than 1l/34 oz (to the MAX mark) (8), to prevent the kettle from
boiling dry or boiling water escaping from the spout.
2 – CONNECTION TO POWER SUPPLY
After filling the kettle, position it on the base unit (7). Ensure
that the kettle body is seated correctly on the contact unit on
the base unit (7).
Connect the mains plug to the power supply and move the
ON/OFF switch (5) into the ON (I) position.
Note: Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is able to move freely.
3 – SWITCHING OFF
Your kettle has an automatic ON/OFF switch and will switch
itself off automatically as soon as the water boils.
You can switch off the kettle at any time by moving the ON/
OFF switch (5) into the OFF (0) position.
4 - POURING OUT WATER
To remove the kettle from the base unit (7), hold it by its
handle. Ensure that the kettle body remains level while lifting
it from the base unit (7).
Pour the water from the spout with the lid (1) closed.
Note: Please take care when pouring out water as boiling
water can cause scalds.
5 - SWITCHING THE KETTLE ON AGAIN
If the kettle was switched off by hand, it can be switched on
again at any time.
You may switch the kettle on again as soon as the built-in
thermal safety cut-off switch has had sufficient time to cool.
MAINTENANCE 1 - SCALE FILTER
AND CARE
Scale, or calcium, is a natural substance that forms when
hard water is boiled. The filter (3) serves to retain the calcium
in the water kettle.
2 - CLEANING AND REMOVAL OF THE FILTER
It is important to clean the filter (3) regularly. The filter (3)
clips into the body and can be removed by pulling it upwards
from the body. It can be cleaned by gentle brushing with a
soft brush under running water.

3 - KETTLE CLEAN AND DECALE
Remove scale using either a proprietary de-scaling product
suitable for plastic kettles (following the instructions
carefully), or citric acid.
We recommend using citric acid as follows:
Boil 1l/34oz litre of water, then unplug the kettle and stand
it in an empty sink or bowl. Add 50 gm of citric acid crystals
gradually, then leave the kettle to stand.
As soon as the effervescence subsides, empty the kettle and
rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Wipe the outside of the
kettle thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove all traces of
citric acid which may damage the finish.
Do not use a more concentrated solution. Ensure that the
electrical connections are completely dry before using the
kettle. Citric acid crystals are available at most chemists.
Failure to de-scale may invalidate the guarantee.
Never use chemicals, steel wool or abrasive agents to clean
the exterior of the kettle.
Only clean the appliance using a damp cloth.
Never immerse the item in water: remember this is an
electrical applicant.
Note: Ensure that the mains power supply is switched off
when you are not using the kettle.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
