lid (the automatic power cut-o function will not work with the lid open).
2. 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!

To maintain the kettle in a good working order, it needs to be de-scaled frequently. Here
are a few methods for doing this:

2. Add 0.5L white vinegar to the kettle, let it soak for an hour then drain it from the
kettle. Rinse the kettle out with clean water at least 5x after doing so.

and then rinse the kettle at least 5 times with clean water.

on the kettle.

kettle.
• If the kettle was empty and it
dry-combusted then ll the kettle
with water and the kettle should re-
set after 2 minutes.

• Check your connection.
• Check your electric cord for dam-
age. If damaged you must get a
replacement cord from the dealer.
3There is a peculiar smell in the
kettle.
• This phenomenon usually happens
with a new kettle.
• If the smell persists, ll your kettle to
the max with water, add 2 table-
spoons of bicarbonate and bring
the water to the boil. Rinse well.
4The kettle inside is dirty o r has
scale.
If your local water is hard this can cause
