FIRST USE OF THE ELECTRIC KETTLE

• Read all safety and operating instructions carefully before using the Kettle for the first time. An adult should provide close supervision if Kettle is being used by children or handicapped or infirm.

• For new Kettles, do not use the first filling of boiled water, discard it, rinse out the Kettle and refill with fresh water.

• The appliance has two parts: a) Base unit with electrical connector and power cord. b) Removable Kettle with electrical adapter.

• The Kettle can only be used with the power base unit supplied with the kettle. Base unit and Kettle must bear the same model number. The Kettle lid must be fully closed when heating the water. It is equipped with a snap lock so it does not open unintentionally while the water is being poured. The lid can be easily opened with only one hand. Simply grasp the handle and push on the lid release button with the thumb (never force lid open, always use the button).

• To close the lid, press down lightly on it until it snaps completely shut.

• Remove Kettle from the base. Fill Kettle with at least 16 ounces (0.5 liters) of water to prevent it from running dry during the boiling process. Do not fill the Kettle above the maximum line shown on the water gauge to prevent boiling water from splashing out through the spout. If overfilled and water flows down outside of Kettle and onto its bottom, shut “OFF” and unplug unit, empty the Kettle, dry base thoroughly and refill Kettle carefully before setting onto base unit. Water on the bottom of the Kettle can lead to an electric shock. (See further instructions.)

• After filling with water, place the Kettle on the base unit.

• The Kettle is equipped with a convenient automatic steam activated switch-o device, which detects the presence of steam and deactivates the appliance shortly after the boiling point is reached. For the proper functioning of the automatic shut-o device, it is necessary that the lid be completely closed. NOTE: This automatic switch-o mechanism flips the ”ON/OFF” (|/0) switch to the “OFF” (0) position when the water boils. Upon automatic shut-o you may see a few drops of water on the base unit. This condensate will not impair the operation of the Kettle nor its safety.

• Unwind the power cord to the desired length before plugging the cord into a powered outlet.

• This appliance has a three way grounded power plug. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by using a three-to-two way adapter. If your receptacle is only two way without a ground seek help from a licensed electrician.

• A short power supply cord is provided with this appliance to reduce the risk of someone becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord and causing the Kettle to overturn, discharging its hot contents. While The Legacy Companies does not recommend it, extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, it should be a grounded three conductor cord rated at not less than 15 amperes and match the configuration of the plug. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on or tipped over by children or the infirm.English — 5

• Plug base unit into a three way grounded 110-120 volt, AC outlet.

• The Kettle power switch (5) has 2 positions - “ON” (I) and “OFF” (O). Place Kettle on it’s base and push the switch down to the “ON” position. The switch will illuminate to indicate the power is on.

• The Kettle normally switches o automatically within about 30 seconds after the boiling point is reached.

• The time required for the Kettle to automatically switch o after the boiling point is reached will vary depending on the amount of water in the Kettle; it will switch o faster after boiling if filled to its “maximum” level than if filled to only a minimum level.

• If only warm water is desired, you can interrupt the heating procedure at any time by simply lifting the kettle o of its power base. The power switch will shut “OFF”. In order to restart the heating, place the kettle on its power base and depress the ON/OFF switch. The switch will light indicating that the power is on.

• The Kettle can be lifted easily from the base for pouring or serving. The pouring spout has been specially designed to easily pour even small amounts of water.

• Replace the Kettle on the base unit when finished pouring.

• Whenever the kettle is lifted o its base the power switch must be pushed down to the “ON” position again if you wish to restart the heating of the water. Always check the water level before turning the power switch “ON”. Make certain there are at least 16 ounces (0.5 liters) of water in Kettle before turning switch “ON”. Avoid boiling the kettle dry. Figure 1.

• Avoid spilling water on the base unit. In the event the base unit becomes wet, proceed as follows: – disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. – invert base unit and shake out all water. – dry the base unit with a dry absorbent cloth. – place the Kettle on the base and re-insert the power cord into the power outlet. CAUTION: The Kettle always gets hot during operation. DO NOT touch the glass body or lid. Lift the Kettle only by the handle and open the lid only by using the lid release button or knob. Exercise care to avoid contact with steam or the water when opening or closing the lid while the Kettle is still hot or contains hot water.

• The Chef’sChoice® Kettle is designed specifically for heating water. Do not attempt to heat anything other than water in the Kettle. With liquids and mixtures of low water content, the automatic steam activated shut-o switch may not function properly and the Kettle may be damaged.

• Before cleaning, make sure power switch is turned “OFF”, then remove the Kettle from its base unit. Unplug the base unit.

• Always wait until the Kettle has fully cooled to room temperature before cleaning.

• To avoid scratching, clean the outside of the Kettle with a soft cloth only. Never use abrasive cleanser.

• Never use abrasive cleansers or abrasive pads on either the inside or outside glass surface of this product.

• The interior of the Kettle can be cleaned by decalcification at regular intervals (see next page).

• Rinse out the Kettle at regular intervals and after extended non-use. Do not immerse.

• Do not attempt to clean any part of the Kettle or base in the dishwasher.English — 7 DECALCIFICATION In areas with a high calcium content in the water supply, the Kettle should be decalcified at regular intervals.

• Fill the Kettle with a solution of 16 oz. water and 10 tablespoons of vinegar and bring to a boil.

• When process is complete, rinse the Kettle twice with clean water.

• Commercially available liquid decalcifiers may also be used. Follow the instructions provided with decalcifier by its manufacturer. Regular decalcification will keep the Kettle operating at peak performance and electrical eciency. It will also extend the life of the Kettle. Over time slightly brownish stains may appear inside of the Kettle. This is not rusting of the Kettle, it is a result of high iron content in the water supply, often referred to as boiler scale. These stains can be easily wiped away with a cloth or mild abrasive. Rinse Kettle thoroughly after decalcification or cleaning. SCALE FILTER To prevent loose particles of limescale being poured into your beverage, the Kettle is equipped with a scale filter behind the spout (Fig. 2). The filter is removable for cleaning and replacement. Do not operate the kettle without this filter in place. If this filter is removed, the function of the steam switch will be compromised. Figure 2. Lime Scale FilterEnglish — 8 BOIL-DRY PROTECTION CAUTION: Avoid boiling the Kettle dry. Never operate Kettle with less than 16 ounces of water. This Kettle is equipped with a pair of self-resetting “boil-dry” switches that protect the appliance in the event of improper use. If heating is accidentally started without sucient water or if the water evaporates completely, the appliance is automatically switched OFF by the “boil-dry” protection. . Try to avoid allowing the Kettle to “boil-dry”. If the “boil-dry” protection is actuated, disconnect the power cord and allow the Kettle to cool down for a few minutes and then refill with at least 16 ounces of cold water. The Kettle will now operate normally. Frequent “boil-dry” of the Kettle may reduce its usable life. (CAUTION: Small amounts of hot water remaining in the Kettle can cause scalding injuries). SERVICE This appliance is for household use only. No user-serviceable parts are inside. In the event service is needed, return your Kettle to The Legacy Companies, where the cost of repair can be estimated before the repair is undertaken.
