Do not immerse the kettle or power base in water or any other liquid. These items are not dishwasher safe. 2. F ill the electric kettle with fresh water to the "MAX" water level. Boil the water, following the directions below for use of your kettle. 3. W hen the water and unit have cooled, discard the water. Rinse with cold water and repeat. 4. Your electric kettle is now ready for use. USING YOUR ELECTRIC KETTLE 1. P osition the power base on a flat, heat resistant surface, as close as possible to a power outlet. 2. F ollow cord routing in power base according to exit patterns. Proper cord routing will result in the power base laying flat when kettle is placed in base. DO not operate kettle if power base is not flat. If power base is not flat, remove kettle from power base and repeat cord placement instructions. 3. T o fill with water, press the lid release button to open the lid. Fill the electric kettle with water to below the "MAX" water level mark. NOTE: Do not exceed the "MAX" water level mark indicated on the electric kettle. 4. P lug the electric cord into an electric outlet. Turn the switch ON by pushing down on the on/off switch. The indicator light and the bottom of the glass jar will illuminate to indicate the unit is on. The water will heat and the electric kettle will switch off automatically when the water boils. NOTE: Ensure the ON/OFF switch is clear of obstructions and the lid is firmly closed. The electric kettle will not turn off automatically if the ON/ OFF switch is constrained, or if the lid is left open. 6 BVSTKT7098_14ESM1.indd 6-7 5. Carefully lift the kettle from the power base and pour the hot water. 6. The kettle will not re-boil until the on/off switch is again switched ON. Wait 25 seconds, allowing kettle to cool down, then switch ON. IF THE KETTLE DOES BOIL DRY If the kettle is operated in accordance with instructions for use, it is unlikely that the kettle will boil dry. However, in the event that the kettle does boil dry, it is protected by a boil dry, fail-safe device which will switch the kettle off automatically on sensing a boil dry situation and keep it switched off until the kettle is refilled with at least the minimum amount of water. Always allow the kettle to cool for half an hour before reuse if the kettle has boiled dry. Filter instructions A mesh filter has been integrated into the kettle to reduce the amount of scale residues entering your beverages or food. The filter is removable for cleaning. To reduce scale build-up, empty out any residual water after boiling. How often the filter should be cleaned will vary according to where you live and how often you use your kettle. Filter should be cleaned whenever there are noticeable deposits left on the filter and especially if the rate of pouring decreases. Filter removal/cleaning/refitting Important: The kettle must be switched off, disconnected from the power outlet and allowed to cool down completely prior to removing or refitting the filter. Do not use excessive force, as this might damage the filter or the lid. 1. Empty the kettle and lift lid. 7 20/03/14 8:37 AM
