Frequently Asked Questions - 40796-CN HAMILTON BEACH

How do I clean the kettle?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For scale buildup, boil water with 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, then rinse thoroughly. Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.

Can I use the kettle for liquids other than water?

No, only heat water. Using other liquids will void the warranty and may damage the kettle.

What should I do if the kettle boils dry?

Turn the switch to OFF (O), unplug, wait 20 minutes for the element to cool, then refill with water and use normally. The kettle has automatic safety devices to prevent damage.

How do I remove the anti-scale mesh filter?

Unplug and let the kettle cool. Pull upwards on the tab visible through the lid opening to remove the filter. Rinse under water and brush gently. Replace by sliding back into the slots until it snaps.

Why does my kettle shut off before boiling?

It may need descaling due to mineral buildup. Try cleaning with cream of tartar as described in the manual. If the problem persists, check power connections.

Is the kettle safe to leave unattended?

It has auto shut-off and boil-dry protection, but you should always supervise use, especially near children. Unplug when not in use.

What is the capacity of the kettle?

The exact capacity is not specified in the manual, but typical Hamilton Beach kettles have a 1.7-liter capacity.

Can I use an extension cord?

Yes, if needed. Use an approved extension cord rated equal to or greater than the appliance's wattage. Arrange it to avoid tripping hazards.

How do I store the cord?

Wrap the cord around the cord wrap under the base of the kettle for neat storage.

What should I do if the kettle does not turn on?

Check if the power switch is ON (I), the cord is firmly plugged in, and the kettle is seated properly on the base. If it still doesn't work, it may have tripped the boil-dry protection; unplug and wait 20 minutes before retrying.

How to Use the Kettle

WARNING Burn Hazard.
Do not overfill kettle. Boiling water may spit out of the spout.

Kettle will automatically shut off when water has boiled.

NOTE: Only use kettle to heat water. If kettle is used to heat other liquids, such as coffee or tea, the warranty will be voided.

The mesh filter is visible through the kettle lid opening. Pull upwards on the tab to remove. Rinse filter periodically.
WARNING Burn Hazard. Allow kettle to cool before attempting to remove mesh filter.

To replace, slide the filter back into the slots and snap into place. The filter will fit only one way.

Care and Cleaning

To avoid scale/lime deposit buildup, empty kettle after each use.

Wipe the exterior of kettle with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or powders since they may scratch the smooth surface of the kettle.

To remove discoloration or scale/lime deposit from heating element: Place 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar (available in the spice aisle of grocery store) into the kettle. Then fill the kettle 1/2 full with water. Plug in, turn ON (I), and bring to boil. Turn OFF (O), let cool, and rinse several times with clean tap water.

⚠ WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard.

Do not immerse kettle, power base, or plug in water or other liquid.

If Kettle Floor 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 since this may damage the stainless steel surface.

If Kettle Boils Dry: The heating element is protected by two automatic safety devices. If your kettle is accidentally switched on without being filled with water, or is allowed to boil dry, the kettle will automatically switch off. You should:

• Turn the switch to OFF (O), unplug, and wait about 20 minutes for the element to cool down.
• Refill the kettle; then use as normal and check that the kettle functions correctly.

If Kettle Does Not Work: Make these simple checks before calling the toll-free customer assistance number:

• Have you turned power switch to ON (I) position?
• If the kettle heats but does not boil, it might need descaling.
• Has the kettle been switched on accidentally without being filled with water or allowed to boil dry? Turn the switch to OFF (O), wait 20 minutes, and try again.
• Is cord firmly plugged into the outlet and kettle firmly seated in the base?

Anti-Scale Mesh Filter: Scale is caused by lime and calcium in hard water. The mesh filter will prevent these suspended particles from being poured out of the kettle. The filter should be cleaned periodically to ensure optimum performance. To clean the filter, unplug kettle and allow to cool. The mesh filter may be removed by pulling upwards on the tab, which is visible through the kettle opening. Rinse filter under running water and brush with a soft brush. A small, soft-bristle brush works well. To replace the mesh filter, slide the filter back into the slots and snap into place. The filter will fit only one way.
