Rapid Heating

This image depicts the kettle with water visibly boiling inside, highlighting its 1200W fast heating capability. The display shows the temperature and a timer, indicating that the kettle can heat water to 212°F in approximately 5 minutes. Icons for boil-dry protection and 1200W fast heating are also visible.

The 1200W heating element allows the kettle to heat water quickly. For example, 0.8L of water can reach 212°F (100°C) in approximately 5 minutes.

Keep Warm Function

After reaching the target temperature, the kettle can maintain the desired temperature for up to 12 hours. This function is automatically activated when a specific temperature is set (e.g., Coffee mode).

Integrated Timer

It is shown alongside a pour-over coffee setup, emphasizing its utility for precise extraction control during brewing. This feature offers convenience and efficiency compared to manual time monitoring.

The integrated timer function allows you to monitor brew time directly on the screen, ensuring perfect extraction every time for a consistently delicious brew. This timer is independent of the heating function and can be used to time your pour-over process.

Cleaning and Maintenance

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

• Always unplug the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the kettle and the power base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

  1. Fill the kettle with 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it stand for 30 minutes.
  3. Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.
