Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the kettle and its power base from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, fill the kettle with clean water to the maximum fill line. Boil the water, then discard it. Repeat this process 2-3 times to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Placement: Place the power base on a dry, flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure the power cord is not dangling where it can be pulled or tripped over.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet (120V/60Hz).
Operating Instructions
- Filling the Kettle: Remove the lid by pulling it upwards. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of fresh, cold water. Do not fill below the minimum mark or above the maximum mark. For a single cup, use the "1 CUP" marking inside.
- Replacing the Lid: Securely place the lid back onto the kettle.
- Placing on Base: Position the kettle onto its power base.
- Starting Boil: Push the On/Off switch lever downwards. The indicator light will illuminate, signifying that the kettle is heating.
- Automatic Shut-Off: The kettle will automatically turn off once the water reaches a rolling boil. The indicator light will extinguish, and the switch will return to the upright position.
- Pouring: Carefully lift the kettle from the base and pour the hot water using the gooseneck spout for controlled flow.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Anfilank Electric Gooseneck Kettle.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they may damage the finish.
- Interior Cleaning (Descaling): Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas.
- Fill the kettle with a mixture of 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water.
- Boil the mixture and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer for heavy buildup.
- Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.
- For stubborn deposits, gently scrub the interior with a soft brush or sponge.
- Alternatively, use a commercial descaling product designed for kettles, following the product's instructions.
- Drying: After each use, it is recommended to empty any remaining water and leave the lid open to allow the interior to air dry. This helps prevent limescale buildup and maintains cleanliness.
- Storage: When not in use, store the kettle in a dry place. You can wrap the power cord around the base for neat storage.
