Switching on
•Plug the power base into the mains socket.
• Place kettle on power base.
•Press the ON/OFF switch down (fig. 6) to switch the kettle on.
• The pilot light will switch on.
• The kettle will automatically switch off once the water is boiled
(the ON/OFF switch will click upwards and the light will go
out).
•To turn the kettle off before the water boils, you may move the
ON/OFF switch up to the OFF position, or simply lift the kettle
from its base - it will switch off and the switch will return to
the OFF position automatically.
Pouring
• Remove the kettle from the power base and carefully pour out
the water. Do not tilt kettle suddenly or pour out at too sharp
an angle.
• When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see moisture
on the top surface of the base.This is condensation from the
steam that causes the kettle to turn off automatically after boil-
ing. Steam is allowed to escape via vents in the underside of the
kettle. Condensation on the base is perfectly normal, and should
not be a cause for alarm.
Safety devices
1) Automatic ON/OFF switch
Your kettle is fitted with an ON/OFF switch which automatical-
ly switches off once the water has boiled. If the kettle has just
boiled, wait a minute or so before re-boiling the kettle. Do not
attempt to hold the ON/OFF switch in the on position or
adjust the switch mechanism.
2) Safety cut-out
If the kettle is switched ON with too little or no water, it is
protected against damage by a safety cut-out which will switch
off the power.
If this cut-out operates, disconnect the kettle from the mains
supply and leave to cool down before refilling with cold water
(otherwise the element could be damaged).
3) If kettle is lifted from base while operating (ON), it will auto-
matically switch off.
