Let the kettle cool down before cleaning and storing away. 11 Check the lid is fully closed before switching the kettle on, otherwise it may not switch off. [. . . ] To turn the main element off manually, move the switch to 7, or simply lift the kettle off the stand and replace it. keeping warm 19 To keep the water warm after it has boiled, and shorten the boiling time when next you use the kettle, slide the keep warm switch towards the kettle. 21 It's best not to turn the keep warm function on after the water has boiled, or the water may not actually reach boiling point. 22 After use, you must turn the keep warm function off manually, by sliding the keep warm switch away from the kettle, towards the handle. 23 It won't turn itself off, even if there's no water in the kettle. , If you forget, and leave it on, it won't do any harm (except to your electricity bill), but the kettle will get hot ­ let it cool before filling, to avoid spitting. window glow ­ what the colours mean none blue red the kettle is cut off from the electricity supply the kettle and stand are powered, but the boil switch is off the boil switch is on, and the water is heating to boil check the water level 24 If you're using the keep warm function, check the water level every time you pour. 25 When the water level gets down to about 2 cups, top up the kettle, and boil it again. 26 Don't put the kettle back on the stand if it contains less than 2 cups of water. general 27 Remove the kettle from the stand before pouring. 28 To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don't over-tilt the kettle. 29 Don't tilt the kettle backwards, water might get on to the control area.

Don't worry ­ it's the steam used to switch off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents under the kettle. 31 You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, don't worry ­ it's due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor. insufficient water 32 Boiling with insufficient water will shorten the life of the main element. A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off. 33 To prevent the kettle cycling on and off, remove it from the stand, and sit it on the work surface till it's cold. 34 Don't fill the kettle till it's cold, or it may spit. care and maintenance 35 Unplug the stand from the wall socket, and let the kettle cool down before cleaning. 36 Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth. You may use a little household detergent, but if you do, rinse well to avoid tainting the water. 39 Don't put the kettle or stand in any liquid. 40 Don't use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents. descale regularly ­ even in soft water areas 41 Limescale may be white, coloured, even rusty-looking, but it's normally visible. 42 Phosphate scale isn't generally visible, but it's there, even in soft water areas.
