4. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the kettle and its base from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or disposal.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, fill the kettle with clean water to the MAX level. Boil the water, then discard it. Repeat this process 2-3 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. Ensure the power cord is not dangling where it can be pulled or tripped over.
4. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet (220-240V, 50/60Hz).

5. Operating Instructions

1. Fill the Kettle: Press the lid release button to open the lid. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of fresh water. Do not fill below the MIN mark or above the MAX mark. Close the lid securely.
2. Place on Base: Place the kettle firmly onto its power base.
3. Start Boiling: Press the ON/OFF switch located at the bottom of the handle downwards. The indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the kettle is heating.
4. Automatic Shut-off: Once the water reaches a rolling boil, the kettle will automatically switch off, and the indicator light will extinguish.
5. Pouring: Carefully lift the kettle from its base and pour the hot water. Always pour slowly and steadily to avoid splashing.
6. Re-boiling: If you need to re-boil water immediately after it has switched off, wait a few seconds for the internal thermostat to reset before pressing the switch again.

Safety Features:

• Boil-Dry Protection: If the kettle is accidentally switched on without sufficient water, the boil-dry protection system will automatically switch it off to prevent damage. Allow the kettle to cool down before refilling with water.
• Overheating Fusion System: Provides an additional layer of safety against overheating.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance 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 with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface. Never immerse the kettle or its power base in water or any other liquid.
3. Interior Cleaning (Descaling): Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. This can affect performance.
   • Fill the kettle with a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts water.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy scale.
   • Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.
   • If necessary, repeat the process. Alternatively, commercial descaling solutions designed for kettles can be used following their instructions.
4. Filter Cleaning: If your kettle has a removable filter, gently remove it and rinse under running water. Use a soft brush if necessary to remove any deposits. Reinsert the filter securely after cleaning.
