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 kettle and wait about 20 minutes for the element to cool.
•Refill kettle, then use as normal and check that kettle functions correctly.
If Your Kettle Does Not Work
Make these simple checks before calling the
•Have you switched the power switch button to ON ( l ) position?
•Has the kettle been accidentally switched on without being filled with water or allowed to boil dry?
Turn the kettle OFF, wait 20 minutes and try again.
•Is the kettle cord firmly plugged into the outlet and the kettle firmly seat- ed in the base?
Anti-Scale Mesh Filter
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 opti- mum performance of the filter it should be periodically cleaned. See “Cleaning Your Kettle.”
