1. Ensure the kettle is filled and placed on the power base.
2. Press the "SET TEMP" button repeatedly to cycle through the available temperature settings. The kettle offers multiple temperature presets for different types of tea and beverages.
3. Once your desired temperature is displayed, press the "START/STOP" button to begin the heating process.
4. The kettle's indicator light will illuminate, and the display will show the current water temperature as it heats up. The tri-color indicator light changes color to indicate heating, ready, and keep warm states.
5. The kettle will automatically shut off once the selected temperature is reached or if the water boils (212°F / 100°C).

Keep Warm Function

After reaching the set temperature, the kettle can maintain the water temperature for a period of time (up to 1 hour) using the Keep Warm function. This function activates automatically after boiling or reaching a set temperature, depending on the model's specific programming.

• The kettle will maintain the temperature for approximately 60 minutes.
• The indicator light may change to a specific color to signify the Keep Warm mode.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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

Daily Cleaning

• Always unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Empty any remaining water.
• Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• The interior of the kettle can be rinsed with water. For stubborn spots, use a soft brush or sponge.
• The removable tea infuser should be rinsed thoroughly after each use. It can also be hand washed with mild dish soap.
• The anti-scale mesh filter can be gently removed and rinsed under running water to clear any mineral deposits.
• Do not immerse the power base, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.

Descaling

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. Descaling regularly will ensure optimal performance.

1. Fill the kettle with 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil.
3. Let the mixture soak in the kettle for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy buildup.
4. Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.
5. If necessary, repeat the process or use a commercial descaling solution designed for kettles, following the product's instructions.
