4. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your electric kettle for the first time:
- Unpack the Kettle: Carefully remove all packaging materials from the kettle and its base.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your kettle.
- 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 with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the stainless steel finish.
- Interior Cleaning: The kettle features a concealed heating element, which helps prevent lime scale buildup. For general cleaning, rinse the interior with clean water. For stubborn stains, a mild dish soap can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
- Descaling: Although the concealed element reduces scale, mineral deposits can still accumulate over time, especially in hard water areas. To descale, fill the kettle with a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts water. Let it stand for an hour (or boil for severe buildup), then discard the mixture and rinse thoroughly several times with fresh water.
- Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the kettle body or the power base in water or any other liquid.
7. Troubleshooting

| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
