Initial Cleaning

Keep Warm Function

Activate the keep warm function to maintain the water at your selected temperature for up to 30 minutes. This is useful if you need to postpone your beverage preparation.

Baby Food Preparation and Sterilization

The kettle can be used to prepare baby food by heating water to the appropriate temperature and keeping it warm. Additionally, it can sterilize pacifiers and bottles by boiling water at 100°C for five minutes.

Automatic Power Shutdown

The kettle features an automatic power shutdown for safety, turning off once the water has reached the selected temperature or boiled.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning the Kettle

Always unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. The glass body and exterior can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the kettle or its base in water. The tea strainer and drip tray can be hand washed with mild detergent.

Product Care Instructions: Hand wash.

Descaling

Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may accumulate inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. To descale, use a commercial descaling solution suitable for electric kettles, following the product instructions. Alternatively, a solution of white vinegar and water (1:2 ratio) can be used. Fill the kettle with the descaling solution, bring it to a boil, let it stand for an hour, then rinse thoroughly multiple times with fresh water.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ZWILLING Electric Kettle, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Kettle does not heat: Ensure the kettle is properly seated on the base and the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
• Water not reaching desired temperature: Verify that the correct temperature setting or tea program has been selected on the control panel. Ensure the lid is closed properly.
• Kettle switches off too soon: This may indicate limescale buildup. Perform a descaling procedure as described in the Maintenance section.
• Unusual noises: Minor boiling noises are normal. Excessive or unusual noises may indicate limescale buildup or improper placement on the base.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact ZWILLING customer support.
