6. You may also switch your kettle off manually at

any time by moving the switch to the off position.

Always use caution when lifting or carrying

your kettle when it is full of boiling water and

when pouring it.

ENERGY SAVING HINTS AND TIPS

A Breville

kettle, if used correctly, is a very energy

efficient device. Why not try some of these energy

saving tips:

•

Only boil the water you need. Overfilling your

kettle by one cup is the equivalent to using an

energy saving light bulb for one hour!

•

It is not always necessary to re-boil your kettle.

For example, one litre of water will still be at

90°C after five minutes - the perfect temperature

for a cup of coffee.

IF THE KETTLE BOILS DRY

If the kettle is operated with insufficient water a built

in fail-safe device will automatically switch it off.

•

Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool. When it

has cooled down sufficiently the safety device

will reset itself.

•

Once the safety device has reset, refill your

kettle with cold water and use it as normal.

LIGHTING SEQUENCE

The lights used to illuminate your kettle are light

emitting diodes (LEDs). The amount of energy used

by LEDs is very small—a fraction of the energy used

by a normal light bulb.

STILL HOT ILLUMINATION

After boiling, the illumination of your kettle will

remain red indicating that the water is still hot

enough to make a hot beverage such as tea or

instant coffee. The 'still hot' illumination is active

when the water temperature is above 80ºC. When

the temperature of the water falls below 80ºC, the

illumination will switch off.

Illumination

No illumination unless the temperature of the water

is above 80ºC

The illumination changes from white to red

(assuming that the water is cool) to indicate the

progress of the boiling cycle. The redder the

illumination, the closer the water is to boiling.

If you switch your kettle on when the water inside is

already partially heated, the illumination colour will

be appropriate to the temperature of the water. The

illumination will continue getting redder as your kettle

reheats the water to boiling point.

The illumination will remain red until the temperature

of the water has fallen below 80ºC. This saves you

from reboiling hot water.

CLEANING

Always unplug the kettle from the mains

supply socket and allow it to completely cool

down before cleaning or descaling it. Do not

immerse the kettle, power base or power cord

and plug in water or any other liquid.

1. Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a

damp cloth and then polish with a soft dry cloth.

Do not use steel wool pads or harsh/abrasive

cleaners.

2. Descale your kettle regularly to keep it working

efficiently. Use a proprietary descaling product

following the manufacturer's instructions

carefully.

CLEANING THE FILTER

Before removing or refitting the filter, switch

off the kettle and empty it. Allow it to cool

completely, then unplug the power base from the

mains supply socket. Never operate the kettle

without the filter fitted.

• Open the lid and remove the filter from behind

the spout.

• Rinse the filter under a tap whilst brushing it with

a soft brush.

• In hard water areas it may be necessary to

descale the filter using a descaling product. Use

a proprietary descaling product following the

manufacturer's instructions carefully.

• The filter may be washed safely in the cutlery

rack of a dishwasher.

• Refit the filter back into your kettle.

AFTER SALES & REPLACEMENT PARTS

In the case the appliance does not operate but is
