BEFORE USING YOUR KETTLE
If you are using the kettle for the first time, it is recommended that you
clean your kettle before use by boiling a full kettle of water twice and then
discarding the water.
OPERATION OF YOUR KETTLE
-
Pour out left over water from previous boiling cycle and fill with the desired amount of fresh water to the water kettle. Make water directly run through the water inlet at the center of the lid (the strong water flow can push the cover of the water inlet to open automatically), or open the lid and fill with the desired amount of water to the water kettle. Always fill the kettle between the minimum (0.5L) and maximum (1.5L) marks. Too little water will result in the kettle switching off before the water has boiled.
NOTE: Do not fill the water over the maximum level, as water may spill out of the spout when boiling. Ensure that the lid is firmly in place before connecting the power cord to the outlet. -
Connect the plug into a power outlet. Press the On/Off switch downwards. The kettle starts to boil the water. The LED light will be shining in blue. The kettle will switch off automatically once the water has boiled. You can shut off the power by pressing the switch upwards at any moment during boiling water. NOTE: Ensure that switch is clear off obstructions and the lid is firmly closed all the time throughout the boiling cycle. The kettle will not turn off if the switch is constrained and scalding may occur if the lid is open.
-
Once the water boils, wait 10 seconds before pouring out water to prevent hot steam from exiting through the lid of the kettle. Lift the kettle then pour the water.
NOTE: operate carefully when pouring the water from your kettle as boiling water will scald. -
The kettle will not re-boil until the switch is pressed again. Allow to cool for 30~40 seconds before reopening to boil water. Never re-boil water older than 2 hours.
NOTE: Ensure power supply is turned off when kettle is not in use. -
Should you accidentally allow the kettle to operate without water; the boil-dry protection will automatically switch it off. If this occurs, allow the kettle to cool before filling with cold water and re-boiling.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Always let the kettle cool down first and disconnect the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
- Never immerse the kettle area or cord in water, or allow moisture to contact with these parts.
- To clean the filter: open the lid; rinse the filter with running water and then dry it.
Cleaning appearance of housing:
