Cooking and Steaming:

• The wide mouth (130mm) allows for cooking instant noodles or other small meals directly in the kettle.
• To steam, place the steaming rack inside the kettle, add a small amount of water below the rack, place food (e.g., eggs) on the rack, and cover with the lid. Use the "Boil" or "Keep Warm" setting as needed.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Always unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. The interior can be cleaned with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
• Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle. To descale, fill the kettle with a mixture of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio) or a commercial descaling solution. Boil the mixture, then let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour. Discard the solution and rinse the kettle several times with fresh water.
• Storage: Ensure the kettle is clean and dry before storing. Fold the handle and place the base inside the pot body for compact storage. Use the provided storage bag to protect the kettle.
