5.1 Filling the Kettle

The OVENTE KG612S features innovative ProntoFill technology for easy water refilling:

• ProntoFill: Simply pour water directly into the center opening of the lid. The lid's design gently funnels water inside without needing to remove it.
• Traditional Fill: For thorough cleaning or if preferred, the entire lid can be removed by pulling it upwards. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water, ensuring it is between the MIN (0.5L) and MAX (1.7L) marks.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your kettle.

1. Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Cleaning the Interior: To remove mineral deposits (scale), fill the kettle with 2 cups of white vinegar and 2 cups of water. Let it soak for 20-30 minutes without boiling. Discard the solution and rinse thoroughly with fresh water. For stubborn deposits, boil the vinegar solution, then let it soak and rinse.
3. Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they may scratch the surface.
4. Cleaning the Lid and Infuser: The lid and tea infuser can be removed and hand-washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Do NOT immerse the kettle body or power base in water or any other liquid.

7. Troubleshooting

If your kettle is not functioning as expected, please refer to the following common issues and solutions:

• Kettle does not turn on:
  • Ensure the kettle is properly seated on the power base.
  • Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Verify that the on/off switch is in the 'on' position and a temperature has been selected.

  • This may be due to excessive scale buildup. Refer to the 'Maintenance and Cleaning' section to descale your kettle.
• Water has a strange taste/smell:
  • Perform the initial cleaning process (boiling and discarding water 2-3 times) to remove any residual odors.
  • Ensure the kettle is regularly descaled as per the 'Maintenance and Cleaning' section.
