Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
- Read all instructions before using the kettle.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against fire, electric shock, and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plugs, or electric kettle in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off,” then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
- Always ensure the lid is securely closed during operation.
- Do not overfill the kettle above the MAX fill line to prevent boiling water from spilling out.
- Ensure the kettle is placed on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.

Setup
Before First Use:
- Remove all packaging materials and labels from the kettle and its base.
- Wipe the exterior of the kettle and the power base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.
- Fill the kettle with clean water to the MAX (1.7L) level.
- Boil the water as described in the 'Operating Instructions' section.
- Discard the boiled water. 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, away from the edge of the counter and out of reach of children. Ensure the power cord is not dangling or touching hot surfaces.
Operating Instructions
- Fill the Kettle: Press the button on the handle to open the lid. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of fresh water, ensuring it is between the MIN (0.5L) and MAX (1.7L) markings. Close the lid securely until it clicks.
- Place on Base: Place the kettle firmly onto its power base.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
- Start Boiling: Press the On/Off switch located on the handle downwards. The LED indicator inside the kettle will illuminate, indicating that the kettle is heating.
- Automatic Shut-Off: The kettle will automatically turn off once the water has reached a rolling boil. The LED indicator will extinguish.
- Pouring: Carefully lift the kettle from its base and pour the hot water. Always pour slowly and steadily to avoid splashing.
- Re-boiling: If you need to re-boil water, wait a few seconds for the automatic shut-off mechanism to reset, then press the On/Off switch again.
Boil-Dry Protection: This kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection. If the kettle is accidentally switched on without water or with insufficient water, it will automatically turn off to prevent damage. If this occurs, allow the kettle to cool down for 15-20 minutes before refilling with cold water and restarting.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your Aigostar Electric Glass Kettle.
General Cleaning:
- Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet 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.
- The power base should only be wiped with a damp cloth. Never immerse the power base in water.
- The removable filter in the spout can be rinsed under running water. If heavily scaled, gently brush it with a soft brush.

Descaling (Removing Limescale):
Limescale can build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas, affecting performance and taste. Descale your kettle regularly (e.g., monthly or as needed).
- Fill the kettle with 3 tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon juice and water to the 0.5L mark.
- Boil the solution.
- After boiling, let the solution stand in the kettle for 5-8 hours, or overnight, to dissolve mineral deposits.
- Discard the solution and rinse the kettle thoroughly with fresh water several times.
- If necessary, repeat the process until all limescale is removed.
