USING YOUR KETTLE
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. (Note: You may also fill through the spout,
but be careful not to overfill – use water level gauge to check)
2.Close the lid until it clips and plug into the mains.
3.To switch on the kettle, press the On/ Off switch to position 1. (CAUTION: Do not place downward pressure on the switch). 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 to position 0.
4.Pour slowly and carefully. If you wish to re-boil, please allow a minute for the kettle to cool down.
Warning:
If the kettle has just boiled it will be full of steam that will escape if the lid is opened.
IMPORTANT: Do not open the lid when steam is coming out of the spout. Before 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 ±15minutes 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 element. If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may be ejected. The appliance must not be immersed
in liquid 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.
