Operation of your kettle
To fill the kettle, remove it from the power base and open the lid by pressing the lid release button. Fill with the desired amount of water.
NOTE
Always fill the kettle between the minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX) marks on the water window. Too little water will result in the kettle switching ‘Off’ before the water has boiled. Filling above maximum (MAX) mark may result in boiling water splashing from the kettle.
Close the lid, ensuring it is locked firmly into place. Position the kettle securely onto the power base and insert the power plug into a 110/120V power outlet.
Press the ‘On/Off’ switch to the ‘On’ position for water to boil.
NOTE
To operate correctly, the kettle should always be used with the scale filter firmly in place. See page 13.
NOTE
This kettle must only be used with the power base supplied. Use caution when pouring water from your kettle, as boiling water will scald. Do not pour the water too quickly.
Safety Boil Dry Protection
The kettle is fitted with a safety device which protects against overheating should the kettle be operated with insufficient water. If this occurs, the kettle will stop heating. Allow kettle to cool before refilling. Remove the kettle from the power base and add water. Return the kettle to the power base. The safety device will then automatically reset.
For additional safety, your kettle is fitted with an additional thermal cut out. In the event of overheating, the kettle will automatically shut down to prevent further damage. Should this occur, contact Breville Customer Service.
