UK - Amphora electric kettle
Instructions
The kettle must be placed on the base with the button
above the cord. Keep the cord as short as possible. Any
excess cord should be rolled up under the base. The
electric kettle is stabilized when filled with water.
IMPORTANT: Before filling the kettle with water, remove
from base. Only fill up to the steel jug's MAX mark on 1.2 L
(see image 1) and push the lid firmly in place.
WARNING: If the electric kettle is filled above the MAX
mark see image 1), boiling water may spray out of the
kettle when in use.
The firstrsttime the electric kettle is used, water should
be boiled three times in the kettle before drinking. This
ensures that any minor impurities from production are
removed.
The electric kettle is switched on using the on/off switch
under the handle (see image 1).
When the water boils (100 °C), the electric kettle auto-
matically switches off and the light goes off. To boil more
water, the switch needs to be switched on again. The
automatic dry-boil protection prevents accidental boiling
when the steel jug is placed back on the base after pour-
ing. Always unplug when the kettle is not in use.
IMPORTANT: Always check the lid is securely in place be-
fore switching the kettle on. The lid will click when pressed
into place. If the lid is not clicked into place, the kettle's
automatic dry-boil protection will not work optimally. The
kettle must not be used without a lid as there is a risk of
boiling water spraying out. Should any irregularities occur
with the dry-boil protection, such as the kettle switching
off before reaching 100 °C or after, leave the kettle to
cool; see section on maintenance.
Dry-boil protection
The electric kettle has an inbuilt dry-boil protection,
which means the heat element disconnects automati-
cally if the kettle has limescale, if it is switched on without
water in it, or if it boils dry. Should this happen, check
whether there is a build-up of limescale at the bottom of
the kettle and then descale as required. Test the kettle
by filling with water and plugging the apparatus in. If the
electric kettle continues to disconnect before boiling
point, take the kettle and base to the dealer you bought
it from for an inspection.
Maintenance
Descaling the filter
The electric kettle is supplied with a removable limescale
filter, which is placed in the spout. The filter prevents limes-
cale sediment in the water from pouring into the cup. It
is important to clean the limescale filter before too much
limescale builds up as otherwise the water cannot pass
through the filter and will instead pour out along the sides
of the lid, which increases the risk of scolding.
The filter is easily removed from the steel jug by pulling it
upwards. Any limescale on the filter can be brushed off
under running water with a washing-up brush or cloth.
Alternatively soak the filter in household vinegar or des-
56
caling fluid. After cleaning with clean water, secure the
filter back in its place.
Cleaning the jug
Wipe the outside of the jug with water and detergent us-
ing a soft, damp cloth. Dry using a soft cloth or tea towel.
Never use scouring powder or other cleaning agents with
an abrasive effect, as this will scratch the surface.
Descaling the kettle
The electric kettle must be descaled regularly and
cleaned from limescale sediment:
Normal maintenance. Check weekly that the kettle
does not have a limescale build-up. We recommend
only boiling as much water as is needed. You then avoid
water being left in the kettle, which increases the amount
of limescale sediment. You also save electricity.
Descale as required. Use one of the following methods:
· Method 1: To remove mild limescale sediment, once a
week fill with clear household vinegar until it covers the
bottom of the kettle. Leave the kettle for a couple of
hours, empty and rinse well. Tip: the descaling process is
accelerated by heating the liquid to 50–60 °C.
· Method 2: To remove tough limescale sediment, fill
with 0.25 L clear household vinegar and 0.75 L water.
Switch on the kettle and let it boil. Leave it to cool for 15
minutes, then boil again twice.
Once cleaned, boil water in the kettle another three
times before drinking. This ensures that any remnants of
the descaling liquid are removed from the kettle.
If limescale still remains after descaling, make sure the
kettle is descaled more frequently.
IMPORTANT: Only use descaling fluid and household
vinegar to descale the kettle. Never use sharp objects
to clean or descale the heat plate at the bottom of the
steel jug. If the jug is not descaled regularly, it can lead
to the heat element or the jug becoming damaged. This
type of damage is not covered by the guarantee.
SAFETY
Read the instructions thoroughly before use and store
them for later use.
Connect the Amphora electric kettle to 220–240 V and
only use the kettle for boiling water.
The electric kettle is for household use only, not commer-
cial use (e.g. in an industrial kitchen). Should the kettle
be used for other purposes, or should the kettle not be
used in accordance with the instructions, the user shall
bear full responsibility for any consequences. The right to
complain as a result shall not cover any damage to the
kettle or personal injury.
Always use the kettle under supervision.
Never switch the kettle on without water.
Before filling the kettle with water, remove from base.
Never fill with more water than to the jug's MAX mark (see
image 1).
WARNING: If the electric kettle is overfilled, the boiling
water can spray out when the kettle is in use.
WARNING: Risk of scolding. Hot steam and boiling water
can lead to scolding. Never open the lid when the kettle
is in use and take care when pouring out water. The
surfaces of the appliance are liable to get hot during use,
so do not touch while in use.
The kettle can only be used with the associated base.
When cleaning and maintaining the kettle, always un-
plug it from the socket.
To avoid scolding, personal injury or electric shock, never
immerse any of the kettle's parts (with the exception of
the limescale filter) in water or other fluids.
Never use the kettle outside.
The kettle can be placed on a flat, stable surface such as
a kitchen table.
Never put the kettle on or near hot plates, open fire or
similar.
Hold the kettle by the handle, do not touch hot surfaces.
The cord should never hang loose from the table edge or
lie on a hot surface.
The kettle and cord should be placed a sensible distance
from cookers and other heat sources.
IMPORTANT: The kettle must only be used by children over
8 years old and by people with limited physical, mental
or sensory abilities or lack of knowledge of the product
following instruction on sensible use of the kettle and the
risks associated with it. Instruction must be provided by
the person responsible for their safety and they must be
supervised at all times. Children must be supervised to
ensure they do not play with the kettle or use it irrespon-
sibly. Children are often incapable of assessing risks and
noticing dangerous situations.
Children should only clean and maintain the product if
they are 8 years or older and under adult supervision.
Unplug the kettle and make sure the kettle has cooled
before cleaning or maintaining.
Never use the kettle if parts of the kettle are damaged.
To avoid dangerous situations, always check the kettle,
handle, cord and plug for damage before use. Within
the warranty period and in accordance with applicable
legislation, the damaged element will be repaired or re-
placed by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's service
workshop or by similar qualified staff. If elements other
than those from the manufacturer are used, fire, personal
injury or other dangers may occur.
