Shutdown & Maintenance
1. Allow KettleCharge to cool completely either by placing on non-flammable surface or
by pouring cold water back into kettle.
2. After KettleCharge has cooled, pour out remaining contents to ensure kettle is empty.
3. To return handle to the stored position (fig. 3), slide handle release switch up (fig. 2)
and lower Power Handle down. Note that this does not seal the vessel; ensure the
kettle is empty before storing.
4. To clean, wipe metal kettle down with a damp rag. CAUTION - Do not wet Power

Tips & Troubleshooting
Run
KETTLECHARGE IS BEEPING INTERMITTENTLY WITH RED TRIANGLE LED FLASHING
• This is the warning system, indicating that the flame is too hot. Turn down heat source.
Beeping should stop within a few seconds.
KETTLECHARGE IS SOUNDING A STEADY ALARM WITH RED TRIANGLE LED ILLUMINATED
• This is the warning system, indicating that the water is almost boiled away.
Add water immediately.
• The power button can be used to temporarily silence the audible warning.
KETTLECHARGE IS NOT CHARGING DEVICES
• Ensure that water is beyond MIN fill line and heat source is turned up with the left-hand
LEDs showing at least 2 lights. Both components are required for proper charging.
• Check LED battery indicator to see at least one green light. If no lights are on, battery
needs time to store energy before charging can begin.
• Check technical specifications of devices to ensure they are in the range of BioLite's
charging capabilities. The KettleCharge will not charge laptops.
• Check USB extender and charging cords to ensure everything is properly connected.
• If battery LEDs are all lit and devices are still not charging, contact BioLite.
CLICKING SOUND
• When the KettleCharge heats up or cools down quickly,
this temporary clicking is the sound of metal expanding
and contracting. This is normal and will not affect your
product. It will stop when the temperature stabilizes.
TOP LED ON LEFT HAND SIDE IS FLASHING
• When the top LED light on the left-hand side begins
to blink this will signify that you are approaching the
upper temperature limit. Monitor the product and heat
source closely.
HANDLE WILL NOT RETURN TO STORED POSITION
• To return handle to the stored position, slide handle
release switch and lower Power Handle down. Note that
this does not seal the vessel; ensure the kettle is empty
before storing.
