3. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the kettle and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, fill the kettle with clean water up to the maximum fill line. Boil the water at 100°C, then discard it. Repeat this process 2-3 times to remove any manufacturing residues. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
3. Power Connection: Connect the detachable power cord to the kettle's power inlet at the bottom. Ensure the connection is secure. Plug the other end of the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. The kettle requires a constant power supply to operate; it does not have an internal battery.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Kettle: Unscrew the lid and fill the kettle with fresh water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line (0.3 Litres) indicated inside the kettle. Ensure the lid is securely screwed back on before operation.
2. Powering On: Once plugged in, the temperature indicators (45, 65, 85, 100°C) will briefly illuminate.
3. Temperature Selection: Press the "Set Temp" button (indicated by a thermometer icon) repeatedly to cycle through the desired temperature settings:
   • 45°C: Ideal for milk powder or warm water.
   • 65°C: Suitable for green tea.
   • 85°C: Recommended for coffee.
   • 100°C: For boiling water, black tea, or instant noodles.
   The selected temperature will illuminate.
4. Heating Process: After selecting the temperature, the kettle will automatically begin heating. The breathing light will flash to indicate that heating is in progress.
5. Completion and Keep Warm Function: Once the desired temperature is reached, the kettle will beep, and the breathing light will remain steadily on.
   • If 45°C is selected, the kettle will maintain this temperature for up to 12 hours.
   • If 65°C or 85°C is selected, the kettle will maintain the temperature for up to 3 hours.
   • The 100°C setting does not have a keep warm function; it will boil and then turn off.
6. Pouring: Carefully unscrew the lid and pour the hot water. Be cautious of steam and hot water. The exterior of the kettle is designed with double-layer scald protection, but the lid and spout area will be hot.
7. Powering Off: To turn off the kettle, unplug it from the power outlet.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your kettle.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely. Empty any remaining water. Wipe the interior with a soft, damp cloth. For the exterior, use a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Descaling: Limescale buildup can affect performance and taste, especially in hard water areas. Descale your kettle regularly (monthly or as needed).
  • Fill the kettle with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water, or use a commercial descaling solution according to its instructions.
  • Let the solution soak for at least 30 minutes, or boil it if the limescale is severe.
  • Discard the solution and rinse the interior thoroughly several times with fresh water.
  • Boil fresh water 2-3 times and discard to remove any residual vinegar taste.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, ensure the kettle is clean, dry, and stored in a cool, dry place. Use the provided storage bag for dust protection.
