PARTS & ASSEMBLY

HOW TO OPERATE

Before using for the first time, it is recommended that you clean your 1L WATER KETTLE. Simply boil a full kettle of water and then discard the water. Repeat process once more.

1. First, find a flat surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure your cord is away from any water source.

2. To fill the kettle with water, remove the kettle from the Base, push open the Lid, and fill with the desired amount of water.
   CAUTION: If water exceeds the MAX line (1liter) of water, the boiling water may spill out during the boiling process. Do not fill less than MIN line or run empty as it will shorten product life.

3. Push the Lid back down and position the kettle back on the Base. Make sure the kettle is completely in contact with the Base.

4. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet, then press the switch to the ON position to begin boiling water. The indicator light will illuminate blue.
   NOTE: The kettle will switch off automatically once the water has boiled. You can shut off the power by moving the switch to the OFF position at any moment during the boiling process.

5. When water is done boiling, pour the water from the Spout by lifting the kettle from the Base using the Handle. Take care not to touch the body, as it will be hot.
   CAUTION: Use caution when pouring boiling water from your kettle, as boiling water may result in scalding.

6. The kettle will not re-boil water when returned to the Base. Press the switch to the ON position to begin the boiling process again.

7. When done using, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Power cord stores conveniently in the Base.

HELPFUL TIPS

BOIL-DRY PROTECTION
As a safety measure, your 1L WATER KETTLE is equipped with boil-dry protection. Should you accidentally operate the unit without water, it will automatically switch off. If this occurs, allow the kettle to cool before filling with cold water, and then boil the water.

THE KETTLE AND BLUE INDICATOR LIGHT DO NOT WORK
Make sure the kettle is seated properly on the Base and that the power cord is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Water or debris on the bottom of the kettle or on the Base may interfere with the functioning of the kettle. Be sure the bottom of the kettle and the Base are dry and free of debris.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

1. Make sure the appliance is turned off, unplugged, and completely cooled before cleaning.
2. Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a damp, non-abrasive cloth, taking care to avoid all electrical components. Use a soft cloth to dry.
3. Wipe the interior of the kettle with a wet, non-abrasive cloth or sponge, and dry thoroughly with a soft, non-abrasive towel.
   NOTE: To protect against electrical shock and damaging the appliance, do not immerse the cord, plug, or unit in any liquid. Never place any parts in the dishwasher. Always wash by hand.

Mineral Deposits / Decalcifying
Minerals found in water, such as calcium and limestone, may leave deposits in your kettle. It’s recommended that you occasionally clean the mineral deposits from the interior of your kettle.

1. To clean the mineral deposits from the interior of your kettle, fill the kettle with 3 cups of white vinegar and the remainder with water. Allow the mixture to sit overnight. DO NOT BOIL.
2. Empty the solution from the kettle.
3. Any stains remaining inside the spout can be removed by rubbing with a damp, non-abrasive cloth.
4. Lastly, fill the kettle with clean water, bring to a boil, and then discard. Repeat once more. Now your 1L WATER KETTLE is ready to use again.
