switching off
10 When the water boils the kettle will switch off and the light will go out.
11 To switch off manually, move the switch to 0.
general
12 To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don't over-tilt the kettle.
13 Don't tilt the kettle backwards, water might get on to the control area. If this happens, let the
kettle dry before use – sit it somewhere warm for 12 hours.
14 When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don't worry – it's the steam
used to switch off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents under the
kettle.
15 You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, don't worry – it's due to
the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.
using with insufficient water
16 This will shorten the life of the element. A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
17 To prevent the kettle cycling on and off, remove the kettle from the stand and let it cool
before replacing it on the stand.
care and maintenance
18 Check that the appliance is switched off – move the switch to 0.
19 Unplug the stand from the wall socket, and let the kettle cool down fully before cleaning.
20 Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth
21 Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
descale regularly
22 Descale regularly, (at least monthly) to keep your kettle in good working order.
23 Use a descaler suitable for use in plastic products (most products have plastic parts). Follow
the instructions on the descaler, rinse several times, then fill, boil and discard the water, to
ensure no residues are left.
, Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a repair charge.
