HELPFUL TIPS

•Always use fresh, cold water for each boiling process.

•Do not store water in the kettle. This helps to prevent build up of mineral deposits.

•For your safety, make sure cover of kettle is closed securely before pressing the I/O (ON/OFF) switch.

•Always unplug the kettle before filling.

•Never use less than the minimum amount of water (3 ½ cups). Note the MIN line on the kettle.

•Never use more than the maximum amount of water (7 cups). Note the MAX line on the kettle.

•The power supply is connected only to the power base. This allows for easy movement of the kettle to the table. (Remember to use a trivet or hot pad under the hot kettle.)

•Do not try to hold the switch ‘On’ (I) when water has boiled.

•Use your kettle to boil water for beverages, soups, cereal, noodles, rice and

pasta.

BUILT-IN SCALE PROTECTION

Lime scale forms over time when water is heated. Though harmless, it may be bothersome. The concealed heating element in the kettle is designed to help reduce scale buildup. The kettle has a scale filter at the bottom of the pour spout to prevent particles from pouring into your beverage.
