Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and promotional labels from the kettle and its base.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, fill the kettle with fresh water to the MAX level. Boil the water, then discard it. Repeat this process two to three times to remove any manufacturing residues.
3. Placement: Place the power base on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from the edge of the counter.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the power cord is fully unwound and plug the base into a grounded electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Kettle: Press the button on the lid to open it automatically. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of fresh water, observing the water level indicator. Do not fill below the MIN mark or above the MAX mark (1.7 liters / 57 ounces). Close the lid securely.
2. Placing on Base: Position the kettle onto its 360-degree rotational power base.
3. Boiling Water: Press the illuminated On/Off switch downwards. The indicator light will illuminate, signifying that the kettle is heating.
4. Automatic Shut-off: The kettle will automatically switch off once the water has reached boiling point. The indicator light will extinguish.
5. Serving: Carefully lift the kettle from its base and pour the hot water.
6. Re-boiling: If the kettle has just boiled, allow a few moments for the automatic shut-off mechanism to reset before attempting to re-boil.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your 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 scouring pads, as these can damage the stainless steel finish.
3. Interior Cleaning (Descaling): Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas.
   • Fill the kettle with a mixture of water and white vinegar (e.g., 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water) or a commercial descaling solution according to product instructions.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer if scale is heavy.
   • Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.
   • If necessary, repeat the process.
4. Anti-Scale Filter Cleaning: The removable anti-scale filter can be gently rinsed under running water. If heavily scaled, soak it in a vinegar solution before rinsing. Ensure it is properly re-inserted before use.
