OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove any promotional material attached to your kettle. It is recommended that before first use, the kettle is filled to the maximum level with cold tap water then boiled. Discard the water. Your kettle will only operate when positioned on the power base with the ON/OFF switch in the ON position. The kettle will automatically switch off once the water has boiled.

OPERATION OF YOUR KETTLE

To fill the kettle, remove it from the power base and open the lid by pressing the lid release button. Fill with the desired amount of water.
NOTE
Always fill the kettle between the minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX) marks on the water window.
Too little water will result in the kettle switching OFF before the water has boiled. Filling above maximum (MAX) mark may result in boiling water
splashing from the kettle.
Close the lid, ensuring it is locked firmly into place. Position the kettle securely onto the power base and insert the power plug into a 110/120V power outlet. Press the ON/OFF switch to the ON position for water to boil.
NOTE
To operate correctly, the kettle should always be used with the scale filter firmly in place.
NOTE
This kettle must only be used with the power base supplied. Use caution when pouring water from your kettle, as boiling water will scald. Do not
pour the water too quickly.
The kettle will automatically switch OFF Once the water has boiled. Lift the kettle from the power base and pour the water.
Take care to hold the kettle level, especially when filled to the maximum level. To re boil it may be necessary to wait for a few seconds to allow the control to reset. If further heating of the kettle is not required, unplug the power cord and empty the water from the kettle. Replace the kettle onto the power base and close the lid.

SAFETY BOIL DRY PROTECTION

The kettle is fitted with a safety device which protects against overheating should the appliance be operated with insufficient water. If this occurs, the kettle will stop heating. Press the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and allow the kettle to cool before refilling. Remove the kettle from the power base and add water. Return the kettle to the power base. The safety device will then automatically reset.
For additional safety, your kettle is fitted with an additional thermal cut out. In the event of overheating, the kettle will automatically shut down to prevent further damage. Should this occur, contact Breville Consumer Service.

This appliance is designed for boiling drinking quality water only. Never use to heat or boil any other liquids or foodstuffs. The lid should always
be firmly in place and locked into the closed position before use.

Do not press the lid release button on the handle to open the lid during operation. This may result in boiling water splashing from the kettle. Pour
out all the hot water from the kettle before opening the lid to refill.

CARE & CLEANING

Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.

REMOVABLE FILTER

The Breville kettle features a removable mesh filter to remove scale deposits for cleaner water. To remove the scale deposits from the filter, open the lid and slide the filter backwards towards the handle of the kettle.
The filter can be cleaned by running under hot water and rubbing with a cleaning cloth or brush. To replace the filter, ensure the protrusion on the filter is facing upwards. Push the filter towards the pouring spout until it is locked into position.
NOTE
The filter could become damaged with time. Please check regularly and replace if found damaged.
NOTE
The concealed element in the base of the kettle is made from high quality stainless steel. Any brown stains appearing are the result of mineral
deposits and are not rust.
NOTE
To operate correctly, the kettle should always be used with the scale filter firmly in place.

REMOVAL OF MINERAL DEPOSITS

Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the kettle interior to discolor over time. This may be removed by using a proprietary kettle descaler which is available from most leading supermarkets, department and hardware stores.
Alternatively:

1. Fill the kettle until two-thirds full with 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water. Boil and allow to stand overnight.
2. Empty the solution from the kettle. Fill the kettle with clean water, bring to boil and discard the water. Repeat and the kettle will be ready for use.

Never immerse the kettle base, switch area, power base, power cord or power plug in water, or allow moisture to come into contact with these parts.

Do not remove the diffuser ring located on the base inside the kettle.

TO CLEAN THE EXTERIOR

The outside of the kettle may be wiped over with a damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth.
NOTE
Do not use chemicals, alkaline cleaning agents, steel wool or abrasive cleaners to clean the inside or outside of the kettle. Use a mild cleaning agent with a soft damp cloth.

STORAGE

Ensure the kettle is switched off, clean and dry before storing. Ensure the lid is closed and locked securely into place. Wrap the power cord around the cord storage under the power base. Stand the kettle upright on the power base. Do not store anything on top.
