Specifications

Product Overview

The kettle features a spout at the front, a lid at the top with a lid release button, and a handle on the right side. An on/off switch is located at the base of the handle. A water window displays the fill level with markings for MIN, 0.5L, 1.0L, 1.5L, and MAX 1.7L. The main body is the housing, and it sits on a power base.

Before First Use

1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Check that all accessories are complete and the appliance is not damaged.
3. Clean all parts to remove any dust or manufacturing residue.
4. If you are using the kettle for the first time, it is recommended that you should clean your kettle before use by boiling the Max capacity of water and then discarding the water twice. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth.

NOTE: The maximum capacity of this kettle is 1.7L.

Using Your Kettle

1. Place the kettle on a flat surface.
2. To fill the kettle, remove it from the power base and open the lid by pressing down the lid release button.
3. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water and close the lid. The water level must be within the Min and the Max level. Too little water will cause the kettle to switch off before the water has boiled.
4. WARNING: Do NOT fill the water above the maximum level, as water may spill out of the spout when boiling. Ensure that the lid is firmly in place before plugging into the power outlet.
5. Position the kettle on the power base and connect the plug into a power outlet.
6. Press down the on/off switch and the indicator will illuminate, then the kettle starts to boil the water. The kettle will switch off automatically once the water has boiled. If necessary, wait 30 seconds before pressing the switch again to re-boil the water. You may shut off the power by lifting the on/off switch up or directly lifting the kettle from the power base at any moment to stop the boiling process.
7. NOTE: Ensure that the on/off switch is free from obstructions and the lid is firmly closed; the kettle will not turn off if the switch is obstructed or if the lid is open.
8. Carefully lift the kettle from the power base and then pour the water out slowly.
9. NOTE: Should you accidentally let the kettle operate without water, the boil-dry protection function will automatically switch off the power. If this occurs, allow the kettle to cool prior to filling with cold water before re-boiling.

Decalcification

Minerals like calcium and limestone can be found in water and may leave deposits in the appliance and can affect its performance. Decalcifying the appliance is an important part of ensuring your drinks always tastes great! Morphy Richards recommends decalcifying the appliance periodically to keep it at peak performance following the steps below or using a commercially available descaler and follow the instructions on the package.

1. Fill the kettle with 3 cups of white vinegar, then add water to cover the bottom of the kettle completely.
2. Leave the solution in the kettle overnight.
3. Discard the mixture in the kettle, and fill the kettle with clean water to the maximum position, boil and discard the water.
4. Repeat several times until the odour of vinegar has been removed. Any stains remaining inside the spout can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth.

Care & Cleaning

1. Always disconnect the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.
2. Never immerse the kettle, power cord or power base in water, or allow moisture to come in contact with these parts.
3. Wipe the appearance of the kettle body with a damp cloth or cleaner, never use an abrasive cleaner.
4. Clean the filter regularly. Detach the filter by pressing down the filter tab inside the kettle and replace it after cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use chemical, steel, wooden or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside body of the kettle.
