Switching Off; Cleaning And Maintenance - Russell Hobbs 18258 Manuel

controller will disconnect automatically when the kettle is switched on in order to
protect the kettle from being damaged by dry heating.

If the above situation happens, please turn off the power supply, unplug the kettle
and wait 10 minutes for it to cool down. Once this is done, the temperature
controller connects and the kettle will operate normally again.
Note: Do not add cold water in the kettle in an attempt to cool it down quicker – this will
decrease the life span of the kettle's heating plate.

SWITCHING OFF


When the water has boiled, the kettle will switch off automatically. You can stop
the boiling process at any time by lifting the on/off switch to the "0" (off) position
or lifting the kettle off the base.
GENERAL

Always remove the kettle from the base before pouring.

To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.

Do not tilt the kettle backwards - water might get on to the control area. If this
happens, let the kettle dry thoroughly before use – place it somewhere warm for
12 hours.

When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the base. Do not worry – it's
the steam used to switch the kettle off automatically, which then condenses and
escapes via vents under the kettle.

You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, do not worry –
it is due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.
