SWITCHING ON
•
Plug the power base into the wall socket.
•
Put the kettle on the power base – take care not to spill.
•
Move the switch to I the light will come on, and the kettle will heat up.
SWITCHING OFF
•
When the water boils the kettle will switch off and the light will go out.
•
To switch off manually, move the switch to 0.
•
Lifting the kettle off the power base will also switch the kettle off.
GENERAL
•
Remove the kettle from the power 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 before use – sit it somewhere warm for 12 hours.
•
When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the power base. Do not worry – it's the
steam used to switch 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's due to
the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.
USING WITH INSUFFICIENT WATER
•
This will shorten the life of the element.
•
A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
•
To prevent the kettle cycling on and off, remove the kettle from the stand and let it cool
before replacing it on the stand.
•
Sit the kettle on the work surface till its cold.
•
Do not fill the kettle till its cold, or it may spit.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
•
Check that the kettle is switched off – move the switch to 0.
•
Unplug the power base, and let the kettle cool down fully.
•
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.
•
Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
•
Do not put the kettle or power base in liquid.
•
Do not use alkaline cleaning agents, solvents or harsh abrasives when cleaning
this appliance.
