Setup and First Use

Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels from the kettle and its power base. Retain packaging for storage or future transport.

Initial Cleaning

Before first use, it is recommended to clean the kettle to remove any manufacturing residues.

1. Fill the kettle with fresh cold water up to the MAX (1L) level.
2. Place the kettle on its power base and select the 100°C temperature setting to boil the water.
3. Once boiled, carefully discard the hot water.
4. Repeat this boiling and discarding process 2-3 times.

Positioning

Place the digital power base on a flat, stable, dry, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure the power cord is not dangling where it could be pulled or tripped over.

Operating Instructions

Filling the Kettle

Remove the lid and fill the kettle with the desired amount of fresh cold water. Observe the water level indicator to ensure you fill between the MIN and MAX (1L) marks. Replace the lid securely before operating.

Selecting Temperature and Boiling

1. Place the filled kettle firmly onto its digital power base.
2. Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
3. Press the power button (usually indicated by a power symbol) to activate the kettle.
4. Use the temperature selection buttons (e.g., `+` or `-` or specific temperature buttons) to choose your desired temperature from the available options: 40°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, 85°C, 90°C, 95°C, or 100°C. The selected temperature will be clearly displayed on the backlit screen.
5. The kettle will begin heating. The screen will show the current water temperature as it rises towards your selected setting.
6. Once the desired temperature is reached, the kettle will emit an audible signal and automatically switch off.

Keep Warm Function

After reaching the selected temperature, the kettle automatically activates a 30-minute keep warm function. During this period, the water temperature will be maintained at the chosen setting.

Pouring

Carefully lift the kettle from its base. The gooseneck spout allows for precise and controlled pouring, which is particularly beneficial for pour-over coffee methods or when preparing delicate teas.

Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your kettle.

Cleaning the Exterior

Always unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.

Cleaning the Interior

The removable lid provides easy access to the interior for cleaning. Use a soft brush or sponge with a mild detergent if necessary, then rinse the interior thoroughly with fresh water.

Descaling

Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may accumulate inside the kettle, especially in areas with hard water. Regular descaling is essential to maintain heating efficiency and water purity.

1. Fill the kettle with a mixture of water and white vinegar (e.g., 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water) or a commercial descaling solution according to the product's instructions.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil (or heat to a high temperature if using a descaling solution that does not require boiling).
3. Allow the solution to stand in the kettle for at least 30 minutes, or longer if the limescale buildup is heavy.
4. Carefully discard the descaling solution.
5. Rinse the kettle interior thoroughly several times with fresh water.
6. Boil fresh water once or twice and discard it to remove any residual taste or odor from the descaling process.
