Before First Use

Remove the parts from the packaging.
Clean your kettle by going through several boiling cycles, using clean water with each cycle and filling the kettle to its upper marking. The water will reach boiling point after approximately 5 minutes. The kettle switches off automatically.
Discard the boiled water. Wait for the kettle to cool, then rinse it with cold water.
Your appliance is now ready for normal use.
Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner.

Using Your Appliance

Fill the kettle using either the spout or lid. Open the lid by pressing the lid release button.
The water level must be between the MAX and MIN fill lines.
Check that the lid is closed correctly.
Ensure that the base unit and the base of your kettle are not wet.
Place the kettle onto the base unit and plug in.
Switch the kettle on by pressing down the On/Off switch located underneath the handle to the On position.
The level indicator will illuminate to indicate the kettle is in operation.
Note: The ON/OFF switch will also automatically return to the OFF position when it is finished boiling.
Note: You can stop the boiling process at any time by pushing the ON/OFF switch up to the off position.
Ensure the kettle is switched off before removing it from its base. DO NOT remove the kettle from its base while it is in operation.
If you need to boil the kettle again, wait for a few seconds - allow the On/Off switch time to reset. The delay should be no more than 20 seconds.
When you lift the kettle up from the base, you may see drops of water on the base. This is just condensation from steam.
To avoid splashing or spilling, pour the kettle slowly and do not over-tilt it.

WARNING! NEVER REMOVE THE LID DURING BOILING. IF THE WATER INSIDE THE KETTLE HAS JUST BOILED, THE KETTLE WILL BE FULL OF STEAM. THE STEAM WILL ESCAPE AS SOON AS THE LID IS OPENED.
Tips: Improve the quality of your drinks by always using fresh water. Empty the kettle after each use. Be economical and efficient and do not boil more water than you need.

Boil Dry Protection

Your kettle will switch off automatically if you try to use it with too little water or if it is empty.
If this happens, ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position, remove it from the base unit and allow it to cool down before re-filling.
Wait at least 15 minutes for the cut-out to reset before refilling with cold water and boiling. CAUTION! DO NOT switch the kettle on unless it contains at least one cup of water to avoid damaging the appliance and shortening its lifespan.

Filter

Your kettle is fitted with a filter. The filter helps to prevent lime-scale from getting into your drink.
The filter should be cleaned regularly, in particular if there are noticeable deposits left on it, or if pouring is affected in any way.
To clean the filter, rinse it under the tap.

Damage to the heating element.
The safety cut out may operate prematurely, switching the kettle off before the water has boiled.

To Minimise Scale Build-Up

Empty the kettle of water after each use.
Do not allow water to stand in the kettle overnight.
Use filtered water instead of tap water to help reduce lime-scale build up.

How To De-Scale

Note: Should the appliance switch OFF before reaching boiling point this is a sign that de-scaling is necessary.

Any regular de-scaling agent may be used, provided the relevant instructions are observed. To avoid spillage, DO NOT fill the kettle to the upper mark if the de-scaling agent causes the water to foam.
To clean the kettle thoroughly of any de-calcification residue; let it go through several boiling cycles using clean water with each cycle. Rinse the kettle with clean water afterwards.
It is advisable to remove limescale deposits from the kettle at regular intervals.

Removing Lime-scale Build-up: If using a kettle cleaning solution make sure to follow the instructions.

Natural Cleaning Method for Limescale Removal

Fill the kettle with equal parts water and vinegar (white wine vinegar, cider vinegar or lemon juice work particularly well). Allow the kettle to boil (take care to ensure the contents do not boil over) and let it stand for 30-40 minutes.
When the standing time has elapsed. empty the kettle and rinse it with water.
The kettle should now be free from lime-scale and ready to be used again.
