Press the settings buttons (9) to adjust temperature from 40°C to 100°C in 5°C increments. The selected temperature shows on the LCD display.

How does the keep warm function work?

After selecting keep warm, the kettle boils water to the preset temperature (40°C-90°C) and then maintains it for up to 60 minutes. The keep warm icon flashes during operation.

How do I descale the kettle?

Use 0.5 L of 6-10% vinegar or 40 g of citric acid mixed with water to MAX. Bring to boil, let stand for 30 minutes, empty, rinse, and repeat if necessary. Remove and clean the filter separately.

Can I open the lid while boiling?

No, do not open the lid while water is boiling to avoid scalding from steam. Allow the kettle to cool before opening.
