2. Close the Lid: Ensure the lid is securely closed before operating.
3. Place on Base: Place the kettle firmly onto its power base.

Care and Maintenance

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

• 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 and the power base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Never immerse the kettle or its base in water or any other liquid.
• Interior Cleaning (Descaling): Limescale buildup can affect performance. Descale your kettle regularly, especially in hard water areas.
  • Fill the kettle with a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts water.
  • Boil the mixture and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy buildup.
  • Discard the mixture and rinse the kettle thoroughly with fresh water several times.
  • Alternatively, use a commercial descaling solution following the manufacturer's instructions.
• Filter Cleaning: The removable anti-lime filter can be gently rinsed under running water. Ensure it is properly re-inserted before use.
