Borosil Electric 1.8L Glass Kettle HOW TO USE

1. Place the unit on the level surface.
2. To fill the kettle, remove it from the power base and open the lid by pressing the lid open button. Fill with the desired amount of water, and then close the lid.
   NOTE: The water level should not exceed MAX marks or sit below MIN level. Too little water will cause the kettle switching off before the water has boiled. If filled the water over the maximum level, water may spill out of the spout when boiling. Ensure that the lid is firmly put in place and the kettle socket position matches the power base socket, before plugging the power outlet.
3. Plug the power cord of electric kettle to the main socket & Switch ON the main supply.
4. Connect the plug into a power outlet. Press down the On/Off switch; the Blue LED’s will light up. The kettle will start to boil the water, once the water has been boiled the On/Off switch will be shut off automatically. You can disconnect the power by lifting the On/Off switch at any moment during boiling water. If you want to boil water again, press down the On/Off switch directly to restart the kettle.
   NOTE: Ensure that the On/Off switch is free of obstructions and the lid is firmly closed: the kettle will not turn off if the switch is constrained or if the lid is open.
5. Lift the kettle from the power base and then pour the water.
   NOTE: Be careful while pouring the water from the kettle, since the boiling water may cause scalding. Do not open the lid while the water in the kettle is hot.
6. The kettle will not re-boil until the On/Off switch is pressed down again. The kettle may be stored on the power base when not in use.
   NOTE: Always disconnect the power supply when not use. Be careful of refilling when the kettle is hot.
7. The kettle is not recommended for boiling beverages like Tea, Soup, Coffee, Milk etc. It is for boiling water which can be used to process beverages.

BOIL-DRY PROTECTION

Should you accidentally let the kettle operate without water, the boil-dry protection will automatically switch off the power. If this occurs, allow the kettle to cool before filling it with cold water to bring it to a boil.

Setup Guide

To operate the Borosil Electric 1.8L Glass Kettle, follow these steps:

1. Fill the kettle with water up to the desired level, using the water level indicator as a guide.
2. Place the kettle on the 360-degree swivel base and plug it in.
3. Select the manual switch to start heating the water.
4. The kettle will automatically turn off when the water has boiled, thanks to the dry-boil protection system.
5. To pour the water, lift the kettle off the base and tilt it to the desired angle.
6. After use, let the kettle cool down before cleaning it.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 

Always disconnect the appliance from the power outlet and let it cool down completely before cleaning.

1. Never immerse the kettle, power cord or power base in water, or allow moisture to come in contact with these parts.
2. Wipe the outer body with a damp cloth or cleaner. Do not use a poisonous cleaner.
3. Remember to clean the filter at regular intervals. For easier cleaning, detach the filter and then replace it after cleaning.

CAUTION: Do not use chemical, steel, wooden or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the kettle as these may scratch the smooth surface of the kettle, causing the glass to break suddenly during use or cleaning.

REMOVAL OF MINERAL DEPOSITS

Your kettle should be periodically descaled as the mineral deposits in the tap water may form scale at the bottom of the kettle interior reducing its operational efficiency. You can use the commercially available descaler or follow the instructions on the package of the descaler. Alternatively, you may follow the below instructions to use white vinegar.

• Fill the kettle with 3 cups of white vinegar, then add water to cover the bottom completely.
• Allow it to stand overnight.
• Empty the mixture from the kettle, fill the kettle with clean water, boil it and then discard the water. Repeat this several times until the odor of vinegar has been removed. Any stains remaining inside the spout can be removed by rubbing the insides of the kettle with a damp cloth.
