3. Discard the boiled water.
4. Repeat this process two to three times to remove any manufacturing residues.
5. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.

Placement

Place the power base on a flat, stable, heat-resistant, and dry surface. Ensure the power cord is not dangling where it can be pulled or tripped over. The kettle can be placed on the 360° rotational base in any direction.

Operating Instructions

Once the desired temperature is selected, the kettle will begin heating. The digital display will show the water's temperature as it rises. The kettle will beep when the target temperature is reached.

Keep-Warm Function

The kettle features an automatic 30-minute keep-warm function. After reaching the selected temperature, the kettle will maintain that temperature for 30 minutes. This function activates automatically.

Automatic Shut-Off

For safety and energy efficiency, the kettle will automatically shut off after the 30-minute keep-warm cycle or if it runs dry.

Cordless Serving

The kettle is cordless and can be lifted from its 360° rotational base for convenient serving.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the exterior of the kettle and the power base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Ensure the kettle is unplugged and cool before cleaning.

Descaling

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. Regular descaling is recommended to maintain performance and extend the kettle's lifespan. Descale at least monthly or every other month, depending on water hardness.

1. Fill the kettle with 2 cups of white vinegar and 2 cups of water. Alternatively, use a commercial descaling solution following its instructions.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil (212°F) and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy buildup.
3. Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.
4. If necessary, repeat the process until all deposits are removed.

Note: Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals inside the kettle, as this may damage the stainless steel interior.
