Setup Instructions
1. Unboxing and Initial Inspection
Carefully remove all components from the packaging: the kettle, the base, and the lid. Inspect all parts for any signs of damage. If any damage is found, do not use the kettle and contact customer support.
2. Placement
Place the kettle base on a dry, flat, and stable surface, away from the edge of the countertop and out of reach of children. Ensure there is adequate space around the base for ventilation.
3. Initial Cleaning
Before first use, wash the inside of the kettle and the lid with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Do not immerse the base in water or any other liquid. The kettle is designed for hand washing only.
4. Filling the Kettle
Fill the kettle with fresh, cold water. Do not fill above the maximum fill line indicated inside the kettle (0.9 Liter capacity). Overfilling may cause boiling water to overflow, posing a burn hazard.
5. Power Connection
Place the filled kettle securely onto the base. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The display on the base will illuminate.

Maintenance
1. Daily Cleaning
After each use, allow the kettle to cool completely. Wash the interior of the kettle and the lid by hand with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
2. Descaling
Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in areas with hard water. To descale, fill the kettle with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Bring the solution to a boil and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy buildup. Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly several times with fresh water to remove any vinegar residue. For stubborn deposits, a dedicated descaling solution designed for kettles can be used following the product's instructions.
3. Exterior Care
Wipe the exterior of the kettle and the base with a damp, soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the base and electrical components remain dry.
