The filter automatically opens due to the pressure of the water during filling, and it closes when pouring in order to filter the water. 5 Do not fill with less than 0, 5 litre of water to prevent the kettle running dry while operating; misuse of this kind will shorten the life of the element. Do not fill with more than 2, 0 litres of water (up to the MAX indication located) (fig. If the kettle is overfilled, there is a risk that boiling water may spurt out and cause burns.

The kettle will automatically switch off once the water is boiled (the ON/OFF (I-O) switch will click upwards and the light will go out). · To turn the kettle off before the water boils, you may move the ON/OFF (I-O) switch to the OFF (O) position, or simply lift the kettle from its base - it will switch off and the switch will return to the OFF (O) position automatically. ON OFF 7 Pouring · Remove the kettle from the power base and carefully pour out the water. Do not tilt kettle suddenly or pour 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. This is condensation from the steam that causes the kettle to turn off automatically after 8 boiling. Steam is allowed to escape via vents in the underside of the kettle. Condensation on the base is perfectly normal, and should not be a cause for alarm. · A small amount of steam may also escape from the vents either side of the handle, at the top (fig. 8). SAFETY DEVICES 1) Automatic ON/OFF switch (I-O) Your kettle is fitted with an ON/OFF (I-O) switch which automatically 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 (I-O) switch in the ON (I) position or adjust the switch mechanism. 2) Safety cut-out If the kettle is switched ON (I) with too little or no water, it is protected against damage by a safety cut-out 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). 3) If kettle is lifted from base while operating, it will automatically switch off.
