• Use the kettle only with the power
base supplied and vice versa
• The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Dualit may result in
fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
• A short power-supply cord is to be
provided to reduce risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord.
• Longer extension cords may be used if
care is exercised in their use.
• If a long extension cord is used,
11.. The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance,
22..The appliance is of the grounded
type, the extension cord should be
a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
33.. The longer cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped
over.
• 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 cord set available
from Dualit’s Customer Helpline on
+44 (0)1293 652 500.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
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 ‘max’ mark and boil, then
discard the boiled water and rinse the kettle
out with fresh cold water.
Connecting to the mains supply
• Check that the voltage marked on the
appliance corresponds with the supply
voltage
• NOTE:any plug cut from the
power supply cord should be
disposed of immediately.
Inserting any cut off plug into a
13A socket-outlet is hazardous3
• Never use the plug without the fuse
cover fitted. Ensure replacement fuse is
the same current value as the original.
Replacement fuses are available and
should be ASTA approved to BS 1362
• NOTE: when you lift the kettle from
the base, you will see drops of
moisture on the surface of the power
base.This is the steam used to switch
the kettle off automatically, which then
condenses and escapes through vents
in the underside of the kettle.
This is perfectly normal, and should not
be cause for alarm or returning the
kettle.
In the interest of improving products, Dualit Ltd. reserves the
right to change the product specification without prior notice.

• 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 re-using
• To avoid the risk of splashing, once the kettle has
boiled wait 10 seconds then pour slowly. Do not
over-tilt the kettle.

MINIMISING SCALE BUILD UP
Follow these few simple steps to minimise scale build up in you kettle.
• Empty the kettle after each use; do not allow water to
stand in the kettle overnight
• Use filtered water instead of tap water
• Descale the kettle regularly, at least once a month, using
a proprietary brand of descaler. In areas of very hard
water descaling may be necessary more often
• When descaling has finished, empty the kettle and rinse
it out numerous times with fresh water, then refill with
fresh water, boil, then discard boiled water.
If the kettle is not working correctly, check that:
• You have followed the instructions correctly
• The plug fuse has not blown
• The mains supply/fuse/circuit breaker has not
blown/tripped
• If the powercord is damaged it must be replaced by a
special cord set available from Dualit.This part should
only be refitted by a competent electrician.
AFTER SALES SERVICE
Check the following if your kettle is not working before contacting place of
purchase or Dualit Ltd.
• Scale build-up will cause the element to overheat,
reducing its working life. It may also cause the safety
cut-out to operate prematurely, switching the kettle off
before the water actually boils
• As the kettle uses an under-floor type element, lime
scale can only build up on the walls and floor of the
kettle.This is readily seen and should be dealt with
promptly
• Use descaling products suitable for kitchen appliances,
these are readily available online or from most
supermarkets or department stores. Use as per
instructions on the packet.
DESCALING
Regular descaling is essential to keep you kettle in good working order.
