Due to our policy of continuous improvement, the actual product may differ slightly from the one illustrated in these instructions.
Remove any packaging and promotional material from your kettle and position it on a stable, secure, dry and level work surface away from the edge.
Before connecting to a power source, make sure your mains supply voltage is the same as the one indicated on the appliance. Connect the plug to a suitable power outlet and make sure that the power cord does not overhang the work surface. Excess power cord can be stored in the power base.
Remove the kettle from the power base and open the lid. Fill your kettle to the maximum mark and close the lid.
Place the kettle back onto the power base. Switch the kettle on, allow it to boil then discard the water. Repeat twice. This will remove any residue left over from the manufacturing process.
If this kettle is filled above the maximum level mark, hot water may be ejected from the spout during boiling. Beware of steam coming from the spout or lid especially during refilling. Never open the lid when the kettle is boiling.
