USING AN EXTENSION CORD
A
The appliance is supplied with a short power cord in order
to minimise the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
B
You may use a detachable extension cord if care is exer-
cised in its use. Extension cords can be found in most
hardware stores.
C A long extension cord may only be used if, (1) the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord is at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the cord is a
grounded, 3-wire type cord, and (3) the longer cord is
arranged so that it doesn't drape over the table or counter
edge, children are unable to pull on the cord and it can
not be tripped over.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

SCALE FILTER
Scale, or calcium, is a natural substance that forms when
hard water is boiled. The filter serves to retain the calcium
in the water kettle.
CLEANING AND REMOVAL OF THE FILTER
It is important to clean the filter regularly. The filter clips
into the lid and can be removed by pulling it downwards
from the lid. It cam be cleaned by gentle brushing with a
soft brush under running water.
Remove scale using either a proprietary de-scaling product
suitable for plastic kettles (following the instructions care-
fully), or citrid acid.
We recommend using citric acid as follows:
Boil 1 litre of water, then unplug the kettle and stand it in
an empty sink or bowl. Add 50gm of citric acid crystals
gradually, then leave the kettle to stand.
As soon as the effervescence subsides, empty the kettle and
rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Wipe the outside of the
kettle thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove all traces of
citric acid which may damage the finish.
Do not use a more concentrated solution. Ensure that the
electrical connections are completely dry before using the
kettle. Citric acid crystals are available at most chemists.
Failure to de-scale may invalidate the guarantee.
