Russell Hobbs 23910 Adventure Brushed Stainless Steel Electric Kettle

Function Description:

The Russell Hobbs 23910 Adventure Brushed Stainless Steel Electric Kettle is designed for heating water in household and similar applications.

First Use: Before initial use, fill the kettle to maximum capacity, boil the water, discard it, and rinse. Repeat this process twice to remove any manufacturing dust.
Filling:
1. Remove the lid.
2. Fill with at least 1 cup of water, but not above the maximum fill line.
3. For specific quantities (1, 2, or 3 cups), fill to the corresponding marks inside the kettle.

Boil Dry Protection: The kettle is equipped with a safety cut-out device that automatically switches it off if it boils dry. If this occurs, unplug the kettle and allow it to cool down until the cut-out resets. Repeated boil-dry incidents can shorten the life of the heating element.

- Keep the appliance and its cable out of reach of children under 8 years.
- Parts of the appliance will become hot during use.
- Overfilling may cause boiling water to spit out.
- Use the kettle only with the supplied stand.
- If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid hazards.

Descaling: Descale the appliance regularly (at least monthly) using a proprietary descaler. Follow the instructions provided on the descaler package. Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale buildup will incur a repair charge.

Russell Hobbs 21641 Textures 2-Slice Toaster

Usage Features:

First Use: Set the browning level to maximum (6) and operate the appliance empty to cure the new elements. A slight smell may be present, but it is normal. Ensure the room is well ventilated.
Toasting Bread:

3. Turn the browning control to the desired setting (1 for light, 6 for dark).

Reheating Toast:
1. Leave the browning control at your preferred setting.
2. Insert the bread into the slots.
3. Lower the lever, then press the reheat button.
4. The reheat light will illuminate, and the toast will receive a short burst of heat.
