SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

Your Breville appliance is fitted with a short power supply cord to reduce personal injury or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping, or becoming entangled with a longer cord. If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table-top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally and (3) the extension cord must include a 3-prong grounding plug.

BREVILLE ASSIST® PLUG

Functions

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove any promotional material attached to your kettle. It is recommended that before first use, the kettle is filled to the maximum level with cold tap water, boiled, and the water discarded. Your kettle will only operate when positioned on the power base with the ‘On/Off’ switch in the ‘On’ position.

The kettle will automatically switch off once the water has boiled.

OPERATION OF YOUR KETTLE

To fill the kettle, remove it from the power base and open the lid by pressing the lid release button. Fill with the desired amount of water.

NOTE

Always fill the kettle between the minimum (500ml) and maximum (1700ml) marks on the water window. Too little water will result in the kettle switching off before the water has boiled. Filling above the maximum mark (MAX) may result in boiling water splashing from the kettle.

Ensure the lid is locked firmly into place. Position the kettle securely onto the power base. Insert the power plug into a 110/120V power outlet and switch on.

Press the ‘On/Off’ switch to the ‘On’ position for water to boil.

NOTE

This kettle must only be used with the power base supplied. Use caution when pouring water from your kettle, as boiling water will scald. Do not pour the water too quickly.

The kettle will automatically switch off once the water has boiled. Lift the kettle from the power base and pour the water. Take care to hold the kettle level, especially when filled to the maximum level. To re-boil, it may be necessary to wait for a few seconds to allow the control to reset.

If further heating of the kettle is not required, unplug the power cord and empty the water from the kettle. Replace the kettle onto the power base and close the lid.

SAFETY BOIL DRY PROTECTION

The kettle is fitted with a safety device, which protects against overheating should the appliance be operated with insufficient water. If this occurs, the kettle will stop heating. Allow the kettle to cool before refilling. Remove the kettle from the power base and add water. Return the kettle to the power base. The safety device will then automatically reset.

For additional safety, your kettle is fitted with an additional thermal cut-out. In the event of overheating, the kettle will automatically shut down to prevent further damage. Should this occur, take your kettle to an authorized Breville Service Centre.

Care & Cleaning

Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.

REMOVABLE FILTER

The kettle features a removable mesh filter to remove scale deposits for cleaner water. To remove the scale deposits from the filter, open the lid and slide the filter up and out of the kettle.

The filter can be cleaned by running it under hot water and rubbing it with a cleaning cloth or brush. To replace the filter, simply slide the filter down into the slot behind the spout of the kettle and push it back into position.

NOTE

The filter could become damaged with time. Please check regularly and replace if found damaged.

NOTE

The concealed element at the base of the kettle is made from high-quality stainless steel. Any brown stains appearing are the result of mineral deposits and are not rust.

REMOVAL OF MINERAL DEPOSITS

Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the kettle interior and water gauge to discolor over time.

Mineral deposits may be removed by using a proprietary kettle descaler available from most retailers.

Alternatively:

1. Fill the kettle until two-thirds full with 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water. Boil and allow to stand overnight.
2. Empty the solution from the kettle. Fill the kettle with clean water, bring to a boil, and discard the water. Repeat and the kettle will be ready for use.

TO CLEAN THE EXTERIOR

The outside of the kettle may be wiped over with a damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth.

NOTE

Do not use chemicals, alkaline cleaning agents, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the inside or outside of the kettle. Use a mild cleaning agent with a soft, damp cloth.
