BEFORE THE FIRST USE
It is recommended that the water kettle be rinsed with water prior to use to remove any
material or dust in the appliance from the manufacturing process.
OPERATION
1. Open the top cover lid by pulling the lid upwards and fill water into the kettle. Do
not overfill. If the kettle is overfilled there is a risk of spillage or spitting of boiling
water. The water level indicator will assist you to measure correct amount of water.
Caution: The filled water level must be between the Max and Min level as indicated
on the housing. Too less water will do damage to the heating element.
2. Replace the kettle on the base and connect to power supply. Position the kettle so
that the spout of kettle is facing away from you.
3. Turn on kettle by pressing down the switch. Once switch is pressed down the lamp
will be illuminated and water will begin to heat up. Do not remove the lid while the
water is boiling.
4. Once water is boiled the switch will flip up, the light indicator will turn off and the
power will turn off automatically.
5. The boiling process can be terminated at any time by lifting the kettle off the base.
6. Unit should be unplugged when not in use.

seconds. Repeat procedure for a third time. Empty, rinse well and continue to use
