First Use Cleaning:

3. Discard the boiled water.
4. Repeat this process 2-3 times to remove any manufacturing residues.
5. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.

Placement:

Place the power base on a flat, stable, heat-resistant, and dry surface. Ensure the kettle is placed securely on the base before operation. Keep the kettle away from the edge of the counter to prevent accidental spills.

Operating Instructions

1. 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" mark (1.7L).
2. Place on Base: Close the lid securely and place the kettle onto its power base.
3. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet (220V).
4. Select Temperature: The digital display will illuminate. Use the temperature selection buttons to choose your desired temperature from the available options: 45°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, 90°C, or 100°C.

6. Automatic Shut-off: The kettle will automatically shut off once the selected temperature is reached or if the kettle boils dry.
7. Keep Warm Function: After reaching the target temperature, the kettle may automatically enter a "keep warm" mode, maintaining the temperature for a set period. Refer to the display for the "keep warm" indicator.
8. Pour Water: Carefully lift the kettle from the base and pour the hot water.

Note: The double-layer design provides anti-scald protection, but the exterior may still become warm. Exercise caution when handling.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Exterior:

• Always unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface.
• Never immerse the kettle body or power base in water or any other liquid.

Descaling (Removing Limescale):

Limescale buildup can affect the kettle's performance and lifespan. Descale regularly, especially in areas with hard water.

• Vinegar Method: Fill the kettle with 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water. Let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or boil the mixture for a few minutes if the buildup is severe. Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly several times with fresh water.
• Citric Acid Method: Dissolve 1 tablespoon of citric acid powder in 1 liter of water. Pour into the kettle and boil. Let it stand for 15-20 minutes, then empty and rinse thoroughly.
• After descaling, boil fresh water 2-3 times and discard to remove any residual descaling agent.
