OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT
OPERATING
your Breville product
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any promotional material attached
to your kettle. It is recommended that before
first use, the kettle is filled to the maximum
level with cold tap water, boiled and water
discarded. Your kettle will only operate
when positioned on the power base with the
‘ON/OFF’ switch in the ‘On’ position. The
kettle will automatically switch off once the
water has boiled.
OPERATION OF YOUR KETTLE
To fill the kettle, remove it from the power
base and lift the lid to open. Fill with
desired amount of water.
NOTE
Always fill the kettle between the
minimum (500ml) and maximum
(1700ml) marks on the water
window. Too little water will result
in the kettle switching ‘Off’ before
the water has boiled or reached the
selected temperature. Filling above the
maximum mark (MAX) may result in
boiling water splashing from the kettle.
Ensure the lid is locked firmly into place.
Position the kettle securely onto the power
base. Insert the power plug into a 220/240V
power outlet and switch on.
Press the ‘ON/OFF’ switch to the ‘On’
position for water to boil.
NOTE
This kettle must only be used with
the power base supplied. Use caution
when pouring water from your kettle,
as boiling water will scald. Do not
pour the water too quickly.
The kettle will automatically switch ‘Off’
once the water has boiled. Lift the kettle
from the power base and pour the water.
Take care to hold the kettle level, especially
when filled to the maximum level. To re-boil
it may be necessary to wait for a few seconds
to allow the control to reset.
If further heating of the kettle is not
required, switch ‘Off’ at the power outlet,
unplug the power cord and empty the water
from the kettle. Replace the kettle onto the
power base and close the lid.
SAFETY BOIL DRY PROTECTION
The kettle is fitted with a safety device, which
protects against overheating should the
appliance be operated with insufficient water.
If this occurs, the kettle will stop heating.
Switch ‘Off’ at the power outlet and allow
kettle to cool before refilling. Remove the
kettle from the power base and add water.
Return the kettle to the power base. The
safety device will then automatically reset.
For additional safety, your kettle is fitted
with an additional thermal cut out. In
the event of overheating, the kettle will
automatically shut down to prevent further
damage. Should this occur, take your kettle
to an authorized Breville Service Centre.
WARNING
This appliance is designed for boiling
of drinking quality water only. Never
use to heat or boil any other liquids
or foodstuffs. The lid should always
be firmly in place and locked into the
closed position before use.
WARNING
Do not lift the lid to open during and
after operation. This may result in
boiling water splashing from the kettle.
Pour out all the hot water from the
kettle before opening the lid to refill.

CARE & CLEANING
CARE & CLEANING
Always switch ‘Off’ at the power outlet and
unplug the appliance from the power outlet
before cleaning.
REMOVABLE FILTER
The Breville Soft Top™ Dual kettle features
a removable mesh filter to remove scale
deposits for cleaner water. To remove the
scale deposits from the filter, open the lid
and slide the filter up and out of the kettle.
The filter can be cleaned by running under
hot water and rubbing with a cleaning cloth
or brush. To replace filter, simply slide the
filter down into the slot behind the spout of
the kettle and push back into position.
NOTE
The filter could become damaged
with time. Please check regularly and
replace if found damaged.
NOTE
The concealed element in the base of
the kettle is made from high quality
stainless steel. Any brown stains
appearing are the result of mineral
deposits and are not rust.
REMOVAL OF MINERAL DEPOSITS
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause
the kettle interior and water gauge to
discolour over time. This may be removed
by using Breville Kettle Cleaner (BKC250)
or a proprietary kettle descaler which is
available from most leading supermarkets,
department and hardware stores.
BREVILLE KETTLE CLEANER

1. Add 100ml of Breville Kettle Cleaner
to 1.6 litres of water.
2. Fill kettle with mixture on a
protected surface.
3. Bring kettle to boil and let stand for
30 minutes.
4. Clean spout by using a cloth dampened
with Breville Kettle Cleaner, rub well.
Then wipe off.
5. Bring the kettle to boil for a second time,
then empty solution.
6. Fill kettle with fresh water and bring to
the boil, discard boiled water.
Your kettle is now ready to make your next
cup of tea/coffee.

area, power base, power cord or power
plug in water, or allow moisture to
come into contact with these parts.
TO CLEAN THE EXTERIOR
The outside of the kettle may be wiped over
with a damp cloth and polished with a soft
dry cloth.
NOTE
Do not use chemicals, alkaline
cleaning agents, steel wool or abrasive
cleaners to clean the inside or outside
of the kettle. Use a mild cleaning
agent with a soft damp cloth.
STORAGE

dry before storing. Ensure the lid is closed
and locked securely into place. Wrap the
power cord around the cord storage under the
power base. Stand the kettle upright on the
power base. Do not store anything on top.
