BOIL/DRY PROTECTION

This unit has a boil/dry protection safety feature that automatically turns off the kettle and indicator light when finished boiling or when there is no water inside.

•If you desire another kettle of hot water, simply repeat steps 1-5.

•Unplug the kettle when not in use.

	SCALE FILTER
	Always boil water with the scale filter in place just behind the
	spout (D).
	Lime scale forms over time when water is heated. Though
	scale is natural and harmless, it may produce a powdery
	substance or mineral-like chunks that can get into your hot
D
	beverages and affect the taste. While the concealed heating
element in this kettle is designed to help reduce scale buildup, the filter helps
prevent particles from pouring into your beverage.
