Before first use
Before using the appliance for the
first time, fill with water, boil and
pour away.
Operating the appliance
1
Wherever possible fill through the
spout, as this helps to free the filter
from limescale build-up.
•
IMPORTANT : When filling from a
tap, care must be taken to avoid
striking the glass body on the tap.
•
Always ensure that the level of
water in the kettle is filled to at least
the minimum level shown on the
water level indicator.
•
Boil only as much water as you
‹
need as this saves electricity.
2
Place the kettle on the base unit,
ensuring the kettle locates on to the
360° connector.
•
The 360° connector allows the
kettle to be located at any position.
- ideal for left and right handed
users and for convenient positioning
on worktop.
3
Plug in and switch on at the wall
socket.
4
Switch the kettle on. The 'power on'
neon and the kettle glass body, will
light up.
5
When the water boils the kettle will
switch off automatically.
•
If you are using the kettle for the
first time, pour away the boiled
fi
water and refill.
6
Lift the kettle from the base unit by
fl
the handle ensuring you hold the
kettle level.
•
To re-boil, switch to ON again. If the
kettle has just switched off wait a
minute or so before switching it
back on again.
•
If you do not put in enough water, or
switch on the kettle when it is
empty, the safety cut-out will switch
off the power automatically. If this
happens, refill and wait a few
minutes for the element to cool,
then use as normal.
Filter removal
1
Open the lid using the release
button ¤.
2
Lift the filter upwards to remove.
3
To refit the filter, slide it into the side
guides of the filter holder until it
clicks into place. Ensure the filter is
correctly located.
WARNING: Unless the filter is
fitted correctly, the kettle lid
may not close and the kettle
may not switch off after boiling.
