If Heating Element Discolors
It is normal for stainless steel heating elements to discolor. This
does not affect the performance of the kettle. Do not use abra-
sive scouring pads or cleaners as this may damage the stainless
steel surface.
Cordless Kettle
Your cordless kettle has the power supply connected to the
power base, eliminating the need to plug and unplug the cord
from the electrical outlet. However, it is always a good safety
practice to unplug the power base when not in use.
• For general operation see “Using Your Electric Kettle.”
• After filling the kettle with water, it should be placed on the
base so that it is correctly engaged.
• After use the kettle may be left on the base but we
recommend you unplug the cord from the outlet.
If Your Kettle Boils Dry
The heating element is protected by two automatic safety
devices. If your kettle is accidentally switched on without being
filled with water, or is allowed to boil dry, the kettle will auto-
matically repeat a cycle of switching off, cooling down and
switching back on. You should:
1. Turn the kettle OFF, unplug the kettle and wait about 15
minutes for the element to cool down.
2. Refill the kettle, then use as normal and check that the
kettle functions correctly.

Anti-Scale Mesh Filter (available on select models)
Scale is caused by lime and calcium in hard water. The mesh
filter will prevent these suspended parti-
cles from being poured out of the kettle.
The filter should be cleaned periodically
to ensure optimum performance. To clean
the filter, rinse it under running water and
brush both side with a soft brush. An old,
clean toothbrush works well.
Using Your Electric Kettle
BEFORE FIRST USE: Fill kettle to MAX indicator on water level
window and bring to a boil until kettle shuts off automatically.
Discard water and repeat. Rinse out kettle 2 or 3 times. The
kettle is now ready for use.
1. Unplug kettle from outlet before filling, or for cordless
models, remove from power base before filling.
2. Fill kettle with required amount of water. Ensure that water
level is between MIN and MAX on the water level indicator.
If using the mesh filter, it must be in place.
WARNING: If kettle is overfilled there is a risk that boiling
water may spit out of the spout.
3. Make sure that the lid is in place and the kettle or power
base (cordless models only) is standing on a level surface.
If lid is not in place, auto shut-off will not operate.
4. Plug into outlet and turn on ( l ).
5. The kettle will switch off (O) automatically when the water
has boiled. (Remember, the surface of the kettle gets hot;
take care–only grip the kettle by the handle).
6. After use, unplug kettle and empty.
NOTE: Use water only in the kettle. If used for foods or beverage
such as tea or coffee, the warranty will be voided.
