The Cookworks Plastic Basic Kettle, model KE01109-GS, is a household appliance designed for boiling water. This kettle is intended for domestic and indoor use only, and it is not suitable for commercial applications. Its primary function is to heat water quickly and efficiently for various household needs, such as making hot beverages or preparing food.
The kettle operates by heating water through an internal element. Users fill the kettle with water, place it on its stand, and activate the switch. An indicator lamp illuminates to show that the kettle is in operation. Once the water reaches boiling point, a safety device automatically switches the kettle off, and the indicator lamp extinguishes. This automatic shut-off feature prevents the kettle from boiling dry and conserves energy. If the boiling process needs to be interrupted, the user can lift the switch to turn the appliance off before removing it from the stand. The kettle is designed to be used only with its provided stand to ensure proper functionality and safety.
To use the kettle, it must be placed on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from areas where steam could cause damage. The cable should be fully unwound and plugged into a 220V-240V AC, 50Hz earthed socket outlet. It is crucial to ensure the cable does not dangle over the edge of units to prevent accidents.
Filling the kettle is straightforward: remove it from the stand, open the lid by pulling upwards on the lid pull, and fill it with water. A clear water gauge with graduated markings helps users fill to the desired level. The kettle has a maximum capacity of 1.7 litres (7 cups) and a minimum of 0.5 litres (2 cups). Overfilling should be avoided to prevent boiling water from being ejected during operation. After filling, the lid must be closed fully until it clicks, and the switch should be in the off (0) position (lifted up) before placing the kettle back on the stand.
To start boiling, turn the kettle so the spout faces away from you and press the switch downwards (I). The orange power indicator lamp will light up, signaling that the kettle is active. Once the water boils, the kettle will automatically switch off.
For first-time use, it is recommended to fill the kettle to the maximum level, bring it to a boil, and then discard the water. This process should be repeated two more times to ensure cleanliness and remove any manufacturing residues.
The kettle is equipped with a safety device that protects the heating element. If the kettle is inadvertently switched on when empty or if it boils dry, this device will automatically switch off the heater. In such cases, the kettle must be allowed to cool completely for at least 15 minutes before refilling with cold water. The kettle will then resume normal operation.
Users should be aware that the surfaces of the kettle become hot during use. It is important to always carry the kettle by its handle and avoid touching hot surfaces. The kettle and its heating element will retain residual heat after use. The lid should not be removed while water is boiling or when steam is coming out. Additionally, the kettle should not be covered and should be allowed to cool fully before storing. It should not be used near or under heat-sensitive surfaces or those that may be damaged by steam.
Regular cleaning and descaling are essential to maximize the kettle's efficiency and prolong its lifespan. Before cleaning, the kettle must be switched off, unplugged, and allowed to cool completely.
To clean the filter, press the lid button to open the lid and slide out the filter. The filter can then be cleaned under running tap water using a soft nylon brush to remove any scale buildup. After cleaning, the filter should be refitted.
For descaling, a proprietary descaler suitable for plastic kettles should be used, following the instructions provided on the descaler's packaging. Alternatively, a natural descaling method involves filling the kettle halfway with water and adding the juice of one lemon. The kettle should then be boiled and allowed to stand for 15 minutes. This step should be repeated two more times before discarding the solution. After descaling, the kettle should be filled to the maximum level, boiled, and the water discarded to rinse out any descaling residue.
External surfaces of the kettle can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. It is important not to use detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can scratch the surface of the appliance.
The appliance must be plugged into a 220V-240V AC, 50Hz supply. Connecting it to other power sources can damage the appliance and void the guarantee. It should be switched off and unplugged when not in use and before cleaning. The appliance and its cord must be kept out of reach of children under 8 years old. Children aged 8 and above, as well as individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience, can use the appliance if they have been given supervision and instruction on safe use and understand the hazards involved. Children should not play with the appliance, and cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children unless they are over 8 and supervised.
The stand, cable, plug, and the outside of the kettle must be kept dry and away from areas prone to splashing. Spillage on the connector should be avoided, and the kettle should never be immersed in water. The cable should not be pulled to disconnect from the mains supply. The appliance should not be operated if it is damaged or malfunctions. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified service engineer using an approved part to avoid hazards. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible and the plug socket is within easy reach of the power cord. It must always be plugged into an earthed socket outlet.
