USING WITH INSUFFICIENT WATER
•
Using the kettle with insufficient water will shorten the life of the element.
•
If the kettle is accidently switched on when it does not contain sufficient water, a
boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
•
To prevent the kettle cycling on and off, remove it from the power base and the boil
switch will pop up.
•
Sit the kettle on a stable heat resistant surface until it has fully cooled down.
•
Do not fill the kettle with water until it is cold, or it may spit.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
•
Switch the power off and remove the plug from the wall power outlet.
•
Allow the kettle to cool down fully.
•
Wipe over the outside of the kettle and power base with a damp cloth. A mild dishwashing
detergent may be used if required.
•
Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
•
Do not immerse the kettle or power base in liquid.
•
Do not use alkaline cleaning agents or harsh abrasives when cleaning this appliance.
•
Clean the inside of the kettle using the instructions in the "DE-SCALE REGULARLY"
section. The filter and the funnel should be removed prior to de-scaling.
DE-SCALE REGULARLY – EVEN IN SOFT WATER AREAS
Water contains minerals that will form deposits on the inside of your kettle, commonly
referred to as scaling. Scaling discolours the internal surfaces and can affect the heating
and noise performance.
To maintain the performance of your kettle, it should be de-scaled every three months or
so. De-scale more frequently if you live in a hard water area.
•
Add a commercially available de-scaler to the empty kettle, in accordance with the
instructions on the de-scaler packaging (Available from your supermarket).
Fill the kettle with fresh cold water to the max level mark on the water gauge.
•
•
Switch the ON/OFF switch to ON and allow the kettle to boil.
•
Once the water has boiled allow the kettle to cool.
•
Once the kettle has cooled, discard the water into the sink.
RINSE AFTER DE-SCALING
Fill the kettle with fresh cold water to the max level mark on the water gauge.
•
•
Switch the ON/OFF switch to ON and allow the kettle to boil.
•
Discard the water into the sink.
•
Rinse 1 or 2 times further with fresh water as required.
NOTE: Products returned under warranty with faults due to scale may be subject to a
repair charge.
