3 Don’t touch hot surfaces. Use the handle and lid knob.

4 Keep the kettle, stand, and cable away from the edges of worktops and out of reach of children.

BRITA® MAXTRA FILTER CARTRIDGE

• The filter cartridge contains ion exchange resin and activated carbon.

• Reduces limescale and substances, eg. chlorine, that affect taste and odour.

• For your wellbeing, reduces metals such as lead and copper that may be present in your water due to domestic plumbing.

• Reducing the impurities makes the water look and taste better, and the reduction in limescale helps your kettle too.

, Remember – water is a food, it goes off. Use filtered water within two days.

U

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Pull the lid release up, to open the lid.

• Remove the filter cartridge from inside the kettle, and jump to point 3 below.

F

PREPARING THE FILTER CARTRIDGE

1 Pull the lid release up, to open the lid.

2 To remove a used filter cartridge, hold the funnel firmly with one hand, grip the ring-pull with the other hand, and pull the filter cartridge up and out.

3

3 Remove all packaging from the new filter cartridge.

4 Don’t worry if the inside of the packaging is damp – it’s just condensation.

5 There might be black carbon particles in the packaging or on the filter cartridge.

Don’t worry, they’re harmless.

6 To ensure efficient operation, all air must be removed from the filter cartridge.

7 Submerge the filter cartridge in a bowl of cold water and shake it gently till no more bubbles are released..

8 You may notice some black carbon particles floating in the water. Again, don’t worry, they’re harmless.

9 Before first use, you must flush the filter cartridge.

10 Push the filter cartridge into the funnel till it won’t go any further.

11 Use a jug to fill the funnel quickly to the bottom of the slots.

12 When the funnel empties, fill it to the ring-pull on top of the filter cartridge.

13 This should fill the kettle to about the max mark.

14 Discard the water, and repeat the operation.

15 When you’ve discarded two lots of water, the filter cartridge is ready for use.

u

RESET THE BRITA® MEMO

16 This shows what proportion of the filter cartridge’s 4 week life is left.

17 Press and hold the START button till all 4 bars appear and flash twice, then let go.

18 Every week, one bar will disappear.

19 When all 4 bars disappear, a flashing arrow will appear at the top of the display. This means it’s time to replace the filter cartridge.

20 When the display gets down to one bar, it’s a good idea to check that you’ve got another filter cartridge available. If you haven’t, it’s time to buy some.

21 The flashing dot at the bottom right of the display shows that the Memo is working.

HOLIDAYS

22 If you haven’t used the kettle for a few days: a) empty the kettle and rinse it out b) flush the filter cartridge (see points 10-15)

C

FILLING

23 Pull the lid release up, to open the lid.

24 Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not above max.

25 If you overfill, the kettle may spit boiling water.

26 Use a jug to fill the funnel quickly to the bottom of the slots.

27 When the funnel empties, fill it to the ring-pull on top of the filter cartridge.

28 This should fill the kettle to about the max mark.

29 If the water level is above the max mark, pour some water out of the kettle.

30 Close the lid, and press down to lock it.

C

SWITCHING ON

31 Check the switch is off (move it to 0).

32 Plug the stand into the wall socket.

33 Put the kettle on the stand.

34 Move the switch to 1. The light will come on, and the kettle will heat up.

4

C

SWITCHING OFF

35 When the water boils the kettle will switch off and the light will go out.

36 To switch off manually, move the switch to 0.

C

GENERAL

37 To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don’t over-tilt the kettle.

38 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.

39 When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don’t worry – it’s the steam used to switch off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents under the kettle.

40 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.

F

USING WITH INSUFFICIENT WATER

41 This will shorten the life of the element. A boil-dry cut-out will switch the kettle off.

42 To prevent the kettle cycling on and off, remove the kettle from the stand and let it cool before replacing it on the stand.

C

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

43 Check the switch is off (move it to 0).

44 Unplug the stand from the wall socket, and let the kettle cool down fully before cleaning.

45 Wipe the kettle, inside and out, with a damp cloth

46 Keep the connectors dry.

C

THE FUNNEL

47 Hold the handle with one hand.

48 Put the other hand under the lid hinge.

49 Lift the rim and lid up and off the kettle.

50 Lift the funnel out of the kettle.

51 Press the hook on top of the filter down and forward, to release the filter into the spout

C

THE MESH FILTER

52 Lift the filter out of the spout.

53 Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.

54 Lower the filter into the spout, till the tab engages in the grip below the spout.

55 Press the top of the filter towards the kettle, to lock the hook in place.

56 Wipe the available surfaces of the funnel with a damp cloth.

57 Don’t wipe the filter cartridge.

58 Replace the funnel and filter cartridge.

59 The flat area of the funnel should face the handle.

60 To replace the rim, fit the latch under the top of the handle.

61 Press the front of the rim to lock the clips into the kettle.

DISPOSAL

62 Sadly, nothing lasts forever, and the day will come when your appliance comes to the end of its natural life.

63 The appliance contains a battery, which must be removed from the appliance, and recycled, or disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.

64 Put the end of a screwdriver in the notch above the Memo, and prise it out of the lid.

65 Your local authority will have arrangements for recycling or disposing of the BRITA®

Memo.
