C SWITCHING ON
10 Put the kettle on the stand – take care not to spill.
11 Plug the stand into a power socket (switch the socket on, if it's
switchable).
12 Move the switch to 1 – the light will glow, and the kettle will heat
up.
C SWITCHING OFF
13 When the water boils, the kettle will switch itself off, and the light
will go out.
14 To switch off manually, move the switch to 0.
15 Lifting the kettle off the stand will also switch it off.
C GENERAL
16 Remove the kettle from the stand before pouring.
17 To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don't over-tilt the
kettle.
18 Don't tilt the kettle backwards – water might get on to the
control area.
19 If this happens, let the kettle dry before use – sit it somewhere
warm for 12 hours.
20 When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand.
Don't worry – it's the steam used to switch the kettle off
automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents
under the kettle.
21 Don't worry about discolouration on the floor of the kettle. It's
due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.
F USING WITH INSUFFICIENT WATER
22 This will shorten the life of the element.
23 A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
24 To avoid cycling on and off, you must remove the kettle from the
stand and let it go cold.
25 Sit the kettle on the work surface till it's cold.
26 Don't fill the kettle till it's cold, or it may spit.
