- Place on Power Base: Position the kettle onto the 360° rotational power base. Ensure it is seated correctly.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your kettle.
- 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.
- Descaling: Limescale buildup can affect performance. Descale your kettle regularly, especially in hard water areas. You can use a commercial descaling solution or a mixture of white vinegar and water (1 part vinegar to 2 parts water). Fill the kettle with the solution, boil it, and let it stand for 30 minutes before discarding. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.
- Cleaning the Anti-Calc Filter: The removable anti-calc filter can be cleaned by rinsing it under running water. If heavily scaled, gently brush it with a soft brush. Ensure it is properly reinserted before use.
- Dishwasher Safety: No parts of this kettle are dishwasher safe.
