Product Usage Instructions

   the lid button. Fill to the required level using the graduated
   markings on the clear panel as a guide. Do not fill past the
   maximum (1.7 litre / 7 cups) or below the minimum (0.5 litre / 2
   cups) level.
4. Close the lid fully (it clicks as it closes) and ensure that
   the switch is in the off position (lift switch up) before replacing
   on the stand.
5. Turn the kettle so that the spout faces away from you and
   switch the kettle on by pressing the switch downwards. The kettle
   will start to operate and the orange power indicator lamp in the
   switch will illuminate.
6. When the water boils, the kettle will switch off automatically
   and the lights will go off.
7. To stop or interrupt the boiling process, switch the appliance
   off by lifting the switch up before removing the kettle from the
   stand.

Cleaning Instructions

1. Switch off, unplug the kettle and allow it to cool
   completely.
2. Press the lid button to open the lid and slide out the
   filter.
3. Clean the filter under a running tap while gently brushing with
   a soft nylon brush to remove the scale.
4. Descaling options:
   • Use a proprietary descaler suitable for kettles and follow the
     instructions on the pack.
   • Alternatively, half fill the kettle with water and add the
     juice of one lemon. Boil the kettle and allow it to stand for 15
     minutes. Repeat this step two more times before discarding the
     solution.
5. After descaling, fill the kettle to the maximum level, bring to
   a boil, and then discard the water.
6. Refit the filter by sliding it back into the groove.
7. Wipe external surfaces with a soft damp cloth; do not use
   detergents or abrasives as these may scratch the surface.
