Operating instructions

Dry-out Protection
If there is not enough water in the kettle during operation, the boil dry cut-out switches off
the heating element automatically. To reset the appliance:
1. Switch OFF the kettle and wait some minutes for the heating elements to cool down. Then
press the opening button to open the lid and slowly fill with water. Always keep the water level
between the minimum and maximum water level mark (500 to 1700/MAX) during operation.
2. Close the lid, replace the kettle on the power base and switch on the kettle.
For additional safety your kettle is fitted with an additional thermal cut out. In the event of
overheating, the kettle will automatically shutdown to prevent further damage. In this case,
take your kettle to an authorised service centre for inspection and repair.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the appliance after shutdown by the thermal cut out.
Any maintenance, repair and operation other than described in these instructions must be
performed at an authorised service centre to avoid risk of electric shock, fire or injuries to persons.
Care and Cleaning
WARNING! Always switch OFF (‘green’ position), unplug and let the appliance cool down
before removing the mesh filter, moving the power base or cleaning the appliance.
CAUTION! To avoid damage, do not use any chemicals, disinfectants, steel wool, abrasive
cleaners or hard or sharp utensils to clean the appliance. Handle with care. Do not place
or immerse the kettle base, power base or power cord in any liquids. Do not spill any liquids
on the kettle base, switch area, power base or power cord.
Do not place the kettle or power base in an automatic dishwasher.
Removable Stainless Steal Filter Mesh
The Design Kettle features a removable mesh filter to filter out scale deposits for clearer
water. Additionally the filter will prevent boiling water from splashing, when you pour the
water. Clean the filter regularly to avoid blockage of the mesh.
CAUTION: Handle the stainless steal filter mesh with care. Do not scratch, scrub or scrape
on the filter mesh with hard or sharp utensils to avoid damage.
1. Switch off and unplug the appliance and allow to cool down. Press the opening button
to open the lid. Grasp the grey bar of the mesh filter and lift it up and out of the kettle.
2. Clean the mesh filter.
Rinse the filter under running water. Possibly use a plastic cleaning brush or sponge. If the
mesh is blocked with lime: leave the filter overnight in warm vinegar. Carefully rinse with
clear tap water.
3. To replace the filter, simply slide the filter in the correct orientation down into the slots
behind the spout of the kettle (see Features of Your Design Kettle).
Push the filter down, until the grey bar is in line with the brim of the kettle and the lid of the
kettle can be shut tightly.
