Operating instructions
It is recommended that you boil the kettle several times following the below instruction
and discard the water before rst use. This will remove any material or dust remains in the
appliance, which arise during the manufacturing process.
1. Open the lid by pulling up the knob, and ll the kettle with water.
Then close the lid (the automatic power cut-o function will not work
with the lid open).
Caution: The water level must be between the “Max” and “Min” level as indicated
inside the kettle. Too little water will do damage to the heat element and too
much water could boil over!
2. Place the kettle on the power base before connecting the power supply. Place
the kettle in a way that the spout of the kettle is facing away from you.
3. Press the switch to “I” position and the power indicator light will switch on. The
water will begin to heat up. DO NOT open the lid or pour while the water
is boiling.
Caution: Ensure that the power switch is clear of obstructions and the lid is
rmly closed. The kettle will not turn o if the switch is constrained or if the lid is
left open.
4. Power will be cut o automatically and the power switch will return to the “0”
position once water has boiled. The power indicator light will turn o.
5. Lift the kettle from the power base and then pour the water.
Note: Handle carefully when pouring the water from your kettle, as boiling
water can scald.
6. The boiling process can be terminated at any time by lifting the kettle o the
power base or pressing the power switch to the “0” position.
Caution: Never operate the kettle empty. In the event of this happening, the
thermal cut-o inside the kettle would operate and cut o power automatically.
Unplug the appliance and let it completely cool down for half an hour before
lling it and trying to boil water again.
Note: Ensure the power is turned o while the kettle is not in use.
