Familiarize yourself with the components of your Alpina Wireless Kettle.

• Kettle Body: The main container for water, featuring a handle and spout.
• Lid: Hinged lid for filling the kettle.
• Water Level Indicator: Transparent window on the side to show water volume (Min 0.5L to Max 1.7L).
• On/Off Switch: Located on the handle, illuminates when the kettle is active.

4. Setup

Before first use, follow these steps:

1. Unpack the kettle and all accessories. Remove any packaging materials.
2. Place the power base on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.
3. Fill the kettle with clean water up to the MAX mark (1.7L).
4. Boil the water and then discard it. Repeat this process 2-3 times to remove any manufacturing residues.
5. Your kettle is now ready for regular use.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Kettle: Open the lid and fill the kettle with the desired amount of water. Do not fill below the MIN (0.5L) mark or above the MAX (1.7L) mark. Ensure the lid is securely closed before operating.
2. Placing on Base: Place the kettle firmly onto its cordless power base.
3. Power On: Plug the power cord into a suitable wall outlet. Press the On/Off switch downwards. The indicator light will illuminate, signifying that the kettle is heating.
4. Boiling: The water will begin to heat. Once the water reaches boiling point, the kettle will automatically switch off, and the indicator light will extinguish.
5. Pouring: Carefully lift the kettle from its base and pour the hot water.
6. Re-boiling: If you need to re-boil, wait a few seconds for the automatic switch to reset, then press the On/Off switch again.

Dry-Boil Protection

The kettle is equipped with a safety feature that automatically switches it off if it is accidentally operated without sufficient water. If this occurs, unplug the kettle and allow it to cool down for several minutes before refilling with water and resuming operation.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your kettle.

1. Before Cleaning: Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. Never immerse the kettle body or power base in water.
3. Interior Cleaning (Descaling): Limescale buildup can affect performance. To descale, fill the kettle with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar (or a commercial descaling solution) up to the MAX level. Boil the solution and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy buildup. Discard the solution and rinse the interior thoroughly with fresh water several times.
4. Water Filter: The removable water filter can be rinsed under running water to remove any trapped limescale particles.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your kettle, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Kettle does not turn on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
  • Check if the kettle is correctly seated on its power base.
  • Verify that the On/Off switch is pressed down.
• Water is not boiling:
  • Confirm the kettle is filled above the MIN level.
  • The kettle may have activated dry-boil protection. Unplug, let it cool, then refill and try again.
• Kettle switches off too quickly:
  • Limescale buildup can cause premature shut-off. Descale the kettle as described in the Maintenance section.
• Water has an unusual taste:
  • Ensure you have performed the initial cleaning steps (boiling and discarding water 2-3 times).
  • Regularly clean and descale the kettle.

If the problem persists, please contact customer support.
