4. Operating Instructions

1. Fill the Kettle: Open the lid and fill the kettle with the desired amount of fresh water. Do not fill below the MIN (0.5L) mark or above the MAX (1.7L) mark. Overfilling may cause boiling water to spill out.

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your Midea Electric 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 surface.

• Removable Filter: The filter in the spout can be easily removed for cleaning. Rinse it under running water and use a soft brush if necessary to remove any deposits. Ensure it is properly re-inserted before use.

  1. Mix two tablespoons of baking soda and the juice of one lemon with water.
  2. Fill the kettle with this solution.
  3. Boil the solution for approximately 30 minutes.
  4. Discard the solution and rinse the kettle thoroughly several times with clean water to remove any residue.
