C GENERAL
36 To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don't over-tilt the kettle.
37 Don't tilt the kettle backwards, water might get on to the control area. If this happens, let the
kettle dry before use – sit it somewhere warm for 12 hours.
38 When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don't worry – it's the steam
used to switch off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents under the
kettle.
39 You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, don't worry – it's due to
the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.
F USING WITH INSUFFICIENT WATER
40 This will shorten the life of the element. A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
41 To prevent the kettle cycling on and off, remove the kettle from the stand and let it cool
before replacing it on the stand.
C CARE AND MAINTENANCE
42 Check the switch is off (move it to 0).
43 Unplug the stand, and let the kettle cool before cleaning.
44 Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth.

50 Lift the filter out of the spout.

53 Press the top of the filter towards the kettle, to lock the hook in place.
54 Wipe the available surfaces of the funnel with a damp cloth.
55 Don't wipe the filter cartridge.
56 Replace the funnel and filter cartridge.
57 The flat area of the funnel should face the handle.
58 To replace the rim, fit the latch under the top of the handle.
