1.Open the lid of the kettle, fill with tap water to the desired level. (min. capacity is 0.5L and max. capacity is 1.7L). In hard water areas, using purified or filtered water is recommended to reduce the amount of scale build up in the kettle.

Note:
•If the kettle is switched on when empty or with insufficient water, then the kettle will switch off automatically to protect against dry boiling. Wait until the heating element cools down, refill with tap water and use as normal. This protection function is not designed for regular use, as it will shorten the life of the kettle.
•If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may be ejected.
•The kettle is only to be used with the stand provided.
•The appliance must not be immersed during cleaning.
•If the supply cord is damaged, the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person must replace it in order to avoid a hazard.
Descaling
Always ensure that the kettle is disconnected from the mains before descaling. Scaling or furring is a common problem in hard water areas. It is recommended that a propriety descaler is used whenever scale deposits build up. The instructions supplied with the descaler must always be followed. Scale build up may result in the kettle switching off before boiling. Using a water purifier will help to reduce scale
Ensure that you descale your filter at regular intervals to avoid impairing the pouring performance of your kettle.
Cleaning and Maintenance
A clean appliance will last longer. Please observe the following instructions to get the best use of your kettle.
•Always disconnect the plug from the mains before cleaning the kettle and base. Wipe the plastic parts and base with a moist cloth. Never use an aggressive scourer, steel wool of strong chemical cleaners.
•Descale the kettle regularly. This will depend on the hardness of the water and the frequency of use. Scale build up will significantly reduce the heating efficiency of the kettle.
•Use of a proprietary descaler for kettles is recommended. Follow the instructions provided carefully.
•For stainless steel kettles you should use a soft absorbent cloth to remove the condensation from the body to prevent minerals in the steam/water from oxidizing and giving the appearance of rust marks on the kettle. A metal polish should be used to protect and maintain your kettle in a good condition.
