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.
• IMPORTA T : When filling from a tap, care must be taken to avoid
striking the glass body on the tap.
•Always ensure that the level of water in the kettle is filled to at least
the minimum level shown on the water level indicator.
• Boil only as much water as you need as this saves electricity.
2 Place the kettle on the base unit, ensuring the kettle locates on to
the 360° connector.
•The 360° connector allows the kettle to be located at any position.
- ideal for left and right handed users and for convenient
positioning on worktop.
3 Plug in and switch on at the wall socket.
4 Switch the kettle on. In the Illuma, the glass body will light up.
5 When the water boils the kettle will switch off automatically.
•If you are using the kettle for the first time, pour away the boiled
water and refill.
6 Lift the kettle from the base unit by the handle ensuring you hold
the kettle level.
•To re-boil, switch to O again. If the kettle 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 kettle 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.

.
2 Lift the filter upwards to remove.
3 To refit the filter, slide it into the side guides of the filter holder until
it clicks into place. Ensure the filter is correctly located.
WARNING: nless the filter is fitted correctly, the kettle lid
may not close and the kettle may not switch off after boiling.
Descaling
IMPORTA T: 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.
IMPORTA T: Ensure that the electrical connections are
completely dry before using the appliance.

Getting the best from your new kettle...
Safety first
Always pour water slowly and carefully to prevent the splashing
of scalding water.
Important:
When filling from a tap, care must be taken to avoid striking the
glass body on the tap.
Empty the water out of the kettle after first boiling
To clean away any deposits that are left in the kettle after the
manufacturing process
Descale as appropriate for the hardness of the water in your
area
It is important to descale as the performance of the kettle and
auto switch-off will be impaired
Fast boil kettles perform differently
If your kettle is a fast boil model, it may sound louder during
boiling and switch off suddenly with no after noise - this is
normal.
