Getting the best from your
new kettle...
Empty the water out of the
kettle after first boiling
To clean away any deposits that are
left in the kettle after the
manufacturing process.
Descale as appropriate for the
hardness of the water in your
area
It is important to descale as the
performance of the kettle and auto
switch-off will be impaired.
Safety first
Always pour water slowly and
carefully to prevent the splashing of
scalding water.
Fast boil kettles perform
differently
If your kettle is a fast boil model, it
may sound louder during boiling,
and switch off suddenly with no
after noise - this is normal.
Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following common
sense safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of injury or
death and secondly the danger of
damage to the appliance. These are
indicated in the text by the following
two conventions:
WARNING: Danger to the
person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the
appliance!
In addition we offer the following
safety advice.

• Always locate your kettle away from
the edge of the worktop.
• Ensure that the kettle is used on a
firm, flat surface.

kettle onto a metal tray or metal
surface whilst in use.
