Filling
- Remove the kettle from the base unit before lling.
- Open lid and ll kettle to desired level. Do not ll with less
than 0,3 litre of water to prevent the kettle running dry
while operating; misuse of this kind will shorten the life of
the element. Do not ll with more than 1.7 litres of
water (up to the MAX level). If the kettle is overlled,
there is a risk that boiling water may be ejected
causing burns.
Switching on
- Plug the power base into the
mains socket.
- Place kettle on power base.
- Press the ON/OFF switch down
(g. 5) to switch the kettle on.
- The pilot light will switch on.
- The kettle will automatically
switch o once the water is
boiled (the ON/OFF switch will
click upwards and the lights will switch o ).
- To turn the kettle o before the water boils, you may move
the ON/OFF switch up to the OFF position, or simply lift the
kettle from its base - it will switch o and the switch will
return to the OFF position automatically.
Pouring
- Remove the kettle from the power base and carefully pour
out the water. Do not tilt the kettle suddenly or pour water
out at too sharp an angle.
- When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see moisture
on the top surface of the base. Condensation on the base is
perfectly normal, and should not be a cause for alarm.
SAFETY DEVICES
1) Automatic ON/OFF switch:
Your kettle is tted with an ON/OFF switch which
automatically switches o once the water has boiled. If the
kettle has just boiled, wait a minute or so before re-boiling
the kettle. Do not attempt to hold the ON/OFF switch in the
on position or adjust the switch mechanism.
2) Safety cut-out:
If the kettle is switched ON with too little or no water, it is
protected against damage by a safety cut-out which will
switch o the power. If this cut-out operates, disconnect the
kettle from the mains supply and leave to cool down before
relling with cold water (otherwise the element could be
damaged).
3) If kettle is lifted from base while operating (ON), it will
automatically switch o.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the kettle
- Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the
appliance from the mains before cleaning.
- Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.
- Use a soft dampened cloth to wipe the outside of the kettle
and dry with a soft, dry cloth.
- DO NOT use metal polish or harsh scouring agents.
- Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry.
Scale
Scale is mainly calcium carbonate (chalk), a harmless, naturally
occurring mineral found in most water supplies. “Hard” water
contains more of this mineral than “soft” water. When the water
is heated, the minerals in the water solidify, making the water
appear cloudy. These minerals form a thin lm on the walls,
element and on the surface of the water. The water may look like
it has white coloured pieces of plastic oating on the surface. On
traditional kettle elements, scale forms a hard white“crust”which
adversely aects performance and reduces the life of the element.
As soon as you notice a lm forming on the water, or, when
cleaning the lter, if you notice a lm on the walls or the element,
simply rinse the kettle and wipe it out.
Scale lter
Your kettle is tted with a scale lter to prevent loose particles of
scale being poured into your beverage.This lter is both removable
and washable. The frequency with which you will need to clean
any scale deposits from your lter will depend on the hardness of
water in your area and how often you use the kettle. You should
remove and clean the water lter when you notice any deposits
being left on the lter or if the pouring eciency is impaired.
Removing the scale lter
- Allow the kettle to cool down fully.
- Disconnect the appliance from the mains electrical supply.
- Make sure that your hands are clean and free from soap,
cream or anything which might taint the water.
- Empty the kettle and remove the lter as shown in g. 1.
- Rinse under a tap whilst brushing with a soft brush (g. 2).
- Replace the lter (g. 3).
To clean the scale lter
It is vital to clean and descale regularly in order to maintain good
working order.
- Use descaler for kettles. When limescale starts forming on
the heating element, buy a suitable descaler and descale
according to the instructions given on the descaler pack.
After descaling, boil the kettle repeatedly with fresh water
and rinse thoroughly to completely eliminate all residues
of descaler which could damage the appliance. If the lter
requires descaling, remove and immerse in the same
descaling solution.
- Make sure electric parts are completely dry before using the
kettle.
