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. Empty the kettle after each use; do not allow water to stand in the kettle
overnight; use filtered water instead of ordinary tap water.
2. Descale the kettle regularly using a proprietary brand of descaler suitable for use
in plastic-bodied products. In areas of very hard water descaling may be
necessary as often as once a month.
3. When descaling, follow the instructions on the packet of descaler. When
descaling has finished, empty the kettle and rinse it out several times with fresh
water, then fill it with fresh water and boil the water. Then, discard the water. This
should ensure no chemical residues are left in the kettle.
