INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

-Before first use, fill the kettle with clean water to maximum capacity and boil. Discard the water and repeat.

-The kettle should always be unplugged when filling or adding water.

-Fill the kettle with water to the desired level. Do not overfill or there will be a risk of spillage or spitting. The water level indicator will assist you to measure correct amount. You can fill the kettle via the spout or after opening the lid. Do not forget to close the lid after filling otherwise the kettle will not automatically switch off after use.

-Do not fill with less that 0,5 litre of water.

-Do not fill with more than 1,7 litres of water (up to "MAX" indication).

-An automatic safety cut-out has been fitted for protection against overheating. It will operate if the kettle is switched on when containing insufficient water.

-If the automatic safety cut-out has operated, switch the kettle off, disconnect from the power outlet and allow the kettle to cool down for 5- 10 minutes. Then refill with water and switch on - the kettle wills then boil and cut off as in normal operation.

-The kettle may be switched off at any time by either pushing the switch of the kettle to the "up" position or by switching the power off at the power outlet.

-To pour water, lift the kettle from the power base and pour

CORDLESS KETTLE:

-Place the power base on a dry, flat surface.

-Place the kettle on the power base. The electrical connections will be made automatically as the kettle slides onto the power base.

-Plug the cord into an earthed power socket and switch on by depressing the switch of the kettle to the "I" position.

-When the water has boiled, the kettle will switch off automatically. After allowing the kettle to cool down for 15-20 seconds, the water can be brought back to the boil by

pushing the switch back to the "I" position. During the cooling down time do not force the on/off switch into the ("I") position as this can damage the operating mechanism.

- Do not remove the kettle from the power- base without first switching off.

-Remember, if you do not wish to re-boil the kettle, turn it off at power point.

-The kettle may be switched off at any time by either pushing the switch of the kettle to the "0" position or by switching the power off at the power outlet.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR KETTLE:

Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. Remove stubborn spots with a cloth moistened with mild liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or powders. Never immerse the kettle in water or other liquids.

Since this kettle has concealed heating element, is it important to keep the bottom clean, between the decalcification you may use a washing-up brush or sponge.

From time to time, dependent on the nature of your water supply, a limescale deposit is naturally formed and can be found mostly adhered to the heating element and reduce the heating capacity.

The amount of limescale deposited (and subsequently the need to clean or descale) largely depends on the water hardness in your area and the frequency with which the kettle is used.

Limescale is not harmful to your health. But if poured into your beverage it can give a powdery taste to your drink. Therefore, the kettle should be descale periodically as indicated below:

DESCALING:

Descale the kettle regularly. With normal use: at least twice a year.

-Fill the kettle up to the "MAX" with a mixture of one part acetic acid 32 % and two parts water. Switch on and wait for the appliance to switch off automatically.
