SWITCHING OFF

• To switch off manually, either lift the ON/OFF switch or, lifting the kettle from the base will
cause the ON/OFF switch to pop up automatically.
GENERAL
• Remove the kettle from the base before pouring.
• To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.
• Do not tilt the kettle backwards as water may seep into the control area.
• If this happens, empty any remaining water and allow the kettle to dry before further use –
place it in a warm, dry location for at least 12 hours.
• When you lift the kettle, you may see a little moisture on the base. This is the steam used
to switch the kettle off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents under
the kettle. This is normal.
• Always switch off and disconnect the appliance from the wall power outlet when not in
use.

• Do not ll the kettle with water until it is cold, or it may spit.
