should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a

grounding type 3-wire cord.

3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter

where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. The appliance may have 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.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

DO NOT LEAVE WATER IN THE KETTLE AFTER USE. EMPTY THE KETTLE AFTER EACH USE TO REDUCE ACCUMULATION OF LIMESCALE DEPOSITS. To clean the kettle and base n Always unplug the base and allow the kettle to cool before cleaning. n Avoid exposing the base or the bottom of the kettle to excess water. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the base in water or any other liquid, or place under running water to clean. Wipe clean with a damp sponge and a small amount of gentle dishwashing liquid if necessary. Never clean with harsh or abrasive cleaners or sponges. Dry all parts carefully before next use. To clean the limescale filter © (fig. 5) n Always unplug the base and allow the kettle to cool before cleaning. n The limescale filter is a removable mesh filter in the spout of the kettle. This filter does not treat or remove the scale from the water, it traps the scale particles from being poured out. n With very hard water, the filter may need to be cleaned as often as 10-15 uses. If the filter is wet, run under lukewarm water to remove particles. If filter is dry, brush gently to remove particles. To avoid English

KR_KETTLE_BW730_NAFTA_NC00117831_Mise en page 1 14/02/13 17:07 Page8damaging the mesh, do not scrub the filter. n To remove excessive scale, descale as described below.

n For best performance, descale regularly. The amount of scale that develops depends on the hardness of your water and how frequently the kettle is used. Descale regularly, preferably at least once a month, more often if your water is very hard. Keep in mind that you may have to descale more often than indicated based on your water. To descale your kettle or filter: n Always unplug the base and allow the kettle to cool before cleaning. n Use plain white vinegar at room temperature. When descaling the kettle, fill with 2 cups of white vinegar and leave for one hour without heating. For the filter, remove the filter from the spout, and soak with 1 cup of white vinegar for one hour in a small cup or bowl. n Rinse kettle and filter very well with room temperature water multiple times until completely clean. Repeat if necessary and allow to dry before next use. The warranty excludes kettles which have stopped working or do not work properly due to lack of descaling.
