• If you overfill, the kettle may spit boiling water.

• Use the kettle only with the stand supplied (and vice versa).

• If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or someone similarly qualified, to avoid hazard.

• Avoid spillage on the stand/connector.

• The surface of the heating element is subject to residual heat after use.

• Use the appliance according to these instructions. Any misuse may cause potential injury, electric shock or other hazards.

• Do not use this appliance near bathtubs, showers, basins or other vessels containing water.

• Don’t use the kettle for any purpose other than heating water.

• Don’t operate the appliance if it’s damaged or malfunctions.

This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

• staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;

• by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;

• bed and breakfast type environments;

• farm houses.

Before using the kettle for the first time, fill it to the maximum level, boil the water, discard the water, and then rinse. Repeat this process twice to remove any manufacturing dust, etc.

1. Remove the lid.

2. Fill with at least 1 cup of water, but not above the max level.

3. If you want only 1, 2, or 3 cups of water, fill to the 1, 2, or 3 marks inside the kettle.

4. Refit the lid. Always fit the lid when boiling the kettle.

1. Put the stand on a stable, level surface.

2. Plug the stand into the wall socket.

3. Put the kettle on the stand.

4. Move the switch to I.

5. The light will come on and the kettle will start to heat.

6. When the water boils the kettle will switch off automatically.

7. To switch off manually, move the switch to O, or simply lift the kettle off the stand.

When you lift your kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. This is normal and is caused by the steam used to switch your kettle off automatically.

If your kettle boils dry, a safety cut-out device will automatically switch it off. If this happens, unplug your kettle and allow it to cool down until the cut-out resets itself. Allowing your kettle to boil dry will shorten the life of the element.

1. Unplug the stand, and let the kettle cool before cleaning.

2. Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth.

3. Remove the lid.

4. Slide the filter up and out of the guides.

5. Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.

6. Slide the filter down, into the guides.

7. Refit the lid.

You should descale the appliance regularly, at least monthly. Use a proprietary descaler and follow the instructions on the package of the descaler. Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a repair charge.

To avoid environmental and health problems due to hazardous substances, appliances and rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries marked with the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol must not be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste. Always dispose of electrical and electronic products and, where applicable, rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries, at an appropriate official recycling/collection point.
