Setup

Operating Instructions
- Filling the Kettle: Press the button on the handle to open the hinged lid. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water, ensuring it is between the minimum (0.5L) and maximum (1.5L) marks on the water level indicator. Close the lid securely.

- Re-boiling: If you need to re-boil water immediately after it has just boiled, wait a few seconds for the automatic shut-off mechanism to reset before pressing the switch again.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your kettle.
- Before Cleaning: 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 or scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface.
- Interior Cleaning: The interior can be cleaned with a soft brush or sponge. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Anti-Calc Filter: The kettle is equipped with an anti-calc filter. To clean it, open the lid and gently remove the filter. Rinse it under running water. If heavily scaled, soak it in a descaling solution (see descaling instructions). Reinsert the filter securely after 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.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer if scaling is heavy.
- Empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly with fresh water several times to remove any residue and vinegar smell.
- Repeat if necessary.
- Storage: When not in use, store the kettle in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
