4. Repetiu aquest procés dues o tres vegades per eliminar qualsevol residu de fabricació.

4.3 Placing the Power Base

Place the power base on a dry, flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from the edge of the countertop. Ensure the power cord is not dangling or in contact with hot surfaces.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Omplir la tetera

Press the button on the lid to open it gently. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of fresh, cold water. Observe the water level indicator to ensure the water is between the 'MIN' and 'MAX' marks. Close the lid firmly until it clicks into place.

5.2 Placing on the Power Base

Place the kettle securely onto its 360-degree swivel power base. The kettle can be placed in any orientation on the base.

5.3 Encès

Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Push the power switch lever downwards. The indicator light will illuminate, signifying that the kettle is heating the water.

5.4 Apagada automàtica

The kettle will automatically switch off once the water reaches boiling point. The indicator light will turn off, and the power switch lever will return to its original position. The kettle will also automatically shut off if it is lifted from the base during operation.

5.5 Abocament

Carefully lift the kettle from its base and pour the hot water. Exercise caution as steam and hot water can cause burns. The soft-opening lid prevents sudden steam release when refilling.

6. Manteniment i Neteja

Una neteja i un manteniment regulars allargaran la vida útil de la teva tetera.

6.1 Neteja de l'exterior

Netegeu l'exterior de la tetera amb un damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Ensure the kettle is unplugged and cool before cleaning.

6.2 Cleaning the Limescale Filter

The removable stainless steel limescale filter should be cleaned regularly, especially in areas with hard water.

1. Assegureu-vos que la tetera estigui desendollada i freda.
2. Open the lid and carefully remove the filter from the spout.
3. Rinse the filter under running water and gently brush away any limescale deposits.
4. Reinsert the filter securely into the spout.

6.3 Descalcificació

Limescale buildup can affect performance and taste. Descale your kettle regularly (monthly or more often depending on water hardness).

• Use a commercially available descaling solution suitable for kettles, following the product's instructions.
• Alternatively, you can use a solution of white vinegar and water (e.g., 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water). Fill the kettle with the solution, let it stand for an hour (do not boil), then discard.
• After descaling, rinse the kettle thoroughly several times with fresh water to remove any residue or odor.

6.4 Emmagatzematge

When not in use, store the kettle in a clean, dry place. Ensure the power cord is neatly wrapped around the cord storage area under the base, if available.
