11. Once the kettle has boiled, the boil switch releases.
Do not hold the switch on while the kettle is boiling.
12. At the end of a boil cycle a drop of water may emerge
from vent at the base of the kettle control housing.
This is normal.
Tips for Using Your Cord-Free Kettle
The cord-free kettle has the power
supply connected to the Power Base
only. This eliminates the need to plug
and unplug the cord from the electri-
cal outlet. However, it is always a
good safety practice to unplug the
Power Base when not in use.
For general operation, see "Using
Your Automatic Kettle."
• After filling the kettle with water, place on the Power Base
so that it is correctly engaged.
• After use, the kettle may be left on the base, but unplug
the cord from the wall power socket.
• Do not attempt to connect any other appliance to the base
unit, or tamper with the connector in any way. Special
interlocked shutters are designed to prevent access to the
live pins until the kettle is attached to the base unit.

If Your Kettle Boils Dry
The kettle element is protected by an automatic safety device.
If the kettle is accidentally switched on without water, or is
allowed to boil dry, the kettle will automatically repeat a cycle
of switching off, cooling down, and switching back on.
If this happens, you should:
1. Unplug the kettle.
2. Wait about 10 minutes for the element to cool down and
then use as normal and check that the kettle functions
correctly.
The kettle has a further protection incorporated in the control
which will operate in the unlikely event of the boil dry thermo-
stat failing. Should this operate, the kettle is only serviceable
by an authorized service agent.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE KETTLE YOURSELF.
Using the 1 L Automatic Kettle
Before First Use: Fill the kettle to maximum capacity and
bring to a boil, allowing water to boil for 5 minutes. Discard
water and repeat the process. Rinse out the kettle 2 or 3
times.
IMPORTANT: For increased efficiency and longer life the kettle
must be kept clean of mineral deposits. We recommend that
you empty the kettle after each use to prevent mineral deposits.
