BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Fill to 'max', boil, discard the water, and then rinse. Do this three times to remove any dust,
residues, etc., from the kettle.
POSITIONING
•
Put the power base on a stable, level surface.
•
Route the cable so it does not overhang and cannot be caught or tripped over.
•
Wind excess cable beneath the power base.
FILLING
Caution: If the kettle has just boiled it will be full of steam. Keep hands clear as
steam will escape from the kettle when opening the lid.
•
Remove the kettle from the power base.
•
Press the lid release button to open the lid.
•
Fill the kettle with at least 2 cups of water. Do not fill above the 'max' line.
•
If overfilled, the kettle may spit boiling water.
•
Press the lid down to close it.
•
Check the lid is fully closed or the kettle won't switch off when it boils.
SwITCHING ON
•
Plug the power base into a wall power outlet.
•
Place the kettle on the power base – take care not to spill any water.
•
Press the switch down – the water window will illuminate and the kettle will heat up.
Caution: Keep clear, as steam will escape from the spout when boiling.
SwITCHING OFF
•
When the water boils, the kettle will switch itself off.
•
To switch off manually, lift the switch or lift the kettle off the power base.
GENERAL
•
Lift the kettle by the handle to pour.
•
To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.
•
Do not tilt the kettle backwards – water might get into 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. This is the steam
used to switch the kettle off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via
vents under the kettle. This is normal.
•
There may be some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. This is due to the bonding
of the element to the kettle floor.
