This document is a user manual for a Russell Hobbs kettle, model number 24403. It provides instructions for safe operation, usage, and maintenance of the appliance.

Function Description

The Russell Hobbs kettle is designed for heating water for household use. It operates by boiling water and automatically switching off once the water reaches boiling point. The kettle is equipped with a stand that supplies power, and it can be manually switched off or by lifting it from the stand. A key safety feature is the boil-dry protection, which automatically cuts off power if the kettle runs out of water, preventing damage to the heating element.

Usage Features

Before First Use: Before using the kettle for the first time, it is recommended to fill it to the maximum level, boil the water, discard it, and then rinse the kettle. This process should be repeated twice to remove any manufacturing dust or residue.

Filling the Kettle: To fill the kettle, remove the lid. Fill with at least one cup of water, but ensure the water level does not exceed the "max" mark. After filling, refit the lid securely. It is crucial to always fit the lid when boiling the kettle to ensure proper operation and safety.

Operating the Kettle:

Place the stand on a stable, level surface.
Plug the stand into a wall socket.
Position the kettle onto the stand.
Move the switch to the "I" position.
A light will illuminate, indicating that the kettle has started heating the water.
Once the water boils, the kettle will automatically switch off.
To manually switch off the kettle, move the switch to the "O" position, or simply lift the kettle off its stand.

General Notes: It is normal to observe moisture on the stand when the kettle is lifted. This is a result of steam generated during the automatic switch-off process.

Boil Dry Protection: The kettle incorporates a safety cut-out device that activates if the kettle boils dry. Should this occur, unplug the kettle and allow it to cool down. The cut-out will reset itself once the kettle has cooled. Repeatedly allowing the kettle to boil dry can reduce the lifespan of the heating element.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning the Kettle:

Before cleaning, unplug the stand and allow the kettle to cool completely.
Wipe all external surfaces with a clean, damp cloth.
To clean the filter, open the lid.
Insert a finger into the spout and press the center of the filter to push it into the body of the kettle.
Lift or tip the filter out of the kettle.
Rinse the filter under running tap water, using a soft brush to remove any deposits.
To refit the filter, first fit the bottom of the filter into the guides located at the bottom of the spout.
From inside the kettle, press the filter firmly into the spout until it clicks into place.
Close the lid.

Descaling: Regular descaling is essential for maintaining the kettle's performance and extending its lifespan. It is recommended to descale the kettle at least once a month. Use a proprietary descaler and follow the instructions provided with the descaling product. Products returned under warranty with faults caused by scale buildup may incur a repair charge.
