Setup

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

3. Placement: Place the power base on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from the edge of the counter. Ensure the power cord does not hang over the edge.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power base into a grounded electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

3. Place on Base: Position the kettle firmly onto its power base.

7. Re-boiling: If you need to re-boil, wait a few moments for the internal thermostat to reset before pressing the switch again.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your kettle.

General Cleaning:

• Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the ceramic finish.
• Interior: The interior can be gently hand washed. Do not immerse the kettle body or power base in water.
• Lid: The lid can be washed with warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly.
• Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing or re-using.

Descaling:

Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. Descaling regularly will maintain efficiency and prolong the kettle's life.

• Fill the kettle with a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts water, or use a commercial descaling solution according to its 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 to remove any vinegar residue.
• If necessary, repeat the process.
