Product Overview

Its double-wall construction ensures a cool-touch exterior while maintaining water temperature. The interior is made entirely of food-grade stainless steel, preventing plastic contact with water.

Key Features:

• Stainless Steel Interior: Ensures water never touches plastic, promoting healthy drinking.
• Cool-Touch Exterior: BPA-free double-wall design prevents scalding and improves energy efficiency.
• 1.7L / 1.8 Quart Capacity: Ideal for various uses, from single servings to multiple cups.
• STRIX British Control Technology: Provides enhanced durability, reliable performance, auto shut-off, and boil-dry protection.
• Rapid Boiling: Heats water quickly, saving time and energy.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the kettle and its base from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, fill the kettle with clean water to the MAX line. 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 dry, flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure the kettle is placed away from the edge of the counter to prevent accidental spills.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded 120V, 60Hz electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

1. Fill the Kettle: Press the button on the handle to open the lid. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water. Do not fill below the MIN mark or above the MAX (1.7L) mark. Close the lid securely.
2. Place on Base: Position the kettle firmly onto its power base.
3. Start Boiling: Push the ON/OFF switch located at the bottom of the handle downwards to the "ON" position. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the kettle is heating.
4. Automatic Shut-Off: The kettle will automatically turn off once the water has reached a rolling boil. The indicator light will extinguish, and the switch will return to the "OFF" position.
5. Pouring: Carefully lift the kettle from its base and pour the hot water. The cool-touch exterior ensures safe handling.
6. Re-boiling: If you need to re-boil water immediately, wait a few seconds for the internal thermostat to reset before pushing the switch to "ON" again.

Maintenance and Cleaning

General Cleaning:

• Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet 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.
• The kettle is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash only.
• Never immerse the kettle or its power base in water or any other liquid.

Descaling:

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up inside the kettle over time, especially in hard water areas. Regular descaling is recommended to maintain performance and extend the kettle's lifespan.

1. Fill the kettle with a mixture of 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water, ensuring the mixture is below the MAX line.
2. Allow the mixture to soak in the kettle for several hours (or overnight for heavy buildup) without boiling.
3. Discard the vinegar solution and rinse the interior thoroughly with fresh water.
4. For stubborn deposits, gently wipe the interior with a soft cloth or sponge after soaking.
5. Boil fresh water in the kettle 2-3 times and discard to remove any residual vinegar taste.
