This electric kettle is designed for heating and keeping water warm. Before first use, remove all packaging, clean the interior, and boil water twice (filling to the MAX mark) to remove production residues; discard this water. Always ensure the water level is between the MIN and MAX marks before switching on. The device features 6 temperature settings (40, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 °C) and a keep-warm function.

The kettle consists of the following main parts:

- 1: Anti-limescale filter
- 2: Spout
- 3: Lid release button
- 4: Lid
- 5: Control elements

Installation
Place the device on a stable, level, heat-resistant, and dry surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm of clearance from flammable walls or objects. Connect the power cord to a single, properly grounded outlet. Do not use multi-socket adapters.
Operation
Boiling Water: Fill the tank with fresh water (up to MAX), close the lid, and place the kettle on the base. The display will light up for 2 seconds showing 100 °C. Press the Start/Stop button to begin. The base of the tank will light up blue during heating. The device switches off automatically when finished.

Temperature Settings: Press the temperature setting button repeatedly to select 40, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 °C. Press Start/Stop to begin heating.
Keep Warm Function: Set the desired temperature first. Press the keep-warm button once (LEDs 1+2 light up) to maintain the temperature for 60 minutes. Pressing the button twice (LEDs 1+2+3 light up) will boil the water to 100 °C first, then maintain the set temperature for 60 minutes. Note: This function is disabled if the temperature is set to 100 °C.
Cleaning and Descaling
Clean the device daily. Rinse the water tank with clean water. The anti-limescale filter can be removed and washed. Wipe the exterior and base with a soft, damp cloth. Descale the kettle regularly to prevent damage and ensure efficiency. Use a suitable descaling agent (e.g., Bartscher liquid or granulate). After descaling, boil fresh water and discard it to remove any chemical residues.
