while the water is boiling?

No, do not open the lid while water is boiling as it may cause scalding from hot water and steam. Always ensure the lid is locked closed during operation.

How do I clean the removable filter?

Slide the filter upwards out of the bracket. Clean with soapy water, rinse, and dry. For built-on deposits, use a soft bristle brush or damp cloth. Slide the filter back into place after cleaning. Ensure the kettle has cooled down before removing the filter.

How do I remove mineral deposits from the kettle interior?

Use a proprietary kettle descaler or a natural method: fill the kettle 1/3 full with a mixture of 1 part vinegar (or a few slices of lemon) and 2 parts water. Bring to boil, let stand overnight, then empty. Rinse with clean water, boil, and discard. Repeat if necessary.

Is the kettle BPA-free?

Yes, the water window is made from BPA-free plastic. Laboratory tests show that water boiled in this kettle does not contain BPA to a resolution of 1 part per million.

Can I use the kettle to heat other liquids?

No, this kettle is designed only for boiling drinking quality water. Do not use it to heat or boil any other liquids or foodstuffs.

What should I do if the kettle base gets wet?

Avoid spillage of water on the kettle base and connector. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly before using. Never immerse the kettle base, power base, or cord in water.

How do I store the kettle?

Ensure the kettle is switched off, cleaned, and dried. Close and lock the lid. Wrap the power cord around the cord storage under the power base. Stand the kettle upright on the power base. Do not store anything on top.

Fill with the desired amount of water. Do not operate the kettle without water. Always fill the kettle between the minimum and the maximum marks on the water window.

1. The kettle will automatically switch 'OFF' once the water has boiled. Lift the kettle from the power base and pour the water. Take care to hold the kettle level, especially when filled to the maximum level. To re-boil it may be necessary to wait for a few seconds to allow the control to reset.
2. The kettle should be stored on its power base when not in use. The power outlet should be switched off and the power cord unplugged from the power outlet when not in use.

CAUTION: Do not operate the kettle on an inclined surface. Do not move the kettle while it is switch on.

CAUTION: This kettle is designed for the boiling of drinking quality water only; never use it to heat or boil any other liquids or foodstuffs. The lid should always be firmly in place and locked closed before use.

CAUTION: Do not release the lid while the water is boiling. Ensure the lid is closed whilst boiling.

CAUTION: Do not open the lid while water is boiling.

Safety Boil Dry Protection

The kettle is fitted with a safety device, which protects against overheating should the kettle be operated with insufficient water. If this occurs the kettle will stop heating and automatically switch 'OFF'.

Should this occur, switch off at the power outlet and unplug. Allow kettle to cool before refilling. Remove the kettle from the power base and add water. Return the kettle to the power base. The safety device will automatically reset.

Care, Cleaning and Storage

Always switch off at the power outlet and then unplug the kettle from the power outlet before cleaning.

Cleaning the Kettle Exterior

The outside surface of the kettle may be wiped over with a damp cloth and polished with a soft, clean dry cloth.

Cleaning the Removable Filter

The filter fitted inside the kettle over the spout is removable for cleaning. To remove for cleaning, slide the filter upwards out of the bracket. Clean with soapy water, rinse and dry or lightly clean using a soft bristle brush or soft damp cloth for built-on deposits. Once clean and dry, slide the filter back into the filter bracket before using.

TIP: The filter could become damaged with time, please check regularly and replace if found damaged.

NOTE: Ensure the kettle and water has cooled down before attempting to clean the filter.

NOTE: Do not use chemical, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the inside or outside of the kettle.

NOTE: Exposure to cooking oils and cleaning chemicals may cause colour fading and discolouration to the kettle. If the kettle is exposed to oils or chemicals, turn off and unplug the kettle and use a damp cloth to clean the surface of the kettle. Dry thoroughly before use.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the appliance do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning; use a soft cloth and mild detergents.

WARNING: Never immerse the kettle base, switch area, power base or power supply cord in water or allow moisture to come in contact with these parts.

Mineral Deposits and Discolouration

Due to the large surface area of the immersed element (interior base), discolouration due to mineral deposits from tap water may appear more obvious by leaving a brown stain on the base. THIS IS NOT RUST. To remove the discolouration, follow the instructions "Removing Mineral Deposits".

Removing Mineral Deposits

Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the kettle interior and water window to discolour over time. This may be removed by using a proprietary kettle descaler which is available from most leading supermarkets, department stores and hardware stores.

Alternatively:

1. Fill the kettle until 13 full with 1 part vinegar (or a few slices of lemon) and 2 parts water, bring to the boil and allow to stand overnight.
2. Empty the solution from the kettle. Fill the kettle with clean water, bring to boil and discard the water. Repeat and the kettle will be ready for use.

Storage

Ensure the kettle is switched off, cleaned and dried before storing. Ensure that the lid is closed and locked firmly into place. Wrap the power cord around the cord storage under the power base. Stand the kettle upright on the power base. Do not store anything on top.
