Setup

3. Placement: Place the power base on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface away from the edge of the counter.
4. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the appliance's requirements (110-120V).

3. Place on Base: Place the kettle firmly onto the power base.
4. Start Boiling: Press the power switch. The LED indicator will illuminate, indicating that the kettle is heating.

Descaling (Removing Water Scale):

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up inside the kettle over time, especially in hard water areas. Descale regularly to maintain efficiency.

1. Fill the kettle with a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water, or use a commercial descaling solution according to its instructions.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy scale.
3. Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times to remove any vinegar residue.
4. For stubborn deposits, gently scrub the interior with a non-abrasive sponge or brush.
5. Boil fresh water 2-3 times and discard to ensure no taste or odor remains.
