3. 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 up to the maximum level. Boil the water, then discard it. Repeat this process two to three times to remove any manufacturing residues.
3. Placement: Place the power base on a stable, flat, dry, and heat-resistant surface, away from the edge of the counter. Ensure there is sufficient space around the kettle for steam to escape safely.
4. Power Connection: Unwind the power cord from the cable reel at the bottom of the base to the desired length. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet. Ensure the voltage of your power supply matches the rating label on the bottom of the kettle.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Fill the Kettle: Remove the kettle from its base. Open the lid and fill the kettle with the desired amount of fresh water. Do not fill below the minimum mark or above the maximum mark indicated on the water level indicator. Overfilling may cause boiling water to spill out.
2. Close the Lid: Ensure the lid is securely closed before placing the kettle back on its base.
3. Place on Base: Position the kettle firmly on its 360° rotating power base.
4. Set Thermostat (if applicable): If your model includes a thermostat control, adjust it to your desired temperature setting.
5. Switch On: Press the integrated On/Off switch down. The indicator light will illuminate, signifying that the kettle is heating.
6. Automatic Shut-off: The kettle will automatically switch off once the water has boiled or reached the set temperature. The indicator light will turn off.
7. Pouring: Carefully lift the kettle from its base and pour the hot water. Always pour slowly and steadily to avoid splashing.
8. Re-boiling: If you need to re-boil, wait a few moments for the internal thermostat to reset before pressing the On/Off switch again.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your INVENTUM HW817D electric 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 harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. The product care instructions specify to "Wipe clean".
3. Interior Cleaning / Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. This can affect performance and taste.
   • 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 scale.
   • Discard the mixture and rinse the kettle thoroughly with fresh water several times.
   • Alternatively, use a commercial descaling solution specifically designed for kettles, following the product's instructions.
4. Cable Storage: When not in use, the power cord can be neatly wound around the cable reel located at the bottom of the power base.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your INVENTUM HW817D electric kettle, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Kettle does not turn on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working wall outlet.
  • Check if the kettle is correctly placed on its power base.
  • Verify that the On/Off switch is pressed down.
  • Check your household fuse or circuit breaker.
• Water is not boiling or heating slowly:
  • Ensure the lid is fully closed.
  • Check if the thermostat control (if present) is set to the desired temperature.
  • Descaling may be required if limescale buildup is present.
• Kettle switches off prematurely:
  • This could indicate limescale buildup. Perform descaling.
  • Ensure the kettle is not being operated empty, which would trigger overheat protection.
• Water leakage:
  • Do not overfill the kettle beyond the maximum fill line.
