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.

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.

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.
