When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces or hot water. Use handles or knobs. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from spilled hot liquid.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock and personal injury do not immerse cord, plugs or electric kettle in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use, filling and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock or personal injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
10. Do not place electric kettle on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. Always attach plug to kettle first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect electric kettle, turn any control to OFF then remove plug from wall outlet. Never pull on cord as this may damage the cord and eventually cause electric shock.
12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
13. Do not use for other than heating water. Other liquids or food will contaminate the interior and void warranty.
14. Do not allow kettle to boil dry.
15. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

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

WARNING! Shock Hazard: If the plug on this appliance does not fit in your outlet, do not modify the plug and do not use an adaptor. Have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance 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 appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

WARNING! To avoid burns and reduce risk of personal injury, use extreme caution when carrying kettle containing hot water. Do not pour in the direction of people or over people.

Using the Automatic Kettle

Before First Use: Fill kettle to maximum capacity, bring to a boil, then manually shut off the kettle. Discard water and repeat. Rinse well.

NOTES:

• Use water only in the kettle. If used for foods or beverages such as tea or coffee, the warranty will be voided.

• For increased efficiency and longer life the kettle must be kept clean of mineral deposits. We recommend that you empty the kettle after each use to prevent mineral deposits.

• Unplug kettle before filling.

• Fill kettle with desired amount of water. Make sure to cover the element. The water level must be between minimum and maximum indicator lines on the water level indicator.

WARNING! Burn Hazard. If kettle is overfilled there is a risk that boiling water may spit out of the spout.

NOTE: This kettle has a built-in safety feature for protection should the unit be plugged in without an adequate amount of water or if the kettles boil dry.

1. Make sure that the lid is in place and the kettle or power base (cordless models only) is standing on a level surface. If the lid is not in place auto shut-off will not operate. All kettle cords must be kept away from hot surfaces.

2. For cordless models, ensure kettle is correctly engaged on base. (See illustration.)

3. Plug in kettle.
4. Switch to ON (I) position. A light will illuminate when the kettle is on.

1. The kettle will switch off automatically when the water has boiled or you can manually shut the kettle OFF ( O ) when desired.
   IMPORTANT: Ensure that the cordless kettle has switched off automatically or is switched off manually before removing it from the base.
2. Unplug kettle before pouring.
3. If you want to refill kettle immediately, first check the water level indicator and then, if required, run cold water in through the spout.
4. After use, unplug the kettle and empty.
5. Do not hold the switch on while the kettle is boiling.

If Your Kettle Boils Dry

The kettle element is protected by an automatic safety device. If the kettle is accidentally switched on without water, or is allowed to boil dry, the kettle will automatically repeat a cycle of switching off, cooling down, and switching back on. If this happens, you should:

1. Unplug the kettle.
2. Wait about 20 minutes for the element to cool down and then use as normal and check that the kettle functions correctly.

Cleaning and Descaling Your Kettle

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard.

Never immerse the kettle in water or other liquids.

1. With kettle unplugged, empty any remaining water and rinse. Allow kettle to cool.
2. To avoid scale/lime deposit build-up, empty kettle after each use.
3. If you have scale/lime deposit build-up, add 1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter to your kettle and fill to max line with water. Switch kettle on and allow to boil. Switch kettle off. Let sit for 15 minutes. Empty kettle and rinse with fresh water.
4. Wipe the exterior of kettle with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or powders as they may scratch the smooth surface of the kettle.
