• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

Setup

Unpacking:

Carefully remove all packaging materials from the kettle and toaster. Ensure all components are present and undamaged. Dispose of packaging responsibly.

Initial Cleaning:

Before first use, wipe the exterior of both appliances with a damp cloth. For the kettle, fill it with fresh water to the MAX line, boil, then discard the water. Repeat this process 2-3 times to remove any manufacturing residues. For the toaster, operate it empty on the highest setting a few times to burn off any manufacturing odors. Ensure adequate ventilation during this process.

Placement:

Place both appliances on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from the edge of the countertop. Ensure there is sufficient space around the appliances for ventilation, especially above the toaster to allow heat to escape. Keep away from curtains or other flammable materials.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Always unplug both appliances from the power outlet and allow them to cool completely before cleaning.

Exterior Cleaning:

Wipe the exterior surfaces of the kettle and toaster with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Ensure no water enters the electrical components.

Kettle Descaling:

Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, affecting performance. To descale:

1. Fill the kettle with a mixture of one part white vinegar and two parts water, or use a commercial descaling solution according to its instructions.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil and then let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer if scale is heavy.
3. Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.
4. The removable filter can also be cleaned by rinsing under running water and gently brushing away any deposits.

Toaster Crumb Tray:

To prevent crumb buildup and potential fire hazards, regularly empty the crumb tray.

1. Ensure the toaster is unplugged and completely cool.
2. Pull out the removable crumb tray located at the bottom of the toaster.
3. Discard crumbs and wipe the tray clean with a damp cloth.
4. Slide the crumb tray back into place until it locks securely.
