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.
•
The integrated water level indicators
allow you to easily see the amount
of water in the kettle.
•
Always ensure that the appliance is
filled till the water is visible through
the level indicator.
•
Boil only as much water as you
need as this saves electricity.
2
Place the appliance on the base
unit, ensuring the appliance locates
on to the 360° connector.
•
The 360° connector allows the
appliance to be located at any
position - ideal for left and right
handed users and convenient
positioning on worktop.
3
Plug in and switch on at the wall
socket.
4
Switch the appliance on. The water
level indicator will light up.
5
When the water boils the appliance
will switch off automatically and the
whistle (if applicable) will sound to
indicate that the kettle has boiled.

If you are using the appliance for
the first time, pour away the boiled
water and refill.
6
Lift the appliance from the base unit
by the handle ensuring you hold the
appliance level.
•
To re-boil, switch to ON again. If the
appliance 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 appliance 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.

Descaling
IMPORTANT: As this appliance is
fitted with a concealed element it
must be descaled regularly. The
frequency of descaling depends on
usage and the hardness of the
water in your area.
xExcessive scale can cause the
appliance to switch off before
boiling and may damage the
element invalidating the warranty.
It is essential that regular descaling
takes place.
Remove hard scale using a
proprietary descaling product
suitable for stainless steel, glass or
plastic.
For stainless steel kettles please
follow the instructions carefully.
Alternatively use citric acid crystals
(available from most pharmacies) as
follows:
1
Fill the appliance 3/4 full, boil, then
unplug the appliance (remove the
cordless kettle from the base unit)
and stand it in an empty sink or
bowl.
2
Gradually add 50gm of citric acid
crystals to the water, then leave the
kettle to stand. Do not use a more
concentrated solution.
3
As soon as the effervescence
subsides, empty the appliance and
rinse it thoroughly with cold water.
4
Wipe the outside of the appliance
thoroughly with a damp cloth to
remove all traces of acid which may
damage the finish.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the
electrical connections are
completely dry before using the
appliance.
