PARTS DIAGRAM

BEFORE USING THE KETTLE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Carefully remove your kettle from the box. You may wish to retain the packaging for

further use.

Before first use, fill the kettle with cold water to the MAX water level mark, bring to boil

and discard the boiling water –do this twice. This will ensure that any residues left over

from the manufacturing process are completely removed.

POSITIONING

POSITIONING THE KETTLE

Position the power base on a dry flat surface away from any potential heat

source.

Unwind the length of the mains cable required to reach the mains socket.

Ensure the mains cable does not hang over the work surface edge.

FILLING THE KETTLE

Remove the kettle from the power base.

Open the lid.

Fill the kettle between the MIN and MAX markings on the water level indicator

with cold water.

Close the lid and place the kettle back on the power base. Make sure the lid is

securely closed before boiling.

Always remove the kettle from the power base before filling. Do not fill the kettle

above the MAX mark or below the MIN mark on the water gauge.

SWITCHING ON

Position the kettle on the power base.

Plug the kettle into a mains supply socket.

To start boiling the kettle, press the on/off switch.

The power indicator light will illuminate and the kettle will start to boil.

Never open the lid or touch the stainless steel surface during boiling.

Do not operate this kettle without the filter fitted.

Please beware of escaping steam from the lid of the kettle when in use.

SWITCHING OFF

When the water has boiled, the kettle will switch off automatically. You can stop

the boiling process at any time by lifting the on/off switch to the “0” (off) position

or lifting the kettle off the base.

BOIL-DRY PROTECTION

Should you accidentally switch on an empty kettle - the boil-dry protection will

automatically switch off the power. If this occurs, allow the kettle to cool down

before filling with cold water.

GENERAL

Always remove the kettle from the base before pouring.

To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.

Do not tilt the kettle backwards - water might get on to the control area. If this

happens, let the kettle dry thoroughly before use –place it somewhere warm for

12 hours.

When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the base. Do not worry –it’s

the steam used to switch the kettle off automatically, which then condenses and

escapes via vents under the kettle.

You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, do not worry –

it is due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

This appliance is for household use only and is not user-serviceable.

Do not open or change any parts by yourself. Please refer to a qualified electrical

service department or return to the supplier if servicing is necessary.

Always remember to unplug the unit from the electrical outlet when not in use

and before cleaning.

Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid, or hold it under a

running tap to clean.

To remove stubborn spots/marks, wipe the surfaces with a cloth slightly

dampened in soapy water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry with a

clean, dry, soft cloth.

Unplug the base from the wall socket, and let the kettle cool down before

cleaning.

Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth. You may use a little household

detergent, but if you do, rinse well to avoid tainting the water.

Wipe the base with a damp cloth.

Keep all connectors and sockets dry.

Do not immerse the kettle or kettle stand in liquid.

Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

We recommend that you descale your kettle regularly, even in soft water areas. Lime

scale may be white, coloured, or even rusty-looking, but it is normally visible. Phosphate

scale is not generally visible, but there is always a build-up, even in soft water areas.

Any build-up of scale causes overheating, which reduces the life of the element, and

may trigger the boil-dry cut-out to engage. So, even in a soft water area, descale at least

monthly, to help keep your kettle in working order.

To descale your kettle:

Use a descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts). Follow

the instructions on the descaler, then rinse several times, fill, boil and discard the

water, to remove all chemical residues.

Products returned under guarantee with faults related to scale will be subject to a

repair charge.

If you notice your kettle getting noisier –descale it.

Do not rely on visible scale, as phosphate scale is not visible. Rather descale the

kettle for preventative purposes.

Do not try to move or remove the diffuser –you will break it.

Water filter:

Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy

appearance.

The filter will prevent these particles going into your drink. If you see deposits on

the filter, clean it, otherwise the performance of your kettle will drop, your drinks

may contain scale, and the water inside the kettle may look cloudy.

Cleaning the filter:

The filter is located inside the kettle behind the spout.

With the lid open, gently pull the filter out of its retaining slot.

Lift the filter out of the kettle.

Rinse the filter in warm water and gently remove any scale with a soft brush.

To replace the filter, slide it down into its slot until it clicks into place.

Removing mineral deposits

Decalcification refers to removing the calcium deposits which may form on the

interior metal parts of the kettle.

To get the best performance from your kettle, descale your kettle from time to

time. Frequency depends on the hardness of your tap water and how often you

use the kettle.

We suggest use of a kettle descaler in order to dissolve chalky deposits or scale.

Follow the directions on the descaler package. If a commercial descaler is not

available, fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about

1.5cm. Bring the vinegar to a boil. You may need to repeat this several times with

cooled vinegar to remove the calcium build-up completely. When the descaling

process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse out several times with clean

water.

STORING THE APPLIANCE

Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and clean all the parts as instructed

above. Ensure that all parts are dry before storing.

Store the appliance in its box or in a clean, dry place.

Never store the appliance while it is still wet or dirty.

Never wrap the power cord around the appliance.

SERVICING THE APPLIANCE

problem and you need to return the appliance, make sure that:

The unit is packed carefully back into its original packaging.

Proof of purchase is attached.

A reason is provided for why it is being returned.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised

service agent, in order to avoid any hazard. If service becomes necessary within the

warranty period, the appliance should be returned to an approved Home of Living

Brands (Pty) Limited service centre. Servicing outside the warranty period is still

available, but will, however, be chargeable.
