- Do not fill the kettle with less than 0.5 liters of water (to “min” indication) to prevent the kettle from running dry while operating.
- Do not fill with more than 1.7 liters of water (to “max” indication)
- An automatic safety cut-out has been fitted for protection against overheating. it will operate when the kettle is switched on and it contains insufficient water.
- Always ensure the water inside the kettle covers the minimum mark on the water level indicator gauge. If the automatic safety cut-out has operated, switch the kettle off, disconnect it from the power outlet, and allow the kettle to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes. Then refill and switch on, and the kettle will work as usual.
- Place the power base on a dry, flat surface. Place the kettle on the power base. The electrical connection will be made automatically as the kettle slides onto the power base.

- Plug the cord set into a grounded power socket and switch it on by pushing the switch of the kettle to the “on” position.
- When the water has boiled, the kettle will switch off automatically. After allowing the kettle to cool down for 15-20 seconds, the water can be brought back to boil by pushing the switch back to the “on” position. During the cooling down time do not force the on/off switch into the “on” position as this can damage the operating mechanism.

CLEANING AND CARE
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR KETTLE
- Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. Remove stubborn spots with a cloth moistened with mild liquid detergent.
- Do not use abrasive scouring pads or powers.
- Never immerse the kettle in water or other liquids.
- From time to time, depending on the nature of your water supply, a boiled scale deposit will naturally form and will be found mostly adhered to the heating element, thus reducing the heating efficiency.
- The amount of boiled scale deposited (and subsequently the need to clean or rescale) largely depends on the water hardness in your area and the frequency with which the kettle is used.
- Boiled scale is not harmful to your health. But if poured into your beverage, it can give a powdery taste to your drink. Therefore, the kettle should be descaled periodically as indicated below.
DESCALING
Descale kettle regularly. With normal use, descale at least twice a year.
- Fill the kettle up to “max” with a mixture of one part ordinary vinegar and two parts water. Switch on and wait for the appliance to switch off automatically.
- Let the mixture remain inside the kettle overnight.
- Discard the mixture the next morning.
- Fill the kettle with clean water up to the “max” mark and boil again. Discard the boiled water to remove any remaining scale and vinegar.
- Rinse the inside of the kettle with clean water.
