Operating Instructions
- Fill the Kettle: Open the lid and fill the kettle with the desired amount of water. Do not fill below the MIN mark or above the MAX (1.7L) line.
- Place on Base: Place the kettle securely onto the power base.
- Power On: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Press the ON/OFF switch down. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the kettle is heating.
- Boiling: The 1500W heating element will rapidly and quietly boil the water (within 3-7 minutes for 1.7L). The kettle operates at less than 30 dB.
- Automatic Shut-Off: Once the water reaches a rolling boil, the kettle will automatically shut off, and the indicator light will extinguish.
- Pouring: Carefully lift the kettle from the base and pour the hot water. The double-wall construction ensures the exterior remains cool to the touch.

Maintenance & Cleaning
- Unplug: 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.
- Interior Cleaning (Descaling): Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle. To descale:
- Fill the kettle with 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water.
- Boil the mixture and let it soak for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for heavy buildup.
- Discard the mixture and rinse the interior thoroughly with fresh water.
- For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive brush can be used.
- Storage: When not in use, store the kettle in a clean, dry place.

Troubleshooting
- Kettle does not heat: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet and the ON/OFF switch is pressed down. Check if the kettle is properly seated on the power base.
- Kettle shuts off before boiling: This may indicate limescale buildup. Perform descaling as described in the Maintenance section.
- Water has a strange taste/odor: Ensure initial cleaning steps were followed. If the issue persists, try boiling and discarding water several times. The 100% stainless steel interior minimizes taste transfer.
- Exterior is hot: While the double-wall design keeps the exterior cool to the touch, prolonged boiling or very high ambient temperatures might cause slight warmth. It should not be hot enough to burn.
