2. Important Safety Instructions

Please read all safety instructions carefully before using the appliance to prevent injury or damage. Keep this manual for future reference.

• This appliance is designed for 12V DC vehicle power outlets only. Do not use with other voltage sources.
• Ensure the kettle is securely placed in a cup holder or on a stable surface in the vehicle to prevent tipping.
• Always ensure the water level is between the minimum and maximum fill lines marked inside the cup. Overfilling can cause boiling water to spray out.
• Do not open the lid immediately after boiling. Allow the kettle to rest for a few minutes until the temperature drops (e.g., to 90°C) before slowly opening the lid to release pressure.
• The kettle features dry-burn protection, which automatically shuts off the unit if there is no water. However, always ensure there is water before heating.
• Do not immerse the kettle base or power cord in water or other liquids.
• Do not boil food items such as noodles, tea leaves, eggs, or coffee powder directly inside the kettle. This appliance is intended for heating water only.
• Keep out of reach of children. Hot surfaces can cause burns.
• Disconnect the power cord from the vehicle outlet when not in use or before cleaning.
