1.   Do not fill past the maximum level as marked on the outside body of the kettle or the water may flow down the steam hole.

2.   Do not switch the kettle on with less than the minimum amount.

Proper way to boil water using an Electric Kettle:

1.   Pour the desired amount of water into the kettle.

2. Ensure that the lids are properly closed. The operation of automatic cut-out depends on the lids being closed.

How to Clean an Electric Kettle?

1.   To clean inside of an electric kettle, fill the kettle with water then add 2 ml of white vinegar and boil.

2.   Never immerse the electric kettle or power base in water, or allow water to come into contact with the terminal pins.

3.   If the kettle should be accidentally switched on without water, an automatic safety cut-off will switch off the kettle.

When it has cooled the cut-off will reset and the kettle may be filled with water ready for use.
