ANTI-SCALE MESH FILTER
Scale is caused by lime and calcium in hard water. The mesh filter will prevent these sus-
pended particles from being poured out of the kettle. The filter should be cleaned
periodically to ensure optimum performance. To clean the filter, unplug kettle and allow
to cool. The mesh filter may be removed by pressing inward through the spout with a
finger. Rinse filter under running water and brush with a soft brush. An old, clean tooth-
brush works well.

USING YOUR ELECTRIC KETTLE
BEFORE FIRST USE: Fill kettle to MAX indicator on water level window and bring to a
boil until kettle shuts off automatically. Discard water and repeat. Rinse out kettle 2 or 3
times. The kettle is now ready for use.
1. Remove from power base before filling.
2. Fill kettle with required amount of water. Ensure that water level is between MIN and
MAX on the water level indicator. If using the mesh filter, it must be in place.
WARNING: If kettle is overfilled there is a risk that boiling water may spit out of the
spout.
3. Make sure that the lid is in place and the power base is on
a level surface. If lid is not in place, auto shut-off will not operate.
4. Plug into outlet and turn on ( l).
5. The kettle will switch off (O) automatically when the water has boiled. (Remember,
the surface of the kettle gets hot; take care–only grip the kettle by the handle).
6. After use, unplug kettle and empty.
NOTE: Use water only in the kettle. If used for foods or beverage such as tea or coffee,
the warranty will be voided.
IF HEATING ELEMENT DISCOLORS
It is normal for stainless steel heating elements to discolor. This does not affect the
performance of the kettle. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners as this may
damage the stainless steel surface.
CORDLESS KETTLE
Your cordless kettle has the power supply connected to the power base, eliminating the
need to plug and unplug the cord from the electrical outlet. However, it is always a
good safety practice to unplug the power base when not in use.
• For general operation see “Using Your Electric Kettle.”
• After filling the kettle with water, it should be placed on the base so that it is correctly
engaged.
• After use, the kettle may be left on the base but we recommend you unplug the cord
from the outlet.

IF YOUR KETTLE BOILS DRY
The heating element is protected by two automatic safety devices. If your kettle is acci-
dentally switched on without being filled with water, or is allowed to boil dry, the kettle
will automatically switch off. You should:
1. Turn the kettle OFF, unplug the kettle and wait about 20 minutes for the element to
cool down.
2. Refill the kettle, then use as normal and check that the
kettle functions correctly.
IF YOUR KETTLE DOES NOT WORK
Make these simple checks before calling the toll-free customer assistance number:
• Have you switched the power switch button to ON (l) position?
• If the kettle heats but does not boil, it might need descaling.
• Has the kettle been accidentally switched on without being
filled with water or allowed to boil dry? Turn the kettle OFF, wait 20 minutes and try
again.
• Is the kettle cord firmly plugged into the outlet and the kettle firmly seated in the base?
CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
1. With kettle unplugged, empty any remaining water and rinse. Allow kettle to cool. The
mesh filter may be removed by pressing inward through the spout with a finger. The
filter will drop into kettle cavity.
To insert the filter into the spout, position the filter with tabs toward spout and press
filter until it fits into place.
2. To avoid scale/lime deposit build-up, empty kettle after each use.
3. Wipe the exterior of kettle with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or
powders as they may scratch the smooth surface of the kettle.
NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
