to use your kettle
1 Fill the kettle through either the
spout or lid. To open the lid, push
the lid release and pull the lid back
ᕡ. The water level must be between
‘MAX’ and ‘MIN’.
●
Be economical: do not boil more
water than you need.
●
To improve the quality of your drinks
always use fresh water.
●
Empty the kettle after each use.
2 Check the lid is closed.
3 Plug in and switch on. The indicator
light will come on.
4Your kettle will boil and switch off
automatically. To re-boil, wait a few
seconds - the on/off switch needs
time to reset.
●
If you experience problems
with your kettle switching on
and off during use or
switching off before boiling,
check that the flat element is
free from scale - see
“descaling”.
●
Your kettle is fitted with a filter to
hold back limescale particles.
●
If you find drops of water under your
kettle, don’t worry - it is just
condensation.

If you switch on with too little water,
your kettle will cut out automatically.

and let it cool down.

or when descaling your kettle, drop
the filter in too. Rinse thoroughly.
4To re-fit the filter, hold the tab ᕣ.
Then slide the filter down into the

descaling
●
Regular descaling of the flat element
will improve the performance of your
kettle. If the kettle is not descaled
regularly the build up of limescale
may result in the following:
●
problems may be experienced
with the kettle switching on and
off during use or switching off
before boiling.
●
the kettle may take longer to boil.
●
the flat element may be damaged.
Please note: Failure to descale your
kettle may invalidate your guarantee.
●
When limescale starts to build up on
the heating element, buy a suitable
descaler and descale your kettle.
After descaling, boil with fresh water
several times and discard. Clean any
descaler off the kettle - it can
damage the parts.
●
Some regions of the country have
chalky water. This makes boiled
water look cloudy and leaves a
deposit on the side of the kettle. This
is normal but can be removed with
regular cleaning.
●
Alternatively, to reduce limescale
build up, use filtered water to fill your
kettle.

A range of Kenwood jug water filters
are available.
