Operating Instructions

Filling the Kettle:

• To re-boil, simply repeat the process.

Automatic Shut-off and Boil-Dry Protection:

The kettle is equipped with an automatic shut-off feature that activates once the water has boiled. It also includes boil-dry protection, which automatically turns off the heating element if the kettle is accidentally switched on without sufficient water. If boil-dry protection activates, allow the kettle to cool down for a few minutes before refilling with water and operating again.

Maintenance and Cleaning

WARNING: Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

Exterior Cleaning:

• Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface.
• Ensure no water enters the electrical components.

Interior Cleaning and Descaling:

Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. Regular descaling is recommended to maintain performance and prolong the life of your kettle.

• 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, ensuring the mixture covers the heating element.
• Bring the mixture to a boil.
• Allow the solution to soak in the kettle for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy scale buildup.
• Pour out the solution and rinse the interior thoroughly with fresh water several times.
• If necessary, repeat the process until all limescale is removed.
• The anti-calc filter in the spout can be removed for cleaning if needed. Rinse it under running water.

Storage:

When not in use, store the kettle in a clean, dry place. The power cord can be neatly wound around the cord winder located under the power base.
