3. Instructions for use
3.1. Before use:
3.1.1. Remove the appliance's protective film (if ap-
plicable).
3.1.2. Before using the product for the first time, clean
the parts that will encounter water in the manner
described in the cleaning section.
3.2. Use and care:
3.2.1. Open the lid of the kettle; fill with tap water to the
desired level (bearing the MIN and MAX marks inside
the kettle in mind). In hard water areas, using purified
or filtered water is recommended to reduce the amount
of scale build up in the kettle. (Note: You may also fill
through the spout but be careful not to overfill).
3.2.2. Close the lid until it clips. Place the kettle on the
base and plug into the mains.
3.2.3. To switch on the kettle, press the on/off switch
to position 1. (CAUTION: Do not place excessive pres-
sure on the switch). When the water has boiled the
kettle will automatically switch off. However, you can
stop the kettle at any time by pressing the on/off switch
to position 0.
3.2.4. Pour slowly and carefully. If you wish to re-boil,
please allow a minute for the kettle to cool down.
3.2.5. Warning: If the kettle has just boiled it will be full
of steam that will escape if the lid is opened.
3.2.6. IMPORTANT: Do not open the lid when steam
is coming out of the spout. Before pouring or filling
always remember to disconnect from the electricity.
3.2.7. Note: If the kettle is switched on when empty
or with insufficient water, then the kettle will switch
off automatically to protect against dry boiling. Wait
±15minutes until the heating element cools down, refill
with tap water and use as normal. This protection func-
tion is not designed for regular use, as it will shorten
the life of the element. If the kettle is overfilled, boiling
water may be ejected. The kettle is only to be used
with the stand provided (cordless models only). The
appliance must not be immersed in liquid during clean-
ing. If the supply cord is damaged the manufacturer or
its service agent or a similarly qualified person must
replace it to avoid a hazard.
4. Cleaning and Maintenance
4.1.1. DESCALING: Always ensure that the kettle is
disconnected from the mains before descaling. Scaling
or furring is a common problem in hard water areas.
4.1.2. Fill the kettle to MAX position and boil the water.
Remove the kettle from the power socket and the base
unit and place it in an empty sink or bowl.
4.1.3. Add 50 grams of Citric Acid (available from
chemists) or other descaling products (available at
supermarkets) to the water or as directed.
4.1.4. Leave it to stand for approximately 5 minutes or
until the effervescence subsides, and then empty the
water. Rinse thoroughly, and wipe.
5. Anomalies and repair
5.1. Take the appliance to an authorized support center
if product is damaged or other problems arise.
