HOW TO USE
Before first use
Remove all packaging.
It is important to ensure the correct plug adaptor is used when operating
in a country not using the UK 13 Amp socket system. If in doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
Fill the kettle with water via the spout or you can also fill the kettle by lifting the
lid. Ensure the lid is firmly closed after filling.
Check that the water level is between the MIN and MAX lines on the water
gauge.
PLEASE DO NOT OVERFILL THE KETTLE PAST THE MAX
LEVEL. DOING SO POSES A SCALDING/FIRE RISK.
Place the kettle on its base, Connect the plug to the mains supply and press
the power switch down
The kettle will switch itself off once the water has boiled
If this is the first time you have used the kettle, discard the water from the
first boiling.
TIPS:
• Do not allow unused water to sit in the kettle for more than a day. This can
lead to the water tasting “tainted”.
• A “tainted” taste can be quite common with new kettles too. It is usually
caused by calcium carbonate in (hard) water interacting with the materials
in the kettle. It is not harmful and can usually be remedied as follows:
Half fill the kettle with water and boil. Once boiled, add 2 tablespoons of
bicarbonate of soda and leave to stand overnight. Discard the water then
re-boil twice to remove any bicarbonate soda residue.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
This product requires very little maintenance.
However, if you live in a hard water area, it will be necessary to de-scale the kettle
from time to time. This is especially important on glass body kettles. Even a small
amount of lime scale can make the kettle look unsightly! Most supermarkets sell de-
scaling tablets, powders or liquids.
These are inexpensive, easy to use and perfect for ensuring your kettle provides many
years of faithful service. Simply follow the instructions on the packet.
An excessive build up of lime scale will damage your kettle
and increase the boiling time/electricity consumption. Your
warranty does not cover damage caused by excessive lime
scale build up.
If you live in a very hard water area, you might consider using filtered water.
For cleaning external surfaces, a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution
is all that is required.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR STRONG CHEMICAL CLEANERS DO NOT IMMERSE ANY
PART OF THE PRODUCT IN WATER
ALWAYS ENSURE THE PRODUCT IS UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY AND
COMPLETELY COOL BEFORE CLEANING.
