Power Cord

• Never operate a product whose power cord and/or plug are damaged.
• The replacement and repairs of the power cord must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid hazard.
• If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• Do not operate the appliance with wet hands or while standing on a wet floor.
• Never pull on the cord. This may damage the cord and increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. Do not let the cord touch any hot surface.

Using the Kettle

• Do not immerse the unit in water or a dishwasher for cleaning purposes.
• Do not try to block the steam from emitting through the spout (Not sure if this applies to our unit)
• Keep appliance at least 4 inches away from walls and other objects while operating. Place the appliance on a heat resistant surface. Do not put anything on top of the appliance during operation.
• Never operate a product after it malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.

  Always unplug the product when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before touching the product, putting on or removing parts and before cleaning.
• To disconnect, turn the product off and remove the plug from the wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• ONLY use the product for heating water. Liquids other than water will tarnish the inside of the product and void the warranty.
• Never let the product boil dry.

• Make sure the lid is securely in place while the water is heating up and when pouring it out.

ELECTRICAL CORD

NOTE: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warrantor listed in the back of this manual.

The particular length of the power cord of this appliance is meant to reduce the risk of becoming tangled in it and/or tripping on it. Should the length of this cord be insufficient, use an approved extension cord. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord shall be equal to (or greater than) that of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounding type, the extension cord should be a grounding type, 3-wire cord. Lay the extension cord down so that it will not hang down from tabletop or countertops where it can be pulled on by children or create risk of tripping over it.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). 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.
