Kettle KBO3001
Switching on
• Plug the power base into the mains socket.
• Place the kettle on the power base.
• Press the ON/OFF switch down (fig.5) to switch the kettle on.
• The power-on indicator lights will illuminate.
• The kettle will automatically switch off once the water is boiled
(the ON/OFF switch will click upwards and the lights will
switch off ).
• To turn the kettle off before the water boils, you may move the
ON/OFF switch up to the OFF position, or simply lift the kettle
from its base - it will switch off and the switch will return to
the OFF position automatically.
Pouring
• Remove the kettle from the power base and carefully pour out
the water. Do not tilt the kettle suddenly or pour water out at
too sharp an angle.
• When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see moisture
on the top surface of the base. Condensation on the base is
perfectly normal, and should not be a cause for alarm.
Safety devices
1) Automatic ON/OFF switch
Your kettle is fitted with an ON/OFF switch which automatical-
ly switches off once the water has boiled. If the kettle has just
boiled, wait a minute or so before re-boiling the kettle. Do not
attempt to hold the ON/OFF switch in the “on” position or
adjust the switch mechanism.
2) Safety cut-out
If the kettle is switched ON with too little or no water, it is
protected against damage by a safety cut-out device which will
switch off the power.
If this cut-out operates, disconnect the kettle from the mains
supply and leave to cool down before refilling with cold water
(otherwise the element could be damaged). It will reset auto-
matically when cooled down.
3) If the kettle is lifted from base while operating (ON), it will
automatically switch off.
