Mellerware 21405, 62200W manual Additional Warnings for Kettles, Instructions for USE, Descaling

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS FOR KETTLES:

1.The kettle and base must not be operated with any other models of kettle.

2.The kettle is fitted with a dry-operation cutout that switches off the kettle if it has boiled dry. If this happens allow the kettle to cool down for approximately 15 minutes, then fill the kettle with cold water. This will reset the cutout so that the kettle can be used again.

3.Do not overfill. Check the inside water level gauge when filling.

4.Never remove the cord from the kettle while in operation. Switch off the appliance first.

5.Ensure the lid is closed properly before switching on, to prevent water splashing out when boiling. Do not open the lid when boiling.

6.After the kettle has boiled it may need a few minutes to cool down before restarting.

7.Take care when pouring. Pour slowly and do not over-tilt.

8.Make sure the kettle is always used on a flat surface.

9.Water will remain hot for considerable time after boiling and will present a scalding hazard. Take care and keep away from children.

10.The outside surface of the kettle will become hot during use. To avoid injuries only hold the handle.

11.Take care to avoid contact with the steam coming from the lid or spout.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

It is important that you read these instructions before using your kettle for the first time.

1.Open the lid of the kettle, fill with tap water to the desired level. (min. capacity is 0.5L and max. capacity is 1.7L). In hard water areas, using purified or filtered water is recommended to reduce the amount of scale build up in the kettle.

2.Close the lid by pressing it down until it clicks into place. Place the kettle on the base and plug into the mains.

3.To switch on the kettle, press the On/Off switch down (position 1). The power indicator light will now be on. When the water has boiled the kettle will automatically switch off. You can stop the kettle at any time by pressing the On/Off switch down (position 0).

4.Pour slowly and carefully. If you wish to re-boil, please allow a few moments for the kettle to cool down and reset. WARNING!

If the kettle has just boiled it will be full of steam that will escape if the lid is opened resulting in a burn hazard.

CAUTION!

Kettle parts are hot and can cause injury. Hold the handle only.

IMPORTANT!

Do not open the lid when steam is coming out of the spout. When pouring or filling always remember to disconnect from electricity.

Note:

•If the kettle is switched on when empty or with insufficient water, then the kettle will switch off automatically to protect against dry boiling. Wait until the heating element cools down, refill with tap water and use as normal. This protection function is not designed for regular use, as it will shorten the life of the kettle.

•If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may be ejected.

•The kettle is only to be used with the stand provided.

•The appliance must not be immersed during cleaning.

•If the supply cord is damaged, the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person must replace it in order to avoid a hazard.

Descaling

Always ensure that the kettle is disconnected from the mains before descaling. Scaling or furring is a common problem in hard water areas. It is recommended that a propriety descaler is used whenever scale deposits build up. The instructions supplied with the descaler must always be followed. Scale build up may result in the kettle switching off before boiling. Using a water purifier will help to reduce scale build-up.

Ensure that you descale your filter at regular intervals to avoid impairing the pouring performance of your kettle.

Cleaning and Maintenance

A clean appliance will last longer. Please observe the following instructions to get the best use of your kettle.

•Always disconnect the plug from the mains before cleaning the kettle and base. Wipe the plastic parts and base with a moist cloth. Never use an aggressive scourer, steel wool of strong chemical cleaners.

•Descale the kettle regularly. This will depend on the hardness of the water and the frequency of use. Scale build up will significantly reduce the heating efficiency of the kettle.

•Use of a proprietary descaler for kettles is recommended. Follow the instructions provided carefully.

•For stainless steel kettles you should use a soft absorbent cloth to remove the condensation from the body to prevent minerals in the steam/water from oxidizing and giving the appearance of rust marks on the kettle. A metal polish should be used to protect and maintain your kettle in a good condition.

Disposal and the Environment

If your electrical appliance requires replacement or is of no further use, please think of protecting the environment. Contact you local authority for advice as many have facilities for environmentally safe disposal.
