Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
- Read all instructions carefully before use.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against fire, electric shock, and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact customer service for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to 'off', then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
- Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot water.
- Ensure the lid is securely closed before operating.
- Do not fill above the 'MAX' line or below the 'MIN' line to prevent boiling over or boil-dry damage.

Maintenance and Cleaning
General Cleaning:
- Always unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before 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 body or power base in water or any other liquid.
- The removable filter in the spout can be rinsed under running water. If heavily soiled, gently brush it with a soft brush. Ensure it is properly reinserted before use.
Descaling (Removing Limescale):
Limescale buildup can affect the kettle's performance and lifespan. Descale regularly, especially in areas with hard water.
- Fill the kettle with 3 cups of white vinegar or lemon juice and 1 cup of water. Alternatively, use a commercial descaling solution according to its instructions.
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Allow the solution to soak in the kettle for 5-8 hours, or overnight for heavy buildup.
- Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.
- Boil fresh water in the kettle and discard it to remove any residual descaling solution taste.
