GENERAL
•
Always remove the kettle from the base before pouring.
•
To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.
•
Do not tilt the kettle backwards - water might get on to the control area. If this happens, let the kettle dry
thoroughly before use – place it somewhere warm for 12 hours.
•
When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the base. Do not worry – it's the steam used to switch
the kettle off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents under the kettle.
•
You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, do not worry – it is due to the
bonding of the element to the kettle floor.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•
This appliance is for household use only and is not user serviceable.
•
Do not open or change any parts by yourself. Please refer to a qualified electrical service department or
return to the supplier if servicing is necessary.
•
Always remember to unplug the unit from the electrical outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
•
Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid or hold it under a running tap to clean.
•
To remove stubborn spots/marks, wipe the surfaces with a cloth slightly dampened in soapy water or
mild non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
•
Unplug the base from the wall socket, and let the kettle cool down before cleaning.
•
Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth. You may use a little household detergent, but if you
do, rinse well to avoid tainting the water.
•
Wipe the base with a damp cloth.
•
Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
•
Do not immerse the kettle or kettle stand in liquid.
•
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
We recommend that you descale your kettle regularly, even in soft water areas. Lime scale may be white,
coloured, or even rusty looking, but it is normally visible. Phosphate scale is not generally visible, but there is
always a build-up, even in soft water areas. Any build-up of scale causes overheating, which reduces the life of
the element, and may trigger the boil-dry cut-out to engage. Descale at least monthly, to help keep your kettle
in working order.
To descale your kettle:
•
Use a descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts). Follow the instructions on the
descaler, then rinse several times, fill, boil and discard the water, to remove all chemical residues.
•
Products returned under guarantee with faults related to scale will be subject to a repair charge.
