Safety First:
Always unplug the kettle before filling it with water or when not in use.
Never touch the kettle when it is in operation or immediately after boiling water, as it may be hot to the touch.
Filling the Kettle:
Only fill the kettle with the recommended amount of water, as indicated by the minimum and maximum water level marks.
Use filtered water if possible to maintain the taste of your beverages and to prolong the life of the kettle.
Boiling Water:
Plug in the kettle and press the start button or turn it on, depending on the model.
Wait for the water to boil. Some kettles have an automatic shut-off feature that turns off the kettle once the water has reached boiling point.
Pouring Water:
Use the kettle's spout to pour water carefully. Some models have a built-in lid mechanism that opens automatically when pouring.
Hold the kettle securely to prevent spills or burns.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
Regularly clean the kettle's exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the glass.
Clean the interior by filling the kettle with equal parts water and white vinegar, then boiling. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Descale the kettle every few weeks to remove mineral buildup, which can affect performance and taste. Use a descaling solution or a mixture of water and lemon juice.
Handling the Kettle:
Do not lift the kettle by the power cord or the handle when it is hot.
Avoid placing the kettle on uneven surfaces or near sources of heat when in use.
Storing the Kettle:
Store the kettle in a dry place when not in use.
Ensure the power cord is wrapped neatly and securely to prevent damage.
Power Cord Management:
Keep the power cord away from water and heat sources.
Do not place heavy objects on the cord or pull it to disconnect the kettle from the power source.
Children and Pets:
Keep the kettle out of reach of children and pets.
Always supervise children when they are using the kettle.
Replacement Parts:
If any part of the kettle, such as the lid or the power cord, becomes damaged, replace it immediately to avoid accidents.
