Clean your electric kettle before first use
- Wash the inside of the kettle and lid with mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly. Do not immerse the kettle or power base in water or any other liquid. These items are not dishwasher safe.
- Fill the electric kettle with fresh water to the “MAX” water level mark on water window. Boil the water, following the directions below for use of your specific kettle.
- When the water and unit have cooled, discard the water. Rinse with cold water and repeat.
- Your electric kettle is now ready for use.
Using your Cordless Electric Kettle
- Position the power base on a flat, heat resistant surface, as close as possible to a power outlet.
- Be sure the power cord is routed through the slot provided in the power base. Proper cord routing will result in the power base laying flat when kettle is placed in base. DO not operate kettle if power base is not flat. Remove kettle from power base and repeat cord placement instructions.
- To fill with water, open the lid. Fill the kettle with water up to the “MAX” water level mark on the water window. NOTE: Do not exceed the “MAX” water level mark indicated on the water window. Replace the kettle onto the power base.
- Plug the electric cord into an electric outlet. Turn the switch ON by pushing down on the on/off switch. The on/off light will light to indicate the unit is on. The water will heat and the electric kettle will switch off automatically when the water has boiled. NOTE: Ensure the ON/OFF switch is clear of obstructions and the lid is firmly closed. The electric kettle will not turn off automatically if the ON/OFF switch is constrained, or if the lid is left open.
- Carefully lift the kettle from the power base and pour the boiling water.
NOTE: The kettle will not re-boil until the on/off switch is again switched ON. Wait 15-20 seconds, allowing kettle to cool down, then swtich ON.
Filter removal/cleaning/refitting
Important: The kettle must be switched off, disconnected from the power outlet and allowed to cool down completely prior to removing or refitting the filter. Do not use excessive force, as this might damage the filter or the lid.
- Empty the kettle and open lid.
- Hold lid open with one hand and grip the top part of the filter with index finger and thumb. Caution: Keep fingers clear of mesh. Pressing into mesh may damage filter.
- To remove filter simply pull upwards. This will disengage the filter from its guides (see illustration).
- To clean the filter, rinse under a tap while brushing it gently with a soft brush.
- To refit filter, once again hold lid open with one hand and filter with index finger and thumb. Gently push filter back into the kettle until it fits snugly in its guides.
- Rinse out kettle with fresh water and it’s ready for use.
Care and cleaning of your electric kettle
- Mineral deposits in tap water may cause scale deposits to form inside the electric kettle after frequent use. To remove this scale build-up, fill the kettle with a solution of 1 cup of white vinegar and 1 cup water. Let sit overnight.
- Empty the vinegar solution from the kettle. Remove any stain remaining inside by rubbing with a damp cloth.
- Fill the kettle with clean water. Place kettle on power base and bring to a boil, then discard water. Repeat and the kettle will be ready to use.
- The kettle will not operate again until the on/off switch is pressed upward.
- Always remove kettle from power base and disconnect power base from electrical outlet before cleaning. Do not immerse kettle or power base in water or any other liquid.
