At Kambrook, we believe that safe performance is the first priority in any
consumer product, so that you, our valued customer can confidently
use and trust our products. We ask that any electrical appliance that
you use be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention
placed on the following important operating instructions.

the Kambrook Kettle for the first time and save
for future reference.
• Remove and safely discard any packaging
material and promotional labels before using
the kettle for the first time.
• To eliminate a choking hazard for young
children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover fitted to the power plug of
this kettle.
• This kettle has been designed specifically for
the purpose of boiling drinking quality water

• When using the kettle, avoid spillage of water
on the kettle base and connector as this may
cause damage to the kettle.
• Care should be taken when handling the
kettle during use, ensuring that the kettle
body and parts are not touched as these may
still be hot due to residual heat after boiling.
Always ensure to use the kettle handle when
removing the kettle or pouring water after
kettle has boiled.

plane. Do not operate the kettle unless the
element is fully immersed. Do not move while

Operating Your Kambrook Kettle
Before First Use
Remove any packaging material and
promotional labels before using your
kettle for the first time.
It is recommended before the first use
to fill the kettle to the maximum level
with cold tap water, bring to the boil
and then discard the water.

Care, Cleaning and Storage
Cleaning the Removable
Filter
The Kambrook Stainless Steel 1.8L
Kettle features a removable mesh
filter to filter out scale deposits for
cleaner water. To remove the scale
deposits, remove the filter by opening
the lid of the kettle. Pull the filter
upwards to remove from its position
behind the spout.
The filter can be cleaned by running
under hot water and rubbing with
a soft cleaning cloth or brush. To
replace the filter, simply press the filter
down into the slot behind the spout of
the kettle.
TIP: The filter could become
damaged with time, please
check regularly and replace if
found damaged.
NOTE: Ensure the kettle and
water have cooled down before
attempting to clean the filter.
Mineral Deposits and
Discolouration
Due to the large surface area of the
concealed element interior base,
discolouration due to mineral deposits
from tap water may appear more
obvious by leaving a brown stain on
the base. THIS IS NOT RUST.
To remove the discolouration, follow
the instructions “Removing mineral
deposits”.
11
Removing Mineral Deposits
Mineral deposits in tap water may
cause the kettle interior and water
window to discolour over time.
This may be removed by using a
proprietary kettle descaler which
is available from most leading
supermarkets, department stores and
hardware stores.
Alternatively
1. Fill the kettle until
2
⁄3 full with 1 part
vinegar (or a few slices of lemon)
and 2 parts water, bring to the boil
and allow to stand overnight.
2. Empty the solution from the kettle.
Fill the kettle with clean water,
bring to boil and discard the
water. Repeat and the kettle will
be ready for use.
Storage
Ensure the kettle is switched off,
cleaned and dried before storing.
Ensure that the lid is closed and
locked firmly 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.
