Electrical requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Volts: 120 V.A.C.

Hertz: 60 Hz

NOTE: The Water Kettle has a 3 prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in an outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used.

If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used:

- The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

- If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

- The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Cleaning the exterior

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning always disconnect the Electric Kettle from electrical outlet. Make sure the Electric Kettle has cooled completely.

The exterior of the Electric Kettle may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Dry and polish the Electric Kettle with a soft cloth. Abrasives and scouring agents of any kind are not recommended.

Cleaning the filter

The Electric Kettle features a removable mesh filter that traps scale deposits for cleaner water. The filter will need to be cleaned periodically—more often if you have hard water.

To access filter: Open the lid; the filter is located behind spout inside Electric Kettle. Grasp the top of the filter to remove.

2 Clean under hot water with a soft brush or cloth to remove deposits, and replace filter by sliding the filter into the slot behind the spout.

NOTE: If calcium deposits remain on the filter, let it stand overnight in a solution of water and white vinegar. Rinse the filter thoroughly and replace in the Electric Kettle.

Removing mineral deposits from the interior

To get the best performance from your Electric Kettle, decalcification will be necessary. Calcium deposits may form on the interior metal parts of the Electric Kettle. The cleaning interval will depend on the hardness of the water you put in the Electric Kettle.

Fill the Electric Kettle with 1 cup (.25 L) white vinegar. Add 3 cups (.75 L) water. Turn kettle ON.

2 Empty solution from Electric Kettle and repeat process twice. Electric Kettle is now ready for use.
