BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Remove all of the various packaging, stickers or accessories from both the inside and outside of the kettle. Fill the kettle with clean water to maximum capacity and boil. Discard the water and repeat the process. The kettle should always be unplugged when adding water.

Fill the kettle with water to desired level. Do not overfill in order to avoid spillage or overflow. The water level indicator will assist you to measure the correct amount. You can fill the kettle via the spout or through the lid opening.

An automatic safety shut-off feature is in place to protect against overheating. If there is insufficient water in the kettle it will shut off. Do not fill below minimum line (MIN / 0.4L) to prevent kettle from operating dry. Do not fill above maximum line (MAX / 0.8L).

If the kettle automatically shuts off, switch the kettle off, disconnect from the power outlet and allow the kettle to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes. Then refill and switch on, the kettle will work as normal.
