SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazard resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. 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 electrical rating of the electric kettle (see rating label marked on product). The resulting extended cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

PRECAUTIONS:

WARNING: TO AVOID SCALDING, handle this kettle with care as water is heating, boiling, and cooling. The lid must remain closed during use to avoid steam burns. Keep spout away from persons as scalding can result from steam.

1. Place the electric kettle well back from the edge of the counter.
2. This kettle is intended for boiling WATER ONLY. Do not heat any other liquid or attempt to cook any food in this appliance.
3. NEVER place the kettle NEAR HOT SURFACES.
4. Hand wash filter only. NO PARTS ARE DISHWASHER SAFE.
5. Do not exceed the "Max" water level mark when filling. Overfilling could cause hot water to boil out of the spout.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

1. Wash the inside of the kettle and lid with mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly. Do not immerse the kettle or power base in water or any other liquid. These items are not dishwasher safe.
2. Fill the electric kettle with fresh water to the "MAX" water level mark on water window. Boil the water, following the directions below for use of your kettle.
3. When the water and unit have cooled, discard the water. Rinse with cold water and repeat.
4. Your electric kettle is now ready for use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Position the power base on a flat, heat resistant surface, as close as possible to a power outlet.
2. Follow cord routing in power base according to exit patterns. Proper cord routing will result in the power base laying flat when kettle is placed in base. DO not operate kettle if power base is not flat. If power base is not flat, remove kettle from power base and repeat cord placement instructions.
3. To fill with water, open lid. Fill the electric kettle with water to below the "MAX" water level mark. NOTE: Do not exceed the "MAX" water level mark indicated on the electric kettle.
4. Plug the electric cord into an electric outlet. Turn the switch ON by pushing down on the on/off switch. The window on the top of the unit and the water window gauge will light to indicate the unit is on. The water will heat and the electric kettle will switch off automatically when the water boils. NOTE: Ensure the ON/OFF switch is clear of obstructions and the lid is firmly closed. The electric kettle will not turn off automatically if the ON/OFF switch is constrained, or if the lid is left open.
5. Carefully lift the kettle from the power base and pour the hot water.
6. The kettle will not re-boil until the on/off switch is again switched ON. Wait 25 seconds, allowing kettle to cool down, then switch ON.

IF THE KETTLE DOES BOIL DRY

If the kettle is operated in accordance with instructions for use, it is unlikely that the kettle will boil dry. However, in the event that the kettle does boil dry, it is protected by a boil dry, fail-safe device which will switch the kettle off automatically on sensing a boil dry situation and keep it switched off until the kettle is refilled with at least the minimum amount of water. Always allow the kettle to cool for half an hour before reuse if the kettle has boiled dry.

FILTER INSTRUCTIONS

A filter has been integrated into the kettle to reduce the amount of scale residues entering your beverages or food. The filter is removable for cleaning. To reduce scale build-up, empty out any residual water after boiling.

How often the filter should be cleaned will vary according to where you live and how often you use your kettle. Filter should be cleaned whenever there are noticeable deposits left on the filter and especially if the rate of pouring decreases.

FILTER REMOVAL/CLEANING/REFITTING

Important: The kettle must be switched off, disconnected from the power outlet and allowed to cool down completely prior to removing or refitting the filter. Do not use excessive force, as this might damage the filter or the lid.

1. Empty the kettle and lift lid.
2. Grip the top part of the filter with index finger and thumb and pull upwards. You may have to hold kettle while removing filter.

Caution: Keep fingers clear of mesh. Pressing into mesh may damage filter.

1. To clean the filter, rinse under a tap while brushing it gently with a soft brush.
2. To refit filter, once again hold filter with index finger and thumb. Gently push filter back into the kettle until you hear a click. The filter is now reattached. Gently tug on filter to ensure filter is attached properly.
3. Rinse out kettle with fresh water and it's ready for use.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Mineral deposits in tap water may cause scale deposits to form inside the electric kettle after frequent use. To remove this scale build-up, fill the kettle with a solution of 3 cups of white vinegar and 3 cups water. Let sit overnight.
2. Empty the vinegar solution from the electric kettle. Remove any stain remaining inside by rubbing with a damp cloth.
3. Fill the electric kettle with clean water. Place kettle on power base and bring to a boil, then discard water. Repeat and the electric kettle will be ready to use.
4. The electric kettle will not operate again until the on/off switch is pressed downward.
5. Always remove kettle from power base and disconnect power base from electrical outlet before cleaning. Do not immerse kettle or power base in water or other liquid.
6. The outside of the electric kettle can be wiped with a soft damp cloth.

NOTE: Never use any chemical, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean any part of the kettle, including the power base.
