wWARNING
Burn Hazard
•Do not overfill as boiling water can escape spout.
•Avoid contact with escaping steam.
•Carefully carry unit holding hot water. Use handle only.
•Do not pour toward or over people.
•Allow to cool before removing lid or cleaning unit.
Anti-Scale Mesh Filter
NOTE: Do not remove the
Scale is caused by lime and calcium in hard water. The mesh filter will prevent these suspended particles from being poured out of the kettle. To ensure optimum performance of the filter it should be periodically cleaned. To clean the filter, rinse it under running water and brush with a soft brush. An old, clean toothbrush works well.
If Your Kettle Boils Dry
The heating element is protected by two automatic safety devices. If your kettle is accidentally switched on without being filled with water, or is allowed to boil dry, the kettle will automatically switch off. You should:
•Unplug the kettle and wait about 20 minutes for the element to cool down.
•Refill the kettle, then use as normal and check that the kettle functions correctly.
