1. Fill the Kettle: Remove the lid and fill the kettle with fresh, cold water. Do not fill below the minimum (150ml) or above the maximum (800ml) fill lines indicated inside the kettle. Overfilling may cause boiling water to spill out.
2. Secure the Lid: Place the lid firmly back on the kettle.
3. Place on Power Base: Position the kettle securely onto the power base.
4. Power On: Plug the power base into a suitable electrical outlet. Flip the power switch located on the base to the 'ON' position. The indicator light will illuminate, signifying that the kettle is heating.
5. Boiling Process: The kettle will begin to heat the water. Once the water reaches a boil, the kettle will automatically switch off, and the indicator light will extinguish.
6. Pouring: Carefully lift the kettle from the power base. The gooseneck spout allows for a slow, steady, and controlled pour, which is ideal for pour-over coffee brewing methods.
7. After Use: After pouring, return the kettle to its base or a heat-resistant surface. Unplug the power base when not in use.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your kettle.

• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the stainless steel finish.
• Interior Cleaning: For general cleaning, rinse the interior with water.
• Descaling: Mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle over time, especially in hard water areas. To descale, fill the kettle with a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar, or use a commercial descaling agent according to its instructions. Bring the solution to a boil, then let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour (or as recommended by the descaler). Discard the solution and rinse the kettle thoroughly several times with fresh water.
• Important: The kettle is not dishwasher safe. Do not immerse the power base in water.

6. Troubleshooting

• Kettle not heating:
  • Ensure the power base is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Verify that the power switch on the base is in the 'ON' position and the indicator light is illuminated.
  • Check that the kettle is properly seated on the power base.
• Water not boiling:
  • Confirm the kettle is filled above the minimum fill line.
  • Ensure the power switch is on.
• Kettle leaking:
  • Check for any visible damage to the kettle body.
  • Ensure the lid is properly seated.
  • If leakage persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
