Setup

1. Before first use, wipe down the exterior of the kettle with a damp cloth.

Operating Instructions

The Nostalgia Electric Kettle is designed for quick and efficient water heating.

1. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water. Do not fill below the MIN line or above the MAX line (1.7 liters).
2. Place the kettle firmly on its 360-degree rotational power base.
3. Plug the power base into a standard electrical outlet.
4. Flip the lighted On/Off indicator switch to the 'ON' position. The light will illuminate, indicating the kettle is heating.
5. The kettle will rapidly boil the water. The temperature gauge will show the rising temperature.
6. Once the water reaches boiling temperature, the kettle will automatically shut off due to the boil-dry protection system, and the indicator light will turn off.

This kettle is perfect for making tea, coffee, hot chocolate, instant soups, oatmeal, and more.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity of your Nostalgia Electric Kettle.

• Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• The kettle body should be hand washed only. Do not immerse the kettle body or power base in water or any other liquid.
• Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• For interior cleaning, fill the kettle with a mixture of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio) and boil. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then discard the mixture and rinse thoroughly. Repeat if necessary to remove mineral deposits.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the finish.

Troubleshooting

If your Nostalgia Electric Kettle is not functioning correctly, please check the following common issues:

• Kettle does not turn on: Ensure the power base is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the kettle is properly seated on the base and the On/Off switch is flipped to 'ON'.
• Water is not boiling: Verify that the kettle has enough water (above MIN line). Ensure the lid is securely closed.
• Kettle shuts off prematurely: This may indicate the boil-dry protection system has activated due to insufficient water. Refill the kettle and try again. If the issue persists, ensure the heating element is clean of mineral buildup.
• Water tastes metallic or unusual: Ensure you have performed the initial cleaning steps (boiling and discarding water several times). Regular descaling may be necessary if mineral deposits are present.
