- To turn the kettle o before the water boils, you may
move the ON/OFF switch up to the OFF position, or
simply lift the kettle from its base it will switch o and
the switch will return to the OFF position automatically.
Pouring
- Remove the kettle from the power base and carefully
pour out the water. Do not tilt the kettle suddenly or
pour water out at too sharp an angle.
- When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see
moisture on the top surface of the base. Condensation on
the base is perfectly normal, and should not be a cause
for alarm.
Please note: Empty the kettle after each use. Rinse the
kettle with fresh water if you have not used for more than two
days. To reduce energy consumption and waste of water, use
only the amount of water you need.
SAFETY DEVICES
1) Automatic ON/OFF switch:
Your kettle is tted with an ON/OFF switch which
automatically switches o once the water has boiled.
If the kettle has just boiled, wait a minute or so before
re-boiling the kettle. Do not attempt to hold the ON/
OFF switch in the on position or adjust the switch
mechanism.
2) Safety cut-out:
If the kettle is switched ON with too little or no water, it is
protected against damage by a safety cut-out which will
switch o the power. If this cut-out operates, disconnect
the kettle from the mains supply and leave to cool down
before relling with cold water (otherwise the element
could be damaged).
3) If kettle is lifted from base while operating (ON), it will
automatically switch o.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the kettle
- Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the
appliance from the mains before cleaning.
- Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.
- Use a soft dampened cloth to wipe the outside of the
kettle and dry with a soft, dry cloth.
- DO NOT use metal polish, ammable liquids or harsh
scouring agents.
- Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry.
Scale
When the water is heated, the minerals in the water solidify,
making the water appear cloudy. As soon as you notice a lm
forming on the water, or, when cleaning the lter, if you notice a
lm on the walls or the element, descale the kettle and its lter.
Scale lter
Your kettle is tted with a scale lter to prevent loose particles
of scale being poured into your beverage. This lter is both
removable and washable. You should remove and clean the
water lter when you notice any deposits being left on the
lter or if the pouring eciency is impaired.
Removing the scale lter
- Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the
appliance from the mains electrical supply. Make sure
that your hands are clean and free from soap, cream or
anything which might taint the water.
- Empty the kettle and remove the lter as shown in g.
1. Rinse under a tap whilst brushing with a soft brush
(g. 2) and replace the lter (g. 3). Filter may pose
suocation risk, do not let it unattended after
cleaning.
To clean the kettle and the scale lter
It is vital to clean and descale regularly in order to maintain
good working order. Excessive scale build-up may aect the
performance of the product and shall be avoided.
- Use descaler for kettles (tip: use citric-acid based
descaling solutions). When limescale starts forming on
the heating element, buy a suitable descaler for kettles
and descale according to the instructions given on the
descaler pack.
- After descaling, boil repeatedly with fresh water and
rinse thoroughly to completely eliminate all residues of
descaler which could damage the appliance. Repeat the
boil and rinse steps for at least three times.
- If the lter requires descaling, remove and immerse in
the same descaling solution.
- Make sure electric parts are completely dry before using
the kettle.
