Safety devices/ Cleaning and maintenance
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.
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
device 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). It will reset
automatically when cooled down.
3) If the kettle is lifted from base while operating (ON), it
will automatically switch o.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

appliance from the mains before cleaning.
• ONLY USE WATER FOR CLEANING.
• Donotimmersethekettleorbaseinwater.

Scale
Scale is mainly calcium carbonate (chalk), a harmless, naturally
occurring mineral found in most water supplies. “Hard” water
contains more of this mineral than “soft” water. When the
water is heated, the minerals in the water solidify, making
the water appear cloudy. These minerals form a thin lm on
the walls, element and on the surface of the water. The water
may look like it has white coloured pieces of plastic oating
on the surface. On traditional kettle elements, scale forms a
hard white “crust” which adversely aects performance and
reduces the life of the element. As soon as you notice a lm
forming on the water, or on the interior walls of the kettle,
simply rinse the kettle and wipe it out.
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. The frequency with which you will
need to clean any scale deposits from your lter will depend
on the hardness of water in your area and how often you use
the kettle. 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.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains electrical
supply.
• Makesurethatyourhandsarecleanandfreefromsoap,
etc or anything which might taint the water.
• Emptythekettleandremovethelid.Removethelter
by lifting up (g. 1).
• Rinse under a tap while brushing with a soft brush (g. 2).
• Replacethelterrmlydown.
Descaling
It is vital to clean and descale the kettle and lter regularly in
order to maintain it in good working order. Failure to descale
your kettle may invalidate your guarantee.
• Itisrecommendedtousespecic(storebought)products
for descaling of kettles.
• When limescale starts to build up on the heating
element, buy a suitable descaler and descale your kettle.
After descaling, boil with fresh water several times and
discard. Clean any descaler o the kettle – it can damage
the parts.
• If the lter requires descaling,  remove the lter and
