Using Your Electric Kettle (cont.)
1. Remove from power base before filling.
2. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water. Make sure
the kettle has at least 8 ounces (250
ml) of water. Do not fill above the MAX
fill line. If filled above the MAX fill line,
water will be emitted through the
steam vents at the base of the kettle
during the boil cycle.
3. Press and hold button on bottom of lid while inserting
notches on lid into tabs on kettle wall. The mesh filter must
align with the spout. Make sure that the lid is in place and
the kettle or power base is standing on a level surface.
If lid is not in place, auto shut-off will not operate.
4. After filling the kettle with water, place it on the base so
that it is correctly engaged.
5. Plug into the outlet and turn on (l).
6. The kettle will switch off (O) automatically when the water
has boiled.
7. After use, unplug the kettle and empty.
Anti-Scale Mesh Filter
NOTE: Do not remove the anti-scale mesh filter from the lid.
Scale is caused by lime and calcium in hard water. The mesh
filter will prevent these suspended particles from being poured
out of the kettle. To ensure optimum performance of the filter
it should be periodically cleaned. To clean the filter, rinse it
under running water and brush with a soft brush. An old,
clean toothbrush works well.
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
automatically switch off. You should:
• Unplug the kettle and wait about 20 minutes for the
element to cool down.
• Refill the kettle, then use as normal and check that the
kettle functions correctly.
wWARNING

• Do not pour toward or over people.
