SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Short Cord Instructions

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a longer extension cord is used:
   a.) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
   b.) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.

DO NOT DRAPE CORD!

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN!

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using for the first time, it is recommended to clean the interior of the kettle thoroughly. Please follow the procedures below before using the kettle:

1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packing materials and make sure that the product has been received in good condition.
3. Take care to keep the electrical components on the exterior of the kettle dry, wipe out the interior of the kettle with a damp cloth. If your hand will not fit inside the kettle, swish warm, soapy water around in the interior of the kettle with the lid closed.
4. Rinse out the inside of the kettle thoroughly with water.
5. With a damp cloth, gently wipe off the exterior of the kettle. Do not wipe off electrical components as this may cause damage to the unit.
6. Dry all parts completely.
7. It is recommended to run your kettle through one boiling cycle before using it to consume beverages. Following the instructions in BOILING WATER on page 8, boil one kettle of water. When water has boiled, pour it out and rinse the inside of the kettle once more. The kettle is now ready for use.

TO CLEAN

1. Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a damp cloth, taking care to avoid the electrical components.
2. Clean the interior of the kettle with a soft sponge and warm, soapy water. If your hand does not fit in the lid opening, swish warm, soapy water around inside the kettle with the lid closed.
3. Rinse any remaining soapy water from the kettle.
4. Drain.

Note:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads of any kind on the kettle or power base. This will cause damage to the finish and may create a risk of electrical shock.
• Any other servicing should be performed by Aroma® Housewares.

Caution:

The stainless steel portions of the kettle will become extremely hot during use and remain hot for sometime after. Do not touch the stainless steel body or lid until the kettle has cooled completely.

Always unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

Always take care not to allow electrical components to come into contact with water.

Always unplug kettle prior to cleaning.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The kettle and indicator light do not work when the power button is pressed.

• Make sure the kettle is seated properly on the power base and that the base is connected to a functioning electrical outlet.
• If the kettle is heated with no water, the internal safety mechanism will automatically turn the kettle off. The power button will automatically return to the OFF position. The kettle will begin working again after the internal temperature drops to a safe level or when water is added and the power button reactivates.

The water is boiling, but the power button and indicator light do not turn off.

- The auto shut-off function will not operate properly if the lid is not completely closed. Allow kettle to cool, then check to see that the lid is properly locked into place.

The power button won't stay down and the kettle will not turn on.

- Make sure that the kettle is seated properly on the power base and that the base is connected to a functioning electrical outlet.

- Water or debris on the bottom of the kettle or on the power base may interfere with the functioning of the kettle. Be sure that the base of the kettle and the power base are dry and free of debris.

There are mineral deposits on the interior of the kettle.

• A certain amount of scale build-up is normal after long periods of use and is caused by minerals contained in hard water. The best way to prevent mineral deposits is to always use distilled water in the kettle.
• To remove deposits, try filling the kettle halfway with water and adding a few slices of lemon, then boil. If this does not work, please see MINERAL DEPOSITS page 9.

Note:

- If the problem persists, please contact our customer service department toll-free at [phone] or through email at [e-mail].

BOILING WATER

1. Place power base on a sturdy, level and dry surface.
2. Open the kettle lid by pressing the lid release button. Fill with water. Water must be filled between 0.5L and 1.0L MAX.
3. Close the lid, ensuring it locks into place.
4. Place the kettle onto the power base.
5. Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC wall outlet.
6. Press down on the Power() button. The button will illuminate and the kettle will begin heating the water.
7. Once the water reaches a boil, the power button will rise and the kettle will automatically shut off.
8. Using the cool-touch handle, lift the kettle off the power base to serve. Do not touch the stainless steel body, as it will be hot.
9. When finished serving, pour out any remaining water and unplug the power cord.

Caution:

The stainless steel portions of the kettle will become extremely hot during use and remain hot for sometime after. Do not touch the stainless steel body or lid until the kettle has cooled completely.

Never fill kettle with any liquid other than water.

Never open the lid while water is boiling.

Note:

If the kettle is heated with no water, the internal safety mechanism will automatically turn the kettle off. The power button will automatically return to the OFF position. The kettle will begin working again after the internal temperature drops to a safe level or when water is added and the power button reactivates.

MINERAL DEPOSITS

Hard water can leave mineral deposits that create scale build-up on the interior of the kettle. If mineral deposits occur, follow these steps:

1. Fill the kettle halfway with water.
2. Following the instructions in BOILING WATER on page 8, bring the water to a boil.
3. Add one cup of white vinegar to the water in the kettle.
4. Allow the mixture to soak overnight.
5. Empty the mixture and rinse out the kettle.
6. Refill the kettle with water only. Bring it to a boil and empty again. Repeat as needed.

Helpful Hints:

Using distilled water will help to prevent the buildup of mineral deposits.
