INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

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

-The kettle should always be unplugged when you fill it or add water to it

-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 in measuring th e correct amount. You can fill the kettle by the spout or after Having opened the lid. Do not forget to close the lid after. Otherwise the kettle will not automatically switch off after use.

-Do not pour with less that 0,35 litre of water in the kettle.

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

-An automatic safety cut-out has been fitted into the appliance 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 will 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 on/off switch to "on" position.

-When the water has boiled, the kettle will switch off automatically. After allowing the kettle to cool down for approx. 30 sec. seconds, the water can be brought back to the boil by pushing the switch back to the "on" position. During the cooling down time do not force the on/off switch into the "on" position as this can damage the operating mechanism.

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

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

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.

From time to time, dependent on the nature of your water supply, a lime scale deposit is naturally formed and can be found mostly adhered to

the heating element and reducing the heating capacity.

The amount of lime scale 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.

Lime scale 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 and two parts water. Switch on and wait for the appliance to switch off automatically.

-Let the mixture remain inside the kettle overnight.

-Throw the mixture away the next morning.

-Fill the kettle with clean water up to "MAX" and boil again.

-Throw away this boiled water to remove any remaining scale and vinegar.

-Rinse the inside of the kettle with clean water.
