BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any packaging and promotional
material from your kettle and position it on
a stable, secure, dry and level work surface
away from the edge.
Before connecting to a power source,
make sure your mains supply voltage
is the same as the one indicated on the
appliance. Connect the plug to a suitable
power outlet and make sure that the power
cord does not overhang the work surface.
Excess power cord can be stored in the
power base.
Remove the kettle from the power base
and open the lid. Fill your kettle to the
maximum mark and close the lid.
Place your kettle back onto the power
base. Switch your kettle on, allow it to boil
then discard the water. Repeat twice. This
will remove any residue left over from the
manufacturing process.
USING YOUR KETTLE
If this kettle is filled above the
maximum level mark, hot water may be
ejected from the spout during boiling.
Beware of steam coming from the spout
or lid especially during refilling. Never
open the lid when the kettle is boiling.
1. With your kettle switched off, plug the
power base into a suitable power outlet.
2. Remove your kettle from the power
base before filling it with water.
3. Fill your kettle with water. You can
fill it through the spout or by opening
the lid. Don't overfill your kettle and
always ensure that there is sufficient
water in your kettle for it to operate
correctly. This is approximately 250ml
or 1 teacup full. Always check the water
level when your kettle is positioned on
its power base.
4. If opened previously, close the lid and
then switch your kettle on. Make sure
that the lid is correctly closed to ensure
safe operation.

5. When your kettle is switched on, the
on/off switch and water level window
will illuminate.
6. When the water reaches boiling point,
your kettle will switch off automatically.
7. You may also switch your kettle off
manually at any time by moving the
switch to the off position.
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.
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.
