It is recommended that you boil the kettle several times following
the below instructions and discard the water before first use. This
will remove any loose dust or materials that may have remained
from the manufacturing process.
Open the lid and fill with water. Fill to the required level and close
the lid.We recommend you fill to the maximum line for first use and
discard the water as suggested above.
Always fill the kettle between the MIN and MAX lines. If you fill
below the MIN line the kettle may run dry and you may damage the
heating element. Do not fill below the MIN line.
If the kettle runs dry the safety cut-out will operate and the power
will be removed from the element to prevent possible damage. To
reset, allow the kettle to cool down or carefully add water. If you fill
above the MAX line, then boiling water may be ejected from the
spout. Do not fill above the MAX line.
Insert the mains plug into a suitable 13 Amp mains socket.
Make sure the kettle is securely on the base. Press the power switch
downwards to the ‘on’ position (I). The power light will illuminate.
When the water has boiled the kettle will switch off automatically.
Avoid lifting the kettle from the base when it’s boiling.
If the water needs to be reheated, allow to cool down before
switching back on.
