NOTE: Do not remove the kettle from the power base during operation. Ensure the kettle has switched to the 'OFF' position after the water has boiled before removing the kettle from the power base.

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.

Care, Cleaning and Storage

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 open the lid while the water is boiling. Ensure the lid is closed whilst boiling.

Safety Boil Dry Protection

The kettle is fitted with a safety device which protects against overheating should the appliance 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.

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 kettle features a removable mesh filter to remove scale deposits for cleaner water.

To remove the scale deposits from the filter, open the lid and slide the filter up and out of the kettle.

The filter can be cleaned by running under hot water and rubbing with a cleaning cloth or brush. To replace filter, simply slide the filter down into the slot behind the spout of the kettle and push back into position.

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.

WARNING: 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 23 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.
