general
19 Remove the kettle from the stand before pouring.
20 To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don’t over-tilt the kettle.
21 Don’t tilt the kettle backwards, water might get on to the control area. If this
happens, let the kettle dry before use – sit it somewhere warm for 12 hours.
22 When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don’t worry – it’s the
steam used to switch the kettle off, which then condenses and escapes via vents
under the kettle.
23 You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, don’t worry – it’s
due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.
using with insufficient water
24 This will shorten the life of the element.
25 A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.
26 To prevent the kettle cycling on and off, remove the kettle from the stand and let it
cool before replacing it on the stand.
27 Don’t fill the kettle till it’s cold, or it may spit.
