OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE KETTLE FOR THE FIRST TIME Fill the kettle to the Max point, boil, discard the water, then rinse the kettle. Do this three times, to remove manufacturing dust, and other impurities. POSITIONING Place the kettle stand on a stable, level surface. Ensure that the cable is positioned so that it does not hang over the surface edge where it can be hooked or tripped over by persons walking past.
GENERAL Always remove the kettle from the stand before pouring. To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle. Do not tilt the kettle backwards; water might get on to the control area. If this happens, let the kettle dry thoroughly before use – place it somewhere warm for 12 hours. When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand.
Unplug the stand from the wall socket, and let the kettle cool down before cleaning. Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth. You may use a little household detergent, but if you do, rinse well to avoid tainting the water. Wipe the stand with a damp cloth. Keep all connectors and sockets dry. Do not immerse the kettle or kettle stand in liquid. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
Cleaning the filter: Check your hands are free from soap, or anything which might leave a taint. Remove the kettle from the stand. Remove the lid. Slide the filter up and out of the guides on either side of the spout. Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush. Rinse the kettle, in case scale particles have fallen inside. Slide the filter down into the guides.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised service agent, in order to avoid any hazard. If service becomes necessary within the warranty period, the appliance should be returned to an approved Home of Living Brands (Pty) Limited service centre. Servicing outside the warranty period is still available, but will, however, be chargeable. CHANGING THE PLUG Should the need arise to change the fitted plug, follow the instructions below.
