Operating Instructions

2. Place the kettle on power base making sure it is affixed securely.
3. Plug the power base cord into a 120V or 220V AG wall outlet. The unit
will emit an audible signal; the display screen will flash 'C' twice and
display the current water temperature in Celsius.
4. Automatic shutdown:In the standby state, the device will shut down
all displays if there is no operation within three minutes.
5. Heat preservation time:The time limit of heat preservation is two
hours;
6. Temperature selection:
1.The range of heating temperature selection is 40-100°C.
2.The range of heat preservation temperature is 40-90°C.
7. Heating:
1.While switching on, if water temperature is greater than set tempera-
ture, the device will stop heating and automatically enter the heat
preservation state.
2.If water temperature rises to set temperature, the device will stop
heating and automatically enter the heat preservation state.

1. Push the button on the handle to open the lid and
fill the kettle with a minimum of 0.5 litres of water.
To avoid the risk of splashing while pouring hot water, make sure the lid is
securely closed onto the kettle before operation.

11.Power-on display:
When the power is on, the nixie tube is fully bright for around 0.5 second
and the device enters the standby state.
12.Temperature display:
1.The device displays real-time water temperature in standby/heating state;
2.When temperature selection/or operation begins, light always-on displays
set temperature for about one second, but the device will display current
temperature without any operation while the light flickers again for about 1.5
seconds;
When the power is on, the default temperature target is 100°C or the
temperature target during the operation in the previous time.
In the non-temperature setting state, press “ ” to display the current
temperature target and enter the temperature setting state.
8.Heat preservation:
1.When water is boiling and enters the heat preservation state, the device
will start timing of heat preservation;
2.During heat preservation, the error between display temperature and
actual temperature is required to be controlled within ±5°C;
3.When (set temperature - 10) ≤ water temperature ≤ (set temperature - 2),
the device will launch adjustable power heating (if the highest temperature
is 1°C higher than set temperature during the previous heat preservation,
the adjustable power ratio is 3/35; in other cases, the ratio is 4/25); When
water temperature > (set temperature - 10), the adjustable power ratio is
8/25.
9. Mode selection:
Button “ ”: Heat water to set temperature and automatically enter the heat
preservation state;
Button “ ”: Heat water to 100°C (boiling) and automatically enter the
standby state;

seconds, the electric kettle status will be in line with that before it is lifted;
otherwise, it will be in the standby state.
16.Dry burning protection:
After dry burning, the dry burning piece of the temperature controller will
pop up and conduct automatic protection.
17.Time-limited protection:
If the boiling time s greater than or equal to about 15 minutes, the operation
will be comprehensively finished;
If temperature does not rise in more than three minutes during water boiling,
the device will enter the shutdown state.
