Using your Aquella Kettle
Before using your kettle.
6.Lift the kettle from the power base and
pour the water.
It is recommended that you clean your kettle
before use by filling the kettle with water,
up to the maximum level indicator, boil and
discard.
NOTE: Use caution when pouring the water
from your kettle, as boiling water will
scald.
7.The kettle may be stored on the power

be filled through the pouring spout.
NOTE: Ensure the power is turned off at the
power outlet when the kettle is not in use.
2.Fill the kettle with the desired amount of
water. Always fill the kettle between the
minimum and maximum marks. Too little
water will result in the kettle switching off
before the water has boiled.
Should you accidentally allow the kettle to
operate without water, boil-dry protection
will automatically switch it off. If this
occurs, allow the kettle to cool before
filling with cold water and re-boiling.
NOTE: Do not fill the kettle over the
maximum level, as water may spill out of
the spout when boiling.

cord around the storage facility underneath
the power base.

top of the handgrip. The power indicator
light will illuminate to indicate the kettle
is heating. The kettle will switch off
automatically once the water has boiled.
NOTE: Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is
clear of obstructions and the lid is firmly
closed. The kettle will not turn off if the
ON/OFF switch is constrained or if the lid
is left open. Do not remove the kettle from
the power base while in use.
