everyday use
38 Put the stand on a stable, level surface.
39 Route the cable so it doesn't overhang, and can't be caught or tripped over.
fill the reservoir
40 Remove the kettle from the stand.
caution
keep clear, if it has recently boiled, steam may escape from the lid segments
41 Slide the fill button towards the kettle, to open the lid segments, and hold it there.
42 Fill the reservoir, through the lid, with about a litre of water.
43 It's best to measure the water with a jug. It's difficult to measure a litre from a tap.
44 Return the fill button to its rest position.
45 When you've finished, check that the water level isn't above max – if it is, pour the
excess out before boiling, or it may spit boiling water.
switching on
46 Put the kettle on the stand – take care not to spill.
47 Plug the stand into the wall socket.
48 Move the switch to 1. The lights will glow, and the kettle will start to heat up.
switching off
49 When the water boils, the switch will reset to 0, and the light will go off.
50 To switch off manually, move the switch to 0, or simply lift the kettle from the stand.
general
51 Remove the kettle from the stand before pouring.
52 To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don't over-tilt the kettle.
53 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.
54 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.
55 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
56 Boiling with insufficient water will shorten the life of the element.
57 A boil-dry cut-out will disconnect the element
58 Remove the kettle from the stand, and sit it on the work surface till it's cold.
59 Don't replace it on the stand till it's cold.
care and maintenance
1 Unplug the stand, and let the kettle cool down fully.
2 Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth.
3 You may wash the lid and the reservoir (without the filter) with warm soapy water,
but if you do, make sure that you rinse well, to avoid tainting the water.
4 Wipe the stand with a damp cloth.
5 Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
6 Don't put the kettle or stand in liquid.
7 Don't use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
