Electrical Requirements

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into an earthed outlet. Do not remove earth prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Power: 2000-2400 W

Voltage: 220-240 VAC

Frequency: 50-60 Hz

NOTE: The Water Kettle has a earthed plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in an outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance. A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used.

If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• If the appliance is of the earthed type, the extension cord should be a earthing type.
• The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table-top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Inserting and Removing the Filter

Inserting the filter: The filter is located behind the Spout inside the Water Kettle. Open the Lid. Slide the filter down into the slot behind the Spout.

Removing the filter: Open the Lid. Grasp the top of the filter, behind the Spout, and pull out to remove.

Descaling the Water Kettle

Calcium deposits may form on the interior metal parts of the Water Kettle. To get the best performance from the Water Kettle, clean periodically. The cleaning interval will depend on the hardness of the water put into the Water Kettle. The use of a commercial descaler is recommended.

2. Add water to the 1 L mark.
