The Capacity of the kettle is 1.8 liters, allowing for a substantial volume of water to be boiled at once. The manufacturer reserves the right to change text and technical specifications, as noted in the manual.

Usage Features

Before First Use: Before initial use, users are instructed to remove all packaging materials from the kettle and its base. To ensure cleanliness and remove any manufacturing residues, the kettle should be filled to the maximum water mark with clean water, boiled, and then emptied. This process should be repeated 2 to 3 times. After these initial cycles, the kettle is ready for regular use.

Operating the Kettle:

Cord Management: The power cord length can be adjusted by pushing it into the groove in the base, which should be placed on a stable, even, and clean surface.
Filling: The kettle can be filled with water either through the spout or by lifting the lid. To open the lid, the safety lid lock (A④) must be pressed. It is crucial that the water level is at least the minimum mark (0.5 L) and does not exceed the maximum mark (1.8 L).
- Warning: Never fill the kettle while it is on its base. Overfilling can cause boiling water to splash out.
Placement: After filling, the kettle should be placed on its base, and the power plug inserted into an electrical socket. Ensure the lid is securely closed.
Starting: The kettle is started by moving the I/O switch (A⑦) to position I (On). A power On light will illuminate, indicating operation.
- Attention: Do not operate the kettle when empty, as this can negatively impact its lifespan. If accidentally turned on without water, the thermostat will interrupt the circuit, and the power On light will turn off. The kettle can be used again after a few minutes once the stainless steel bottom has cooled.
Automatic Shut-off: The kettle automatically switches off once the water boils, and the power On light will extinguish. Users should verify automatic shut-off before removing the kettle from its base. If it hasn't turned off automatically, it can be manually switched off by moving the switch to position 0 (Off). Operation can be interrupted at any time by moving the switch to position 0 (Off).
Pouring: When pouring boiled water, keep the kettle in a horizontal position, especially when full, to prevent scalding from escaping steam. If refilling, empty the kettle completely before opening the lid to avoid steam burns.
Post-Use: After use, disconnect the power cord from the socket, empty the kettle, and allow it to cool down.

Safety Warnings:

Child Safety: The appliance can be used by children aged 8 and older, and by individuals with physical, mental impairments, or lack of experience, provided they are supervised and informed about safe use and potential dangers. Cleaning and maintenance by the user should not be performed by children younger than 8 years old unless supervised. Keep the appliance and its power cord out of reach of children younger than 8. Children must not play with the appliance.
Power Cord: If the power cord is damaged, it must be repaired by a professional service center to prevent hazards. Do not use the appliance with a damaged power cord.
Water Contact: Never wash the appliance under running water or submerge it in water or any other liquid.
Overfilling: Overfilling the kettle can cause boiling water to splash out.
Lid Operation: Do not open the lid while the kettle is running and water is boiling, as this poses a scalding risk.
Electrical Safety: Prevent water or other liquids from splashing onto the power plug or socket, and keep hot steam away. If contact occurs, disengage the circuit breaker, then carefully dry the socket and plug before further use.
Food Contact Surfaces: Surfaces that come into contact with food must always be cleaned according to the instructions in the manual.
Residual Heat: The surface of the heating element retains residual heat after use.
Incorrect Use: Incorrect use may lead to injuries.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning the Filters: The kettle includes a removable filter designed to capture scale deposits and prevent them from entering beverages. Regular cleaning of the filter is recommended. This can be done by rinsing it under running water with a fine nylon brush or by submerging it for several hours in a vinegar-water solution (1:2 dilution ratio). After soaking, rinse the filter thoroughly under clean running water.

Cleaning the Kettle: Regular removal of water scale deposits from inside the kettle is crucial for its longevity and performance. The frequency of descaling depends on usage and water hardness:

Hard/Very Hard Water (3-5 uses/day): Once per month.
Soft/Medium Soft Water (3-5 uses/day): Once every two to three months.

Methods for Removing Water Scale Deposits:

8% White Vinegar: Pour 1.5 liters of 8% white vinegar into the kettle and let it sit for 2 hours without boiling. After this, empty the kettle and boil clean water four to five times before further use to remove any vinegar residue.
Citric Acid: Boil 1.5 liters of water in the kettle. Once boiled, add 30g of citric acid to the hot water and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Then, empty the kettle and boil clean water four to five times before further use.

Exterior Cleaning: To clean the exterior of the kettle, use a dry cloth or a cloth dampened with a weak solution of neutral kitchen detergent. After applying the detergent, wipe the surface with a lightly damp cloth, then dry it.

Base Cleaning: The base should only be cleaned with a dry cloth.

General Cleaning Precaution: Never use abrasive cleaning agents, petrol, or solvents to clean the kettle or its base, as these can damage the appliance.
