This is the only way to ensure optimum results and maximum safety. Using for the first time • Before use, check that the appliance has not been damaged during transport. • Remove all packaging from the kettle and power base. • Remove any labels from the outer surfaces. • Remove the filter by pushing as shown in fig. 1 and wash with water (fig. 2). Refer to page 5.“Removing the scale filter” • Fill the kettle and boil. • The boiled water should be discarded and the kettle rinsed out with cold water.This procedure should be carried out three times, to remove any manufacturing dust, etc. •After the kettle has been rinsed out, re-fit the filter (fig. 3). Using the kettle With the specially designed power base and central connector, you can now set the kettle on the base at any angle, from any position. • Release cord from storage base and adjust length by winding around the base to give the correct cord length to reach the plug socket to be used (fig. 4). • Do not leave loose cord hanging over the edge of work surfaces. Filling • Remove the kettle from the base unit before filling. • Open lid and fill kettle to desired level. Do not fill with less than 0,8 litre of water to prevent the kettle running dry while operating; misuse of this kind will shorten the life of the element. Do not fill with more than 1,5 litres of water (up to the MAX indication located inside the kettle) (fig. 5). If the kettle is overfilled, there is a risk that boiling water may be ejected causing burns. A handy water level viewer enables you to see the quantity of water in the kettle. a c b 1 2 Fig.1 fig.2 CORD EXIT Fig.3 Fig.4 Fig.5 1,5 l Max 0,8 l Min 3 Kettle KBP3010 KBP3010 15-06-2004 12:02 Pagina 4 I 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 indicator light around the ON/OFF switch will come 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). Fig.6 •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 the kettle suddenly or pour water 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 boiling. 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 automatically 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 the kettle is lifted from base while operating (ON), it will automatically switch off. 4 Kettle KBP3010 KBP3010 15-06-2004 12:02 Pagina 5 Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning the kettle • Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the appliance from the mains before cleaning. • Do not immerse the kettle or base in water. • Use a soft dampened cloth to wipe the outside of the kettle and dry with a soft, dry cloth. • DO NOT use harsh scouring agents. • Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry. Scale Scale is mainly calcium carbonate (chalk), a harmless, naturally occurring mineral found in most water supplies.“Hard” water contains more of this mineral than “soft” water. When the water is heated, the minerals in the water solidify, making the water appear cloudy. These minerals form a thin film on the walls, element and on the surface of the water.The water may look like it has white coloured pieces of plastic floating on the surface. On traditional kettle elements, scale forms a hard white “crust” which adversely affects performance and reduces the life of the element. As soon as you notice a film forming on the water, or, when cleaning the filter, if you notice a film on the walls or the element, simply rinse the kettle and wipe it out. Scale filter Your kettle is fitted with a scale filter to prevent loose particles of scale being poured into your beverage.This filter is both removable and washable. The frequency with which you will need to clean any scale deposits from your filter will depend on the hardness of water in ...
