   Once the kettle is re-located on the power base, it can be switched on 

again at any time. If the switch will not stay down it means the control 
is still a little warm; this is normal and it will simply re-set itself in a few 
seconds when cooled and will be ready to boil again.

N.B If the kettle is accidentally switched on without a sufficient water 

level, a boil dry mechanism will automatically switch the kettle off.
