4. Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the kettle and all accessories from the packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or disposal.

3. Position: Place the power base on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from the edge of the counter. Ensure the power cord is not dangling or touching hot surfaces.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Fill the Kettle: Remove the kettle from its power base. Open the lid and fill the kettle with the desired amount of fresh, cold water. Do not fill below the MIN mark or above the MAX mark (1.7 liters). Overfilling may cause boiling water to spill out.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your kettle.

6.1. Cleaning the Exterior

• Always unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface.
• Ensure the power base and the bottom of the kettle remain dry.

6.2. Cleaning the Filter

• The removable filter, located behind the spout, can be cleaned to prevent limescale buildup from affecting water quality.
• Remove the filter by gently pulling it upwards or unlatching it (refer to diagram if available, otherwise general instruction).
• Rinse the filter under running water and brush gently with a soft brush if necessary.
• Reinsert the filter securely after cleaning. A spare filter is included for convenience.

6.3. Descaling

Limescale buildup can affect the kettle's performance and taste of water, especially in hard water areas. Descale regularly (e.g., monthly or bi-monthly).

• Fill the kettle with a solution of white vinegar and water (1:2 ratio) or a commercial descaling solution according to product instructions.
• Bring the solution to a boil and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy buildup.
• Discard the solution and rinse the kettle thoroughly several times with fresh water.
• Boil fresh water once or twice and discard to remove any residual vinegar taste.
