Using Your Electric Kettle

BEFORE FIRST USE: Remove plas- tic bag from outside kettle and any packaging that may be inside the kettle. Fill the kettle to the MAX indi- cator on water level window and bring to a boil until kettle shuts off automatically. Discard water and repeat the process. Rinse out the kettle 2 or 3 times. The kettle is now ready for use.

1.Remove from power base before filling.

2.Fill the kettle with the required amount of water. Ensure that the water level is between MIN and MAX on the water level indicator. If using the mesh filter, it must be in place.

WARNING: If the kettle is over- filled there is a risk that boiling water may spit out of the spout and from the steam vent located on the underside of the base.

3.Make sure that the lid is in place and power base is standing on a level surface. If lid is not in place, auto shut-off will not operate.

4.Plug into the outlet and turn on (l).

5.The kettle will switch off (O) auto- matically when the water has boiled. (Remember, the surface of the kettle gets hot; take care–only grip the kettle by the handle).

6.After use, unplug the kettle and empty.

NOTE: Use water only. If used for foods other than water, the warranty will be voided.

Burn Hazard

If kettle is overfilled, boiling water may spit out of the spout.

Heating Element Discolors

It is normal for stainless steel heating elements to discolor. This does not affect the performance of the kettle.

Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners as this may damage the stainless steel surface.

Cordless Kettle

Your cordless kettle has the power supply connected to the power base, eliminating the need to plug and unplug the cord from the electrical outlet. However, it is always a good safety practice to unplug the power base when not in use.

For general operation see “Using Your Electric Kettle.”

After filling the kettle with water, it should be placed on the base so that it is correctly engaged.

After use the kettle may be left on the power base but we recommend you unplug the cord from the outlet.
