Operating Your Kambrook STAINLESS STEEL 1.5L Kettle
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any packaging material and promotional labels before using the kettle for the first time.
It is recommended that before the first use to fill the kettle to the maximum level with cold tap water, bring to the boil and then discard the water. (TIP: add a few slices of lemon for a fresher scent). Your kettle will only operate when positioned on the power base with the ON/OFF switch in the ON position. The kettle will automatically switch off once the water is boiled.
OPERATION OF YOUR KETTLE
1.To fill the kettle with water, remove it from the power base and open the lid by pressing the lid release button on top of the handle. The lid will automatically open. Fill with the desired amount of water. Do not operate the kettle without water. Always fill the kettle between the minimum and maximum marks on the water window. Too little water will result in the kettle switching off.
2.Ensure that the lid is closed and locked firmly into position before placing the kettle on the power base.
3.Place the kettle firmly onto the power base. Plug the cord into a 230/240V power outlet and switch on.
4.Press the ON/OFF switch down to the ‘ON’ position. The water level window will illuminate.
5.The kettle will automatically switch off once the water has boiled. Lift the kettle from the power base and pour the water. Take care to hold the kettle level, especially when filled to the maximum level. To
The kettle should be stored on its power base when not in use. The power outlet should be switched off and the power cord unplugged from the power outlet when not in use.
Note: Never operate the kettle dry - too little water will result in the kettle switching off.
Do not overfill the kettle - filling above the maximum mark on the water window may result in boiling water splashing from the kettle.
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 water too quickly.
Note: DO not remove the kettle from the power base during operation. Ensure the kettle has switched to ‘OFF’ position after the water has boiled before removing the kettle from the power base.
WARNING: This appliance is designed for the boiling of drinking quality water only. Never use it to heat or boil any other liquids or foodstuff. The lid should always be firmly in place when using.
WARNING: Do not release the lid while the water is boiling. Ensure the lid is closed whilst boiling.
SAFETY BOIL DRY PROTECTION
The kettle is fitted with a safety device, which protects against overheating should your appliance be operated with insufficient water. If this occurs the kettle will stop heating and automatically switch off.
Should this occur, switch off at the power outlet and unplug. Allow kettle to cool before refilling. When the kettle has cooled down, the safety device will automatically reset when the kettle has cooled down.
CARE AND CLEANING
Always switch appliance off, then switch off at the power outlet and then unplug before cleaning the appliance.
Cleaning the Kettle Exterior
The outside stainless steel surface of the kettle may be wiped over with a damp cloth and polished with a soft, clean dry cloth.
Note: Do not use chemicals, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the kettle.
WARNING: NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE BASE, SWITCH AREA, POWER BASE, POWER SUPPLY CORD OR POWER PLUG IN WATER OR ALLOW MOISTURE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THESE PARTS.
Cleaning the Removable Filter
The Kambrook Stainless Steel 1.5L Kettle features a removable mesh filter to filter out scale deposits for cleaner water. To remove the scale deposits, remove the filter by opening the lid of the kettle. Pull the filter firmly to remove.
The filter can be cleaned by running under hot water and rubbing with a soft cleaning cloth or brush. To replace the filter, simply press the filter down firmly into the slot behind the spout of the kettle.
TIP: The filter could become damaged with time, please check regularly and replace if found damaged
Mineral deposits and discolouration
Due to the large surface area of the concealed element interior base, discolouration due to mineral deposits from tap water may appear more obvious by leaving a brown stain on the base. THIS IS NOT RUST.
To remove the discolouration, follow the instructions “Removing mineral deposits”.
Removing Mineral Deposits
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the kettle interior and water window to discolour over time. This may be removed by using a proprietary kettle descaler which is available from most leading supermarkets, department stores and hardware stores.
Alternatively:
1.Fill the kettle until ²/³ full with 1 part vinegar (or a few slices of lemon) and 2 parts water, bring to the boil and allow to stand overnight.
2.Empty the solution from the kettle. Fill
the kettle with clean water, bring to boil and discard the water. Repeat and the kettle will be ready for use.
WARNING: Never immerse the kettle base, switch area, power base, power supply cord or power plug in water, or allow moisture to come into contact with these parts.
STORAGE
Ensure the kettle is switched off, cleaned and dried before storing. Ensure that the lid is closed and locked firmly into place.
Wrap the power cord around the cord storage under the power base. Stand the kettle upright on the power base. Do not store anything on top.
