So you got your Fellow Stagg EKG and your on your way to make your mornings better. Here's a quick guide on how to operate your lovely kettle after unboxing!
We recommend plugging the unit DIRECTLY into a wall outlet to avoid power fluctuations.
Be sure to fill the kettle with water before operating!
How to turn kettle ON/OFF
Press and release main button (less than 1 second) and the LCD screen will light up. Press the button again to turn off.
Okay, so now you've figured out how to switch on/off your kettle. Now we need to clean it initially before using it for the first time.
First Time Use Cleaning
- Place the Stagg EKG's base and kettle on a flat and level surface.
- Remove Stagg EKG's lid to add water.
- Add water below the maximum threshold. (preferably halfway to maximum)
- Plug the power cord DIRECTLY into wall outlet.
- Set the temperature to 100°C or 212°F.
- Boil water for 1 minute, then turn off kettle.
- Discard initially boiled water; *THIS WATER SHOULD NOT BE CONSUMED.
- Stagg EKG is now ready to use.
Toggles for HOLD function and temperature unit selection
Choose your preferred temperature setting of Fahrenheit or Celsius by switching the temperature toggle on the back of the base. See diagram below for reference.
Turning On HOLD Mode
Stagg EKG’s HOLD mode allows the kettle to hit your desired SET temperature and maintain that SET temperature for 60 minutes. After the kettle has remained seated on the base for 60 minutes, the heating element will shut off, and the kettle will idle for 15 minutes before the screen shuts off. This is an optional setting. See diagram 1D for reference.
• To turn HOLD mode on, switch the hold toggle on the back of the base so that the toggle reads “HOLD.” The screen will flash “HOLD ON” for one second.
• When Stagg EKG is in hold mode, “HOLD” will appear in the top of the LCD screen when your SET temperature is reached. This indicates that the kettle is in hold mode. See diagram 1E for reference.
• Once in HOLD mode, set your goal temperature with the steps above (in “Set a Goal Temperature”).
• If you lift your kettle off of the base and then return it to the base, Stagg EKG will reset the 60 minute hold and continue heating your water.
• Once 60 minutes have passed without lifting the kettle off the base, Stagg EKG will go into standby for 15 minutes, then turn itself off.
• To turn HOLD mode off, switch toggle so that the toggle reads blank.
With the "hold" switch off, the kettle will heat to your target temperature and hold it for 5 minutes OR until it is taken off the base. Once you place it back on the base, you'll have to rotate the dial and reset the temperature. Otherwise, the kettle will idle for 15 minutes (a flashing screen indicates this) before the screen turns off.
