BEFORE FIRST
USE
Before using the appliance
for the first time, fill with
water, boil and pour away.
OPERATING THE
APPLIANCE
1 Wherever possible fill
through the spout, as this
helps to free the filter from
limescale build-up.
• The water level indicators
allow you to easily see the
amount of water in the
kettle.
• Always ensure that the
appliance is filled till the
water in the kettle is filled
to at least the minimum
level shown on the water
gauge.
• Boil only as much water as
you need as this saves
electricity.
2 Place the appliance on the
base unit, ensuring the
appliance locates on to the
360° connector.
• Due to the oval shape of
this product we
recommend alining the
kettle with the power base
for better stability
3 Plug in and switch on at
the wall socket.
4 Switch the appliance on.
The water level indicator
will light up.
5 When the water boils the
appliance will switch off
automatically.
• If you are using the
appliance for the first time,
pour away the boiled water.
6 Lift the appliance from the
base unit by the handle
ensuring you hold the
appliance level.
• To re-boil, switch to ON
again. If the appliance has
just switched off wait a
minute or so before
switching it back on again.
• If you do not put in enough
water, or switch on the
appliance when it is empty,
the safety cut-out will
switch off the power
automatically. If this
happens, refill and wait a
few minutes for the element
to cool, then use as
normal.
Filter removal
1 Open the lid.
2 Lift the filter upwards from
its location using the tab
provided.
3 To refit the filter, slot it into
the side wall guides and
press down firmly. Ensure
the filter is correctly located
into the central guide.
WARNING: Make sure
that the filter is put in
correctly otherwise the
lid will not close.
Descaling
IMPORTANT: As this
appliance is fitted with a
concealed element it must
be descaled regularly. The
frequency of descaling
depends on usage and the
hardness of the water in
your area.
Excessive scale can cause
the appliance to switch off
before boiling and may
damage the element
invalidating the warranty.
It is essential that regular
descaling takes place.
Remove hard scale using a
proprietary descaling
product suitable for
stainless steel, glass or
plastic.
For stainless steel kettles
please follow the
instructions carefully.
Alternatively use citric acid
crystals (available from
most pharmacies) as
follows:
1 Fill the appliance
3
/4 full,
boil, then unplug the
appliance (remove the
cordless kettle from the
base unit) and stand it in an
empty sink or bowl.
2 Gradually add 50gm of
citric acid crystals to the
water, then leave the kettle
to stand. Do not use a
more concentrated
solution.
3 As soon as the
effervescence subsides,
empty the appliance and
rinse it thoroughly with cold
water.
4 Wipe the outside of the
appliance thoroughly with a
damp cloth to remove all
traces of acid which may
damage the finish.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that
the electrical connections
are completely dry before
using the appliance.
