Frequently Asked Questions - K2071PS PROCTOR SILEX

How do I descale my Proctor Silex K2071PS kettle?

Add half a tablespoon of cream of tartar and fill with water to the line. Bring to a boil, then turn off and let sit for 15 minutes. Empty and rinse with fresh water.

Can I boil tea or coffee directly in the kettle?

No, the kettle is intended for water only. Using other liquids or foods will contaminate the interior and void the warranty.

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

Check that the kettle is properly seated on the base and that the lid is securely in place. Ensure the plug is inserted into a working outlet. If the issue persists, contact customer service.

Why is my water not boiling?

Check that the kettle is turned on (power light on). Ensure the water level is between the min and max marks. If the kettle is dry, the safety protection may have activated: unplug it, wait 20 minutes, then try again.

How do I clean the exterior of the kettle?

Use a damp cloth. Never use scouring pads or abrasive products that could scratch the surface.

Does the warranty cover accidental damage?

No, the 3-year limited warranty covers material and workmanship defects, but not damage resulting from accident, misuse, or use not in accordance with instructions.

Can I use an extension cord with my kettle?

Yes, an approved extension cord may be used if the cord is too short. Its electrical rating must be equal or greater than that of the appliance (120 V, 60 Hz). Place it to avoid tripping hazards.

Why must the lid be closed during use?

The lid must be securely closed for the automatic shut-off to work correctly and to avoid splashing hot water. Not closing it may cause burns.

How much water should I put in the kettle?

The water level should be between the minimum and maximum marks on the water level indicator. Do not overfill, as boiling water may escape from the spout.

What should I do if the kettle heats up empty?

The kettle is protected by a safety device. If this happens, unplug it and wait about 20 minutes for the element to cool, then use it normally. Check that it works properly.

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 Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with either a polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized or grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the 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. If the appliance is of the grounding type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. 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 Burn Hazard. 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 Electric 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 only water 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.

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.
