Location
- This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as: farm houses; by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments; bed and breakfast type environments. It is not suitable for use in staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments.
- Always locate your appliance away from the edge of the worktop.
- Ensure that the appliance is used on a firm, flat surface.
- Do not use the appliance outdoors or near water.
WARNING: Do not place the appliance on a metal tray or metal surface while in use.
Mains Cable
- Do not let the mains cable hang over the edge of the worktop where a child could reach it.
- Do not let the mains cable run across an open space e.g. between a low socket and a table.
- Do not let the mains cable run across a cooker or other hot area which might damage the cable.
- The mains cable should reach from the socket to the base unit without straining the connections.
- If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Personal Safety
- WARNING: To protect against fire, electric shock and personal injury do not immerse cord, plug and appliance in water or any other liquid.
- Always keep the top of the cordless base dry, especially around the connection area. Disconnect the power supply before drying. Allow to dry thoroughly before reconnection to the power supply.
- Do not fill above the MAX mark, otherwise boiling water may be ejected.
- Always pour hot water slowly and carefully without tipping the appliance too fast to prevent splashing and spillage.
- WARNING: Do not open the lid whilst the water is boiling.
- Do not hold the switch in the on position or tamper with the switch to fix it in the on position as this may cause damage to the switch-off mechanism.
- Unplug from the outlet before cleaning.
- Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
- Do not move the kettle while switched on.
Other Safety Considerations
- The use of attachments or tools not recommended or sold by Morphy Richards may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
- The kettle is only to be used with the stand provided.
- Do not use the appliance for any use other than to boil water.
- Do not place the appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
- The appliance must not be on the base unit when being filled with water.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use.
- WARNING: The appliance must not be immersed for cleaning.
- CAUTION: To prevent damage to the appliance, do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning. Use a soft cloth and detergent.
Electrical Requirements
- Check that the voltage on the rating plate of your appliance corresponds with your house electricity supply which must be A.C. (Alternating Current).
- WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
Operation
Filling the Kettle
- Wherever possible, fill through the spout, as this helps to free the filter from limescale build-up. The integrated water level indicator allows you to easily see the amount of water in the kettle. Always ensure that the level of water in the kettle is filled to at least the minimum level shown on the water gauge.
- Place the kettle on the base unit, ensuring the kettle locates onto the 360° connector. The 360° connector allows the kettle to be located at any position. Ideal for left and right handed users and for convenient positioning on the worktop.
- Plug in and switch on at the wall socket.
- Switch the kettle on. The 'power on' light will illuminate.
- Fast boil kettles perform differently; if your kettle is a fast boil model, it may sound louder during boiling, and switch off suddenly with no after noise – this is normal.
- When the water boils, the kettle will switch off automatically. If you are using the kettle for the first time, pour away the boiled water and refill.
- Lift the kettle from the base unit by the handle, ensuring you hold the kettle level. To re-boil, switch ON again. If the kettle has just switched off, wait a minute or two before switching it back on again. If you do not put in enough water, or switch on the kettle when it is empty, the safety cut-out will switch off the power automatically. If this happens, refill and wait a few minutes for the element to cool, then use as normal.
Whistle Feature
There is a switch on the cordless base of the product that can switch the whistle on and off as desired. Refer to page 2 for its location.
Filter Removal
- Open the lid.
- Lift the filter upwards from its holder.
- To refit the filter, slide it into the side wall guides of the filter holder until it clicks into place.
WARNING: Unless the filter is fitted correctly, the kettle lid may not close and lock securely.
Maintenance
Descaling
IMPORTANT: As this kettle is fitted with a concealed element, it must be descaled regularly. The frequency of descaling depends on usage and the hardness of the water in your area.
Excessive scale can cause the kettle to switch off before boiling and may damage the element, invalidating the warranty. It is essential that regular descaling takes place.
Remove hard scale using a proprietary descaling product suitable for stainless steel kettles.
Alternatively, use citric acid crystals (available from most pharmacies) as follows:
- Fill the kettle 3/4 full, boil, then unplug the kettle (remove the cordless kettle from the base unit) and stand it in an empty sink or bowl.
- Add 50gm of citric acid crystals to the water gradually, then leave the kettle to stand. Do not use a more concentrated solution.
- As soon as the effervescence subsides, empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly with cold water.
- Wipe the outside of the kettle thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove all traces of acid which may damage the finish.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the electrical connections are completely dry before using the kettle.
Cleaning
WARNING: Always disconnect the plug from the mains and allow the kettle to cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the appliance, do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning. Use a soft cloth and a mild detergent.
Wipe the outside with a damp cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive cleaners on the outside of the kettle, which may scratch the surface.
