SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for house- hold use only.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with the kettle.

The length of the cord used on this appli- ance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.

If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the kettle. Care must be taken to arrange the exten- sion cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
