Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the kettle and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.

3. Positioning the Power Base: Place the power base on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure the power cord is not dangling where it can be pulled or tripped over.
4. Connecting to Power: Plug the power cord into a standard 110V AC electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Kettle: Open the lid and fill the carafe with fresh water. Do not fill below the minimum mark or above the maximum fill line to prevent boiling dry or overflowing.
2. Placing on Power Base: Place the kettle securely onto the 360-degree rotational power base.
3. Selecting Temperature (Boil):
   • To bring water to a rolling boil, press the appropriate button on the handle's display panel. The display will show the current temperature and progress.
   • The kettle will automatically shut off once the water reaches boiling point.
4. Selecting Temperature (Keep Warm):
   • To heat water to a specific temperature and hold it, select one of the preset warming temperatures (100°F, 150°F, or 200°F) using the controls on the handle.
   • The kettle will heat the water to the selected temperature and maintain it for up to 2 hours.
   • The multi-colored backlight will indicate the temperature range.
5. Pouring: Carefully lift the kettle from the power base and pour the hot water. The spout filter helps ensure a clean pour.
6. Automatic Shut-off: The kettle features an automatic shut-off function for safety, activating when water boils or when the kettle is lifted from the base.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your Saeco Electric Water Kettle.

1. Before Cleaning: Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle and the power base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
