Safety cut-out If the kettle is switch on with too little or no water, it is protected against damage by a safety cut-out which will switch off the power.

Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning the kettle G G G Before cleaning, unplug your kettle and let it cool down. Even though your kettle comes with a filter, you still need to clean the inside (and the filter) regularly. Kettle KBJ3050 4 Scale Scale is mainly calcium carbonate (chalk), a harmless, naturally occurring mineral found in most water supplies. "Hard" water contains more of this mineral than "soft" water. When the water is heated, the minerals in the water solidify, making the water appear cloudy. These minerals form a thin film on the walls, element and on the surface of the water. The water may look like it has white coloured pieces of plastic floating on the surface. On traditional kettle elements, scale forms a hard white "crust" which adversely affects performance and reduces the life of the element. As soon as you notice a film forming on the water, or, when cleaning the filter, if you notice a film on the walls or the element, simply rinse the kettle and wipe it out. Descaling Regular descaling of the flat element will improve the performance of your kettle. If the kettle is not descaled regularly the build up of limescale may result in the following: problems may be experienced with the kettle switching on and off during use or switching off before boiling. Please note: Failure to descale your kettle may invalidate your guarantee. When limescale starts to build up on the heating element, buy a suitable descaler and descale your kettle.
