Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the kettle and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, fill the kettle with clean water to the MAX fill line. Boil the water, then discard it. Repeat this process 2-3 times to remove any manufacturing residues.
3. Placement: Place the power base on a dry, flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure the kettle is not near the edge of a counter or table to prevent accidental tipping.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of your kettle (220-240V, 50/60Hz).

Operating Instructions

1. Fill the Kettle: Open the lid and fill the kettle with the desired amount of fresh water. Do not fill below the MIN mark or above the MAX mark (1.7 Litres). Overfilling may cause boiling water to spill out.
2. Close the Lid: Ensure the lid is securely closed before operating the kettle.
3. Place on Base: Place the kettle firmly onto the power base.
4. Start Boiling: Press the power switch down. The indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the kettle is heating.
5. Automatic Shut-off: The kettle will automatically switch off once the water has boiled. The indicator light will turn off.
6. Pouring: Carefully lift the kettle from the power base and pour the hot water. Be cautious of steam escaping from the spout.
7. Re-boiling: If you need to re-boil, wait a few seconds for the internal thermostat to reset before pressing the power switch again.

Note: The kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection. If it accidentally switches on without water, it will automatically turn off. Allow it to cool down before refilling with cold water.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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

1. Before Cleaning: Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Never immerse the kettle body or power base in water or any other liquid.
3. 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 one part white vinegar and two parts water.
   • Boil the mixture and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer if the scale is heavy.
   • Discard the mixture and rinse the interior thoroughly with fresh water several times.
   • For stubborn deposits, a commercial descaling agent designed for kettles can be used following the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Filter Cleaning: The spout filter can be removed for cleaning. Rinse it under running water and brush gently if necessary. Ensure it is properly re-inserted before use.
5. Storage: When not in use, store the kettle in a clean, dry place. You can wrap the power cord around the cord storage area under the base.
