Follow these steps to use your COOKWORKS WK8315NSSHY kettle:

1. Place the kettle and stand on a stable, flat, heat resistant surface and away from surfaces that may be damaged by steam.

2. Fully unwind the cable from the stand and plug in. For safety do not allow the cable to dangle over the edge of units.

3. Remove the kettle from the stand; remove the lid and fill to the required level using the markings on the clear water gauge as a guide. Do not fill past the MAX (1.5 litre / 6 cups) or below the MIN (0.5 litre / 2 cups) level.

4. Close the lid fully until it clips into place and ensure that the switch is in the off position (lift switch up) before replacing on the stand.

5. Turn the kettle so that the spout faces away from you and switch the kettle on by pressing the switch downward (I). The kettle will start to operate and the power indicator (in the switch) will illuminate.

6. When the water boils, the kettle will switch off automatically and the indicator light will go off.

7. To stop or interrupt the boiling process, switch the appliance off by lifting the switch up before removing the kettle from the stand.

Before using your COOKWORKS WK8315NSSHY kettle for the first time, fill the kettle to the maximum level, bring to the boil and then discard the water. Repeat this step two further times.

The COOKWORKS WK8315NSSHY kettle is fitted with a safety device that automatically switches off the heater element if the appliance is inadvertently switched on when empty or if it boils dry. In this case, allow the kettle to cool completely (minimum 15 minutes) before refilling with cold water. The kettle will resume operation after refilling.

To maximize the efficiency of the COOKWORKS WK8315NSSHY kettle, clean and descale it regularly.

1. Switch off, unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely.

2. Press the lid release to open the lid and slide out the filter.

3. Clean the filter under a running tap while gently brushing with a soft nylon brush to remove the scale.

4. Descale with a proprietary descaler suitable for kettles and use in accordance with the instructions on the pack. Alternatively, half fill the kettle with water and add the juice of one lemon. Boil the kettle and allow it to stand for 15 minutes. Repeat this last step a further two times before discarding the solution.

5. After descaling, fill the kettle to the maximum level, bring to the boil and then discard the water.

6. Refit the filter. Support the filter with the fingers and fit the bottom of the filter into the clip at the base of the spout. Clip the top of the filter under the top lip of the spout.
