Dear Electric Kettle Owner,

Congratulations on your purchase. The Hamilton Beach® EclectricsCollection adds a modern twist to those dependable, all-metal appliances you remember from yesteryear.

Owning a Hamilton Beach® is like owning a piece of history. In 1904, Louis Hamilton and Chester Beach teamed up to bring motorized appliances like vacuums, sewing machines, and mixers into American households. In honor of their 100-year legacy, we’ve combined the “built to last” metal construction of the past with the styling of today to bring lasting quality and style to your kitchen.

As you use your all-metal appliance, think about the history that came before it. Enjoy the confidence you have in a product backed by years of experience and a 3-year warranty. But most of all, fill your home with the delicious aroma of homemade recipes that your appliance helps you create!

I hope you enjoy your Hamilton Beach® Eclectricsappliance for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Michael J. Morecroft

President and Chief Executive Officer
