HOW TO USE

Before the first use and after a long period without use of the kettle, we recommend filling it with fresh water up to the upper level, bringing it to a boil then pouring it out to in order to remove any minor impurities from the kettle. Do this two times. Do not drink this water.

1. Turn the knob to open the cover

2. Remove the kettle from the base. Fill the kettle with the required volume of water (not less than the minimum volume and not more than the maximum volume.) Close the cover and place the kettle on the base.

3. Control buttons – display
   After connecting the cable to the socket, an E is displayed, which signals the connection of the supply (the kettle is not on the base).

4. After connecting the kettle, a long beep sounds and a C sign is shown on the display for about 3 seconds. The kettle is now switched into standby mode; in the left upper corner of the display is a 1, which indicates the initial regime while the actual temperature is shown on the display.

5. Press button #1 once in standby mode; the button will light up indicating the tea preparation mode with a 1 shown in the left upper corner of the display. Within 5 seconds, use buttons # 2, # 3 kind of tea “1, 2, 3, 4, 5”. The numbers have the following meaning:

Within 5 seconds set the temperature and the available range with buttons #2 and #3: 50–100. Press button #1 three times to enter the time setting mode; the initial time is 3 minutes and within 5 seconds, press buttons #2 and #3 to start the time for the preparation of tea, available range: 1 ~ 15. Press button #1 four times to return to the menu for heating the water for the stated temperature after the temperature has been maintained; when the set temperature is shown, press button #1 to switch to set the time for the preparation of tea.

The digital display shows a target temperature of 3s, then the display shows the actual temperature in the process of heating the water (further pressing button #4 will pause the heating and switch to standby mode). After reaching the target temperature, 3 beeps will sound and button #1 will light up and the kettle is switched into the thermal insulation status.
    The tea can now be put into the boiled water; press button #4 to prepare tea according to the previously set time within the range 1 ~ 15. During the preparation of tea, press button #4 again to pause heating the water so the kettle is switched into standby mode. (the status of boiled tea is shown on the display)
