general
14 Remove the kettle from the stand before pouring.
15 To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don’t over-tilt the kettle.
16 Don’t tilt the kettle backwards – water might get on to the control area. If this
happens, let the kettle dry before use – sit it somewhere warm for 12 hours.
17 When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don’t worry – it’s the
steam used to switch the kettle off automatically, which then condenses and
escapes via vents under the kettle.
using with insufficient water
18 This will shorten the life of the element.
19 A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
20 To prevent the kettle cycling on and off, remove it from the stand and sit it on the
work surface till it’s cold.
21 Don’t fill the kettle till it’s cold, or it may spit.
care and maintenance
1 Check that the kettle is switched off – move the switch to 0.
2 Unplug the stand, and let the kettle cool down fully.
3 Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth. You may use a little household
detergent, but if you do, rinse well to avoid tainting the water.
4 Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
5 Don’t put the kettle or stand in liquid.
6 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
descale regularly – even in soft water areas
7 Limescale may be white, coloured, even rusty-looking, but it’s normally visible.
8 Phosphate scale isn’t generally visible, but it’s there, even in soft water areas.
9 All scale causes overheating, reduces the kettle’s life, and may trigger the boil-dry
cut-out.
10 So, even with soft water, descale regularly, to help keep your kettle in working order.
11 Use a descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts).
12 Follow the instructions provided with the descaler, rinse several times, then fill, boil
and discard the water, to ensure no residues are left.

repair charge.
