• Position the power base as close to
a wall socket as possible. Locate
the mains cable so that it does not
overhang the work surface, and
cannot be caught accidentally.
Shorten the mains lead by winding
it around the cord storage area
under the power base, and bring it
out of the cord exit in the base.

• Remove the kettle from the power
base. If the switch has been
pushed down inadvertently, it will
spring up into the “off” position.
• Hold the kettle handle firmly in one
hand, hold the lid knob in the other,
and pull the lid straight up. As soon
as it separates from the kettle,
move it out of the rising steam.

• Open the lid and fill the kettle
via the lid aperture. Not through
the spout.
• Observe water level when filling,
you must use at least one cup of
water, but the water level must be
below the Max mark.
• Do not overfill the kettle. If the
kettle is overfilled, there is a risk
that boiling water may be ejected
from the spout and lid.
• Use the kettle only with the power
base supplied and vice versa.
• Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged lead or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner.
If the mains lead is damaged, it must
be replaced by a special cordset
available from Dualit helpline:

• Remove all packaging from the kettle
and its power base. Before using the
kettle for the first time, or if it has been
out of use for a long time, fill to the

boiled water and rinse the kettle out
with fresh cold water.

• Never use the plug without the
fuse cover fitted. Ensure replacement
fuse is the same current value as
original.
• Remove the kettle from the power
base before attempting to pour.
• When filling or carrying the kettle,
do not tilt it backwards, as this may
allow water to pass through the
steam tube onto the control area.
Should this happen, the kettle must
be allowed to dry before reuse.
• To avoid the risk of splashing, pour
ssllo ow wllyy and do not over-tilt the kettle.

• Do not switch the kettle on unless it
contains at least one cup of water.
Misuse of this kind will shorten the
life of the kettle.
• If the kettle is accidentally switched
on when it does not contain
sufficient water, a boil-dry device
will automatically switch it off.
Wait until the kettle has cooled
down before refilling. The lid may
be hot and the water may spit as it
touches the kettle base.
• Replace the lid and ensure it is
firmly in place. Check that it is
fully closed, otherwise the kettle
may not switch off when boiling.

• Check that the switch is in the
“Off” position (lift the kettle
from the power base and set it
down again taking care not to
spill any water). The switch will
only operate when the kettle is
correctly fitted onto the base.
• Plug the power base into the
wall socket. If necessary, switch
on the wall socket.
• Press the switch down. The neon
light will light up and the kettle
will start to heat up.
• When the water has boiled the
kettle will automatically switch off,
the switch will return to the “Off”
position and the neon light will
go out.
