BEFORE FIRST USE: Remove plastic bag from outside 
kettle and any packaging that may be inside the kettle. Fill
the kettle to the MAX indicator on water level window and
bring to a boil until kettle shuts off automatically. Discard
water and repeat the process. Rinse out the kettle 2 or 3
times. The kettle is now ready for use.

1. Unplug the kettle from the outlet before filling, or for 

cordless models, remove from power base before filling.

2. Fill the kettle with the required amount of water. Ensure that

the water level is between MIN and MAX on the water level
indicator. If using the mesh filter, it must be in place.
WARNING: If the kettle is overfilled there is a risk that 
boiling water may spit out of the spout. 

3. Make sure that the lid is in place and the kettle or power

base (cordless models only) is standing on a level surface.
If lid is not in place, auto shut-off will not operate.

4. Plug into the outlet and turn on ( l ).

5. The kettle will switch off (O) automatically when the water

has boiled. (Remember, the surface of the kettle gets hot;
take care–only grip the kettle by the handle).

6. After use, unplug the kettle and empty.

NOTE: Use water only. If used for foods other than water, the 
warranty will be voided.

6. Anti-Scale Mesh Filter*
* Features on selected 

models only.

Scale is caused by lime and calcium in hard water. The mesh

filter will prevent these suspended particles
from being poured out of the kettle. To
ensure optimum performance of the filter
it should be periodically cleaned. To clean
the filter, rinse it under running water and
brush both side with a soft brush. An old,
clean toothbrush works well.
