Filling Your Kettle
- Ensure the kettle is unplugged. Remove the kettle from the Power Base. Pull the Knob up and towards the Handle to open the Lid. The Lid is hinged for easy opening and closing.
- If the Lid is too tight, try pushing in the pips on the inside of the Lid with a spoon handle. Pushing the Lid Pips back out will give a tighter fit.
- Fill the kettle through the Lid opening. Use at least one cup of water (250ml). The water level must stay below the ‘Max’ Mark Indicator. Save energy; only boil what you require. Keep the kettle upright and level at all times when filling (maximum 15o incline). Do not tilt the kettle backwards.
- When filling to ensure that water does not go down the Steam Tube, preventing the kettle from operating.

Boiling Water
- Place the kettle on the Power BasePlug the kettle into the power socket. Press the ‘On/Off’ switch down. The Power Neon will illuminate, and the kettle will start to heat up.

- The kettle will automatically turn off after the water has boiled, and the Power Neon will go out. To turn off before the water has boiled, lift the On/Off Switch.
- Remove the kettle from the Power Base. When filling or carrying the kettle, do not tilt it backwards, as this may allow water to pass through the Steam Tube onto the control area. Should this happen, the kettle must be allowed to dry before re-using. To avoid the risk of splashing, once the kettle has boiled, wait 10 seconds, then pour slowly. Do not over-tilt the kettle.
