Before first use, it is recommended to clean the kettle. Fill the kettle with water to the MAX fill line (1.7L). Bring the water to a boil (212°F) and then discard it. Repeat this process once or twice to ensure the kettle is thoroughly cleaned. The interior can also be washed with hot, soapy water, rinsed, and dried.

Col·locació

Place the power base on a dry, flat, heat-resistant surface. Unwind the power cord from the base to the desired length. The base features a built-in wraparound storage feature to keep any extra cord neatly tucked away, preventing clutter and potential hazards.

Manteniment

Always unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. The exterior can be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may damage the finish. The interior can be cleaned with hot, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly.

Descalcificació

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up inside the kettle over time, especially in hard water areas. To descale:

1. Fill the kettle with a solution of 2 cups of white vinegar and 2 cups of water.
2. Bring the solution to a boil and let it stand for at least 30 minutes, or longer if the buildup is significant.
3. Buideu la tetera i esbandiu-la bé amb aigua neta diverses vegades.
4. Alternatively, use a commercially available descaling solution designed for electric kettles, following the product's instructions.

Emmagatzematge

When not in use, store the kettle on its power base in a dry, clean place. The cord can be wrapped around the base for neat storage.

Resolució de problemes

• Kettle does not heat: Ensure the kettle is properly seated on its base and the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the "START/STOP" button has been pressed.
• Kettle shuts off prematurely: This may indicate a boil-dry safety feature activation if there was insufficient water. Ensure water levels are between MIN and MAX lines.
• Water tastes unusual: Perform initial cleaning steps again. Descale the kettle if mineral buildup is present.
• La tapa és difícil d'obrir: The lid may be stiff when new. It should loosen with regular use.
