Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unpack the kettle and remove all packaging materials.
Before first use, wash the glass carafe and the lid with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Place the kettle base on a stable, dry, and level surface near a power outlet.
Fill the kettle with fresh water to the desired level, ensuring it is between the minimum and maximum fill lines indicated inside.
Place the kettle securely onto its base and plug the base into the power outlet.
Compatibility:
Requires a standard AC power outlet.
Designed for use with water only.
Care:
Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle and the base with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the glass or metal surfaces.
Descaling: Hard water can cause mineral deposits to form inside the kettle. To descale, fill the kettle with a mixture of one part white vinegar to two parts water. Let it sit for an hour or two (or overnight for heavy buildup), then boil the mixture. Discard the mixture and rinse the kettle thoroughly several times. You can also use commercial descaling solutions following their specific instructions.
Lid and Filter: The lid can usually be removed for cleaning. If there is a removable filter, clean it gently under running water. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.
