Description

The Russell Hobbs Addison Digital Kettle RHK510 is a perfect combination of style and functionality.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Fill the kettle with water to the ‘max’ level, boil, discard the water, and then rinse. Do this three times, to remove any dust, residues, etc., from the kettle. Ensure the filter is in place; otherwise, the kettle may not switch off and water may be ejected from the spout.

POSITIONING

Place the base on a stable, level surface.
Route the cable so it does not overhang, and cannot be caught or tripped over.
Wind excess cable beneath the base.

FILLING

Caution: If the kettle has just boiled it will be full of steam. Keep hands clear as steam will escape from the kettle when opening the lid.

Remove the kettle from the power base.
Push the lid release button.
Fill the kettle with at least 2 cups of water.
Do not fill above the ‘max’ line. If overfilled, boiling water may be ejected from the spout.
Close the lid.
Check the lid is fully closed or the kettle may not switch off when it boils.

SWITCHING ON

Caution: Keep clear, as steam will escape from the spout when boiling.

Plug the power cord into the wall power outlet and switch it on, all temperature buttons will illuminate.
Place the kettle on the power base – take care not to spill any water.
Press the desired temperature button.
The button will flash and the kettle will heat up simultaneously.

SWITCHING OFF

When the water reaches the set temperature, the kettle will switch itself off, and the flashing light will change to solid light.
To switch off manually, press the illuminated temperature button or lift the kettle from the power base and replace it.

Note: If activated, it is necessary to deactivate the keep warm function prior to switching off.

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS

Press the desired temperature you want.
The temperatures available are: 100°, 95°, 90°, 80°, and 70° (°C).

Note: When selecting temperatures below 100, you may hear the element pulse on, off and on again as it works to control the temperature accurately.

Once the kettle reaches the set temperature, the kettle will beep twice to indicate it is ready.

KEEP WARM

NOTE: The 'Keep Warm' Function only operates for temperatures 70°, 80°, 90°, and 95°, and does not operate with 100°C to prevent the kettle from boiling dry.

Press the Keep Warm button after selecting the desired temperature, or during the heating cycle.
The Keep Warm function will illuminate and maintain the water at the selected temperature for up to 2 hours.
During this time the kettle may cycle on and off to maintain the temperature at the desired setting.
To deactivate the Keep Warm function, press the Keep Warm button. The function will be deactivated and button illumination will extinguish.

SLEEP MODE

If the kettle is inactive, and you don’t touch the controls for 1 minute, the lights will go out to save power. To wake the kettle, press any of the controls, or lift off and replace the kettle from the power base, all temperature buttons will illuminate with a solid light.

GENERAL

Remove the kettle from the power base before pouring.
To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.

USING WITH INSUFFICIENT WATER

Using the kettle with insufficient water will shorten the life of the element.
If the kettle is accidentally switched on when it does not contain sufficient water, a boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
If the boil dry cutout has activated, the kettle will not function until it has cooled.
Sit the kettle on a stable heat-resistant surface until it has fully cooled down.
Do not fill the kettle with water until it is cold, or it may eject hot water.

Setup Guide

Setting up the Russell Hobbs Addison Digital Kettle RHK510 is easy. Simply remove the kettle from the box and plug it in. Fill the kettle with water up to the desired level, using the water level indicator as a guide. Choose your desired water temperature on the digital LED display, and wait for the kettle to heat up. The kettle will automatically shut off when the water reaches the selected temperature.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Remove the plug from the wall power outlet.
Allow the kettle to cool down fully.
Wipe over the outside of the kettle and power base with a damp cloth. A mild dishwashing detergent may be used if required.
Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
Do not immerse the kettle or power base in liquid.
Do not use alkaline cleaning agents or harsh abrasives when cleaning this appliance.
Clean the inside of the kettle using the instructions in the “DE-SCALE REGULARLY” section.

DE-SCALE REGULARLY – EVEN IN SOFT WATER AREAS

Water contains minerals that will form deposits on the inside of your kettle, commonly referred to as scaling. Scaling discolors the internal surfaces and can affect performance. To maintain the performance of your kettle, it should be de-scaled every three months or so. De-scale more frequently if you live in a hard water area.

Add 2 to 3 teaspoons of citric acid or a commercial de-scaler to the empty kettle.
Fill the kettle with fresh cold water to the MAX level mark on the water gauge.
Select the 100°C button and allow the kettle to boil.
Once the water has boiled, allow the kettle to cool and then discard the water into the sink.

RINSE AFTER DE-SCALING

Fill the kettle with fresh cold water to the MAX level mark on the water gauge.
Select the 100°C button and allow the kettle to boil.
Discard the water into the sink.
Repeat the rinsing process as required, discarding the water in the kettle each time.

NOTE: Products returned under warranty with faults due to scale may be subject to a repair charge.

WATER FILTER

Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy appearance. The filter will prevent these particles from going into your drink. Remove and clean the filter regularly.

CLEANING THE FILTER

Check your hands are free from soap, hand cream, or anything which might leave a taint.
Remove the plug from the wall power outlet.
Allow the kettle to cool down fully.
Push the lid release button.
Using the tab at the top of the filter, pull the filter up and out of its housing.

NOTE: Take care not to press on the mesh part of the filter – you may damage it.

Rinse the filter under a running tap whilst brushing with a soft brush.
Rinse the kettle in case scale particles have fallen inside.
Turn the filter so the tab at the top of the filter faces the rear of the kettle.
Slide it down into the triangular filter housing guide so the clip is in place. Push the tab into place and ensure this is in place.
Refill the kettle and close the lid.

Caution: Do not use the kettle without the filter in place – it may eject boiling water.
