to use your stainless
steel kettle

1 Fill the kettle through either the

spout or lid. To open the lid press
press the lid release 

. The

water level must be between ‘Max’
and 200 mls (1 cup)

●

Be economical: do not boil more
water than you need.

●

To improve the quality of your
drinks always use fresh water.

●

Empty the kettle after each use.

2 Close the lid by pushing down on

the finger pad area 

.

3 Plug in and switch on 

. The

neon light will come on. 

4 Your kettle will boil and switch off

automatically. To re-boil, wait a
few seconds - the on/off switch
needs time to reset.

●

●

Your kettle is fitted with a scale
filter to hold back limescale
particles.

●

If you find drops of water under
your kettle, don’t worry - it is just
condensation.

●

If you switch on with too little
water, your kettle will cut out
automatically. Switch off and let it
cool down before re-filling.
When it has cooled down, the
switch will reset itself.

care and cleaning

Before cleaning, unplug your kettle
and let it cool down.

●

Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry.
Do not use abrasives - they will
scratch the metal and plastic
surfaces.

●

Wipe with bicarbonate of soda on
a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly.

●

Even though your kettle comes
with a scale filter, you still need to
clean the inside (and the filter)
regularly.

1 Open the lid.
2 Slide the scale filter out 

.

3 either rinse under the tap or use

a soft brush.
or when descaling your kettle,
drop the filter in too. Rinse
thoroughly.

4 Slide the filter back in to refit.

●

Regular descaling of the flat
element will improve the
performance of your kettle. If the
kettle is not descaled regularly the
build up of limescale may result in
the following:

●

problems may be experienced
with the kettle switching on and
off during use or switching off
before boiling.

●

the kettle may take longer to
boil.

●

the flat element may be
damaged.

safety

●

Always use the filter and never overfill
– boiling water may splash out.

●

Avoid contact with steam coming
out of the spout area when pouring
and out of the lid when refilling.

●

Beware: the metal body of the
kettle will get hot during operation.

●

Keep small children away from the
kettle and never let the cord hang
down over the worktop edge – a
child could grab it and pull the
kettle down.

●

If you do not need so much cord,
shorten it by wrapping any excess
cord around the bracket on the
underside of the powerbase.
