11. When the water has boiled the kettle will switch off automatically,
the switch will return to the "OFF" position and the light will go out.
The kettle can be switched off at any time before the water boils
by pressing the rear of the switch.
12. When you lift the kettle (from the base on cordless model only), you
may see moisture on the surface (of the base for cordless model only).
This is the steam used to switch the kettle off automatically, which then
condenses and is allowed to escape via vents in the underside of the kettle.
This is perfectly normal, and should not be a cause for alarm.
13. When filling or carrying the kettle, do not tilt it backwards, as this may
allow water to pass through the steam opening on to the control area.
Should this occur, the kettle must be allowed to dry before use.
I
: Ensure that the kettle has switched off automatically,
MPORTANT
or is switched off manually and is disconnected, before moving it.
14. Before attempting to pour, unplug the kettle from the power outlet
(for models with cord), or remove kettle from the power base
(for cordless models).
15. To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.
Over-tilting the kettle will split the flow, causing a scald hazard.
16. I
: Do not switch the kettle on unless it contains at least one cup
MPORTANT
of water. Do not pour from the kettle while it is switched on. Misuse of
this kind will shorten the life of the element.
17. If the kettle is accidentally switched on when it does not contain sufficient
water, a boil-dry devise will automatically switch it off. If this occurs, you
must leave it to cool down fully before filling, as it will be hot and spitting
may occur.
A mesh filter has been integrated into the kettle to reduce the amount of scale
residues entering your beverages or food. The filter is removable for cleaning.
To reduce scale build-up, empty out any residual water after boiling. The kettle
should be descaled as normal to prevent scale build-up.
How often the filter should be cleaned will vary according to where you live
and how often you use your kettle. The filter should be cleaned whenever there are
noticeable deposits left on the filter and especially if the rate of pouring decreases.

I
: The kettle must be switched off, disconnected from the power
MPORTANT
outlet and allowed to cool down completely prior to removal or refitting the
filter. Do not use excessive force, as this might damage the filter or the lid.
1. To remove the filter (See Figure 1): Empty the kettle and open lid.
2. Hold the kettle by the handle. With the other hand, grip the tab at the rear
of the filter, then pull it up and out. I
straight up, otherwise you may hit the front of the lid, damaging it.
Keep your fingers clear of the mesh.
