BEFORE USING YOUR KETTLE
!!
!!
!
WARNING
Do not operate this kettle without the filter fitted.
1 Remove any packaging and promotional material from the kettle and
position the kettle on a dry, level, secure work surface away from the
edge.
2 Before connecting to a power source, make sure your mains supply
voltage is the same as the one indicated on the bottom of this appliance.
Ensure that the on / off switch is in the off position (up).
Connect the plug to a suitable power outlet and ensure that the power
cord does not overhang the work surface.
3 Remove the kettle from the power base and open the lid by depressing
the lid release button. Fill the kettle to the maximum mark.
Close the lid and place the kettle back onto the power base, ensuring the
kettle is not over-filled. Always compare the water level against the
maximum water mark, with the kettle positioned on the power base.
4 Press the on / off switch down. When the water reaches boiling point the
kettle will automatically turn off. Discard the water. Repeat this procedure
two or more times. This removes any residues that may have remained
from the manufacturing process. Remove and rinse the filter before use.
See cleaning the filter section.

1 Plug the kettle into a suitable power outlet. Ensure that the On/Off switch
is in the Off (up) position.
2 Remove the kettle from the power base and open the lid by depressing
the lid release button.
3 Fill the kettle with enough water to completely cover the element but do
not fill above the maximum level indicator marked on the water gauge.
4 Close the lid fully to ensure safe operation of the kettle.
5 Ensure the kettle is correctly seated on the power base. Switch the kettle
on by pressing the On/Off switch down. The water level window will
illuminate and the water will start to boil.
When the water reaches boiling point it will automatically switch off and
the illumination will also turn off.
HOW TO USE
!!
!!
!
WARNING
If this product is filled above the max. level, hot water may
be ejected.
✎✎
✎✎
✎ NOTE
To ensure that the kettle is not overfilled, always check the water level with the
kettle positioned on its power base.
✎✎
✎✎
✎ NOTE
You can always manually switch off the kettle by switching the On/Off switch to
the Off (up) position.
✎✎
✎✎
✎ NOTE
The illumination of this kettle is achieved by using LEDs. The amount of energy
used for this is very small, a fraction of what is used by a light bulb.
6 Always ensure the kettle is switched off before removing from or replacing
on the base unit.

A Breville kettle, if used correctly, is a very energy efficient device. Why not
try some of these energy saving tips?
• Only boil the water you need. Overfilling your kettle by one cup is the
equivalent to using an energy saving light bulb for one hour!
• It is not always necessary to re-boil your kettle. For example, one litre of
water will still be at 90°C after five minutes - the perfect temperature for a
cup of coffee.
THINK ENERGY SAVING!
6
CLEANING
• Always unplug from the plug socket and allow to cool fully before
cleaning.
• Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a damp cloth and then polish
with a soft dry cloth. Do not use steel wool pads or harsh/abrasive
cleaners.
• Do not immerse the power base or cord and plug in water or liquid
of any kind. Do not hold under running water.
• The filter inside the kettle needs to be cleaned periodically, how often will
vary according to where you live and how often you use your kettle. You
should clean it whenever there are any noticeable deposits left on the filter
and especially if the rate of pouring starts to reduce.
• In hard water areas, scale may build up on the element. Descale regularly
using a proprietary descaler.

CLEANING THE FILTER
Removing/Refitting the Filter
Important: Before removing or
refitting the filter, switch the kettle off
and empty. Allow to cool completely
then unplug the power base.
To Remove the Filter
• Ensure the kettle has cooled
fully and is empty.
Paying close attention to how
the filter is installed, push down
gently on the top edge and
unclip.
• Lift the filter vertically out of the
kettle.
To Clean the Filter
• Rinse filter under a tap whilst
brushing with a soft brush. In
hard water areas it may be
necessary to descale with a
descaling agent.
Use a proprietary descaler,
following the manufacturer’s
instructions carefully.
To Refit the Filter
• Make sure that your hands are
clean and free from soap,
cream or anything which might
taint the water.
• Place kettle on the worktop
and locate the filter into the
spout as follows:
Holding the top of the filter,
align the filter over the spout
entrance. Locate the bottom
clip position first and then clip
the top into position by pushing
sideways.

✎ NOTE
To prevent damage to the filter,
