Temperature Control and Boiling
The kettle offers two temperature selection modes:

- 5 Common Temperature Presets: Rotate the main knob to select one of the preset temperatures: 175°F, 185°F, 195°F, 200°F, or 212°F. The selected temperature will be displayed.
- Precise Temperature Control: Press the "MODE" button to switch to precise temperature control. Rotate the main knob to adjust the temperature freely between 100°F and 212°F in 1°F increments.
Once the desired temperature is selected, the kettle will begin heating. The display will show the current water temperature as it heats up. The 1200W heating element allows for rapid boiling, typically heating 0.8L of water in 3-4 minutes.

Mute Function
To turn the beep sound on or off, press and hold the "Mute" button for 3 seconds.
Pouring

Maintenance and Cleaning
CAUTION: 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, as they may scratch the finish.
- Interior: The interior of the kettle is made of 100% food-grade 304 stainless steel. To clean, rinse with water. For mineral deposits (limescale), fill the kettle with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes, or boil the mixture and let it stand for 15-20 minutes. Empty the kettle and rinse thoroughly several times with fresh water.
- Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the kettle or the power base in water or any other liquid.
- Storage: When not in use, store the kettle in a dry place.
