Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials from the kettle and its base.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the exterior of the kettle and base with a damp cloth or sponge and dry. Wash the inside of the kettle with hot, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Important: Never immerse the kettle or its base in water or other liquids, and do not place in a dishwasher.
3. Placement: Place the power base on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure the power cord is not dangling where it can be pulled or tripped over.
4. First Boil (Cleaning Cycle):
   • Fill the kettle with fresh water up to the MAX fill line (0.6L). Do not overfill.
   • Place the kettle securely on the power base.
   • Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
   • Press the power button to boil the water. Allow the water to come to a full boil and the kettle to automatically shut off.
   • Carefully discard the boiled water. Repeat this process 2-3 times to remove any manufacturing residues and ensure optimal taste.

Operating Instructions

2. Placing on Base: Securely place the kettle back onto the power base. The 360-degree cordless base allows for easy placement from any angle.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will help maintain the performance and longevity of your kettle.

• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle and the power base with a damp cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may damage the finish.
• Interior Cleaning: Wash the inside of the kettle with hot, soapy water and rinse. For stubborn stains or mineral deposits (limescale), use a descaling solution specifically designed for kettles, or a mixture of white vinegar and water.
  • To descale: Fill the kettle with a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water. Let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or boil the solution if deposits are heavy. Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly several times with fresh water.
• Storage: When not in use, ensure the kettle is clean and dry. Store it on its base or in a cool, dry place. The power base has cord storage underneath for neatness.
