BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any packaging and promotional
material from your kettle and position it on
a stable, secure, dry and level work surface
away from the edge.
Before connecting to a power source,
make sure your mains supply voltage
is the same as the one indicated on the
appliance. Connect the plug to a suitable
power outlet and make sure that the power
cord does not overhang the work surface.
Excess power cord can be stored in the
power base.
Remove the kettle from the power base
and open the lid. Fill your kettle to the
maximum mark and close the lid.
Place your kettle back onto the power
base. Switch your kettle on, allow it to boil
then discard the water. Repeat twice. This
will remove any residue left over from the
manufacturing process.
USING YOUR KETTLE
If this kettle is lled above the
maximum level mark, hot water may be
ejected from the spout during boiling.
Beware of steam coming from the spout
or lid especially during relling. Never
open the lid when the kettle is boiling.
1. Plug the power base into a suitable
power outlet. NOTE: The kettle will turn
on and enter stand by mode until one of
the buttons on the base unit is pressed.
2. Remove your kettle from the power
base before lling it with water.
3. Fill your kettle with water. You can
ll it through the spout or by opening
the lid. Don’t overll your kettle and
always ensure that there is sufcient
water in your kettle for it to operate
correctly. This is approximately 250ml
or 1 teacup full. Always check the water
level when your kettle is positioned on
its power base.
4. If opened previously, close the lid and
place your kettle back on the base.
5. The temperature touch pad on the base
unit of the kettle allows you to select
your required temperature of water for
the beverage you are making. Choose
your desired temperature by touching
one of the temperature buttons; the
selected temperture will illuminate and
heating will start.
6. The countdown timer on the base of the
unit will indicate the time left until your
kettle reaches the desired temperature.
The length of time the water takes to
get to temperature will vary depending
on the volume of water in the kettle
and the temperature selected. NOTE:
If the selected temperature is changed
during heating the lights and timer on
the base unit will automatically adjust
themselves. NOTE: Due to the variable
way in which heat energy transfers
through water the timer lights may not
extinguish at a steady rate. This is
normal and has no effect on the water
temperature.
7. When your kettle is heating, the
stop button, water level window and
selected temperature will illuminate.
NOTE: During heating the temperature
of the water will be indicated by the
illuminated temperature button. As the
temperature increases the buttons will
illuminate one by one
8. When the water reaches the selected
temperature, your kettle will play a
short tune and the illumination will
ash to indicate the water is ready.
(You have the option to mute the tune
feature if you wish)
9. Heating will switch off automatically
after reaching temperature, or if the
kettle is removed from the base during
heating
10. You may also switch your kettle off
manually at any time by pressing the
stop button again.
11. When the kettle is on the base it
will continue to monitor the water
temperature after the selected
background
5
temperature has been reached. The
current water temperature will be
indicated on the base unit with a slow
pulsing illumination of the temperature
button. Once the water temperature
drops below 80°C the base unit will
enter standby mode
LOWER TEMPERATURE SELECT
MODE
You can even set a temperature that is
lower than the current temperature while
the kettle is cooling, and the kettle will let
you know when it is ready! For example, if
the kettle has boiled and is indicating 100
degrees you can press (for example) 90
degrees and its light will be permanently
on. When the water has cooled to 90
degrees your kettle will play a short tune
and the illumination will ash to indicate the
water is ready.
ERROR ALERT
If the kettle jug is removed from the base
and you attempt to use the base unit the
kettle will sound an error tone, and the
base unit lights will pulse 3 times. To use
the kettle place the jug back onto the base.
MUTE FUNCTION
This function allows you to mute all
sounds.
The mute function can be activated
by holding down the stop button for 3
seconds. There will be a sound after 3
seconds to conrm the mute setting has
been activated.
To deactivate the mute function, hold the
stop button for 3 seconds. There will be a
sound to conrm the mute setting has been
deactivated.

ENERGY SAVING HINTS AND TIPS
A Breville
®
kettle, if used correctly, is a very
energy efcient device. Why not try some
of these energy saving tips:
Only boil the water you need. Overlling
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 ve minutes - the
perfect temperature for a cup of coffee.
Only heat the water to the temperature
required for your chosen beverage.
IF THE KETTLE BOILS DRY
If the kettle is operated with insufcient
water a built-in fail-safe device will
automatically switch it off.
Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool.
When it has cooled down sufciently the
safety device will reset itself.
