Safety Measures and Operation Recommendations

Read the operation instructions carefully before using the electric kettle and keep them for future reference.

General Safety:

• Use the electric kettle only for its intended purpose as described in this manual.
• Mishandling the kettle can lead to breakage and cause harm or property damage, which is not covered by warranty.
• The kettle is intended solely for heating and boiling drinking water; do not heat or boil any other liquids.
• Ensure the operating voltage indicated on the label matches your home mains voltage.
• The power plug has a grounding contact; plug it into a socket with reliable grounding. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock in case of a short circuit.
• Consult an electrician if you are unsure about the proper installation and grounding of your sockets.
• To prevent fire, do not use adapters for connecting the plug to sockets without grounding contacts.
• If sparking occurs in the socket or a burning smell is present, unplug the unit and contact your home electrical service provider.
• If smoke appears from the kettle body, unplug the unit and take fire prevention measures.
• Do not use the electric kettle outdoors.
• It is not recommended to use the unit during lightning storms.
• Do not place foreign objects on the kettle flask.
• Protect the unit from impacts, falls, vibrations, and other mechanical stress.
• Never leave a plugged-in electric kettle unattended.
• Do not use the electric kettle near sinks, in bathrooms, near swimming pools, or other water-filled containers.
• Do not use the electric kettle near heating appliances, heat sources, or open flames.
• Do not use the electric kettle in areas where aerosols are used or sprayed, or near flammable liquids.
• Place the electric kettle on a flat, stable surface, not on the edge of a table. Ensure the power cord does not hang from the edge and does not touch hot surfaces or sharp furniture edges.
• Do not direct the kettle spout towards wooden furniture, books, or objects that can be damaged by moisture or hot steam.
• Do not touch the power cord or plug with wet hands.

Safe Operation:

• Do not switch the kettle on without water. After filling, close the lid tightly.
• Ensure the water level does not exceed the maximum mark "MAX". Exceeding the MAX mark can cause boiling water to splash out.
• To avoid burns from hot steam, do not lean over the kettle spout.
• Do not open the kettle lid while the water is boiling.
• The kettle surface can become very hot. Handle with caution and care when touching heated surfaces. Always use the handle.
• Be careful when carrying the kettle filled with boiling water. Pour water out carefully, do not tilt the kettle sharply, as careless use can cause burns from hot water.
• Unplug the kettle before cleaning or when not in use. When unplugging, hold only the plug and remove it carefully from the socket; do not pull the power cord, as this can damage the cord or socket, or cause a short circuit.
• To prevent electric shock, do not immerse the electric kettle or its base in water or any other liquids.
• Do not wash the electric kettle in a dishwasher.
• For child safety, do not leave packaging materials (e.g., polyethylene bags) unattended.

Child Safety:

• ⚠️ Do not allow children to play with polyethylene bags or packaging film. Danger of suffocation!
• The electric kettle is not intended for use by children.
• Supervise children to prevent them from using the appliance as a toy.
• Do not allow children to touch the unit or power cord during operation.
• Keep the unit out of reach of children during operation and cooling.
• This unit is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, mental, or sensory capabilities (including children) or persons lacking experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised by someone responsible for their safety or have been instructed on its use.

Maintenance and Checks:

• Periodically check the condition of the power cord, plug, and kettle body.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service center, or similarly qualified personnel to avoid hazards.
• Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Do not disassemble the unit. If any malfunction occurs or if the unit has been dropped, unplug it and contact a service center.

Preparing the Kettle for Use

• Place the kettle's base (9) on a solid, stable, flat, non-slip, non-metallic surface away from heat sources and the edge of the surface.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Before cleaning, unplug the kettle, empty it, and let it cool down.

• Do not immerse the kettle, base (9), or power cord in water or other liquids. Do not wash the kettle in a dishwasher.

Descaling

Scale buildup inside the flask (1) affects water taste, disrupts heat exchange, and can damage the heating element. Damage due to scale is not covered by warranty.

• Use special descaling agents or household items like vinegar or citric acid.
• To descale with vinegar: Fill the flask (1) one-third with water and boil. Open the lid (3), add table vinegar (6-9%) up to the "MAX" mark, and leave for several hours. After scale dissolves, empty and rinse the flask (1) multiple times. Boil water several times to remove vinegar smell.
• To descale with citric acid: Dissolve 25g of citric acid in 500ml of hot water. Fill the kettle with the solution and leave for 15-20 minutes. After scale dissolves, empty and rinse the flask (1) multiple times. Boil water several times.
• Follow instructions carefully when using special descalers for kettles or coffee machines.
• Clean the kettle from scale regularly.
