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 O.
GENERAL
When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don't 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, don't 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.
You must then remove the kettle from its stand to reset the cut-out.
Sit the kettle on the work surface till it's cold.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Unplug the stand, and let the kettle cool before cleaning.
Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth.
THE FUNNEL
1. Open the lid.
2. Put your thumbs inside the funnel.
3. Gently press one thumb against either side of the funnel and lift it out of the kettle.
DISPOSAL
Sadly, nothing lasts forever, and the day will come when your appliance comes to the end of its
natural life.
The appliance contains a battery, which must be removed from the appliance, and recycled, or
disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
Put the end of a screwdriver in the notch above the Memo, and prise it out of the lid.
Your local authority will have arrangements for recycling or disposing of the BRITA® Memo.
