2.2. Before using your kettle
For the first time to use or no use for a long time, it is recommended that you fill to the
maximum level mark with fresh tap water, boil and empty the kettle at least 2 times to clear
kettle of any tiny particles. Do not drink such water.
3. PREPARING YOUR APPLIANCE
Press the lid opening button on the lid.
Remove the kettle from the base to the filling place. Fill the kettle with desired
amount (no less than the minimum amount 0.5L and no more than the maximum
0.8L).
Place the kettle back on the power base.
Connect the plug into a power outlet (220-240V, AC); switch the kettle on by pressing
the switch on. The light will illuminate to indicate the kettle is heating. The kettle will
automatically switch off once the water has boiled and the light goes off.
Lift the kettle from the base, and you can pour out the water into a container.
4. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
4.1. Cleaning the kettle
To prolong the kettle's life, clean the mineral deposits in the kettle regularly.
To avoid any danger, always unplug from the plug socket and allow it to cool down before
cleaning.
Do not use chemical, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the kettle, as
these will scratch the surface and fade the outside colour.
1.
Fill the kettle with 0.5L white vinegar and the remainder with water and allow
it to stand for over 1 hour.
2.
Empty the solution from the kettle. Wipe off the deposits remained with
damp cloth.
3.
Fill the kettle with clean water, bring to boil and then discard the water.
Repeat and the kettle will be ready to use.
4.
If necessary, repeat the operations above for several times.
5.
The surface of the kettle may be wiped over with a damp cloth and polished
with a soft dry cloth.
4.2. Decalcification
After a period of time, calcareous deposits accumulate on the inside of the kettle. This is
normal, although an excessive amount of lime may affect the proper functioning of the
kettle. If this should occur, use a commercially-available decalcifying solution. Never try to
decalcify the kettle by chipping away or scratching.
