5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Hand wash only. The Stagg EKG Pro is not dishwasher safe.
• Mineral Deposit Removal: Regularly remove mineral deposits that may form on the bottom of the kettle. This is a natural occurrence for electric water kettles. Use a descaling solution or a mixture of vinegar and water, following the product's instructions.
• Exterior Care: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Fellow Stagg EKG Pro kettle, please refer to the following general troubleshooting steps:

• Kettle Not Heating: Ensure the kettle is properly seated on its base and the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the power button has been pressed.
• Inaccurate Temperature Reading: Verify that the correct temperature unit (Fahrenheit or Celsius) is selected. If operating at high altitudes, ensure the altitude setting is correctly configured via the kettle's menu or app.
• Water Not Reaching Desired Temperature: Confirm that the desired temperature is set correctly. If mineral buildup is present, perform a descaling cycle as described in the maintenance section.
• Kettle Leaking: Ensure the lid is securely placed and the kettle is not overfilled beyond the maximum fill line.
