GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.

This appliance has a cord that has a grounding wire with a 3-prong plug. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded. If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the power cord.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord. Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prongs) adapters.

Have a qualified electrician install a grounded outlet near the appliance if the power cord is too short.

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled or tripping over a longer power cord.

FIRST TIME USE

It is recommended to clean the kettle before using it for the first time.

Fill the kettle to the maximum capacity and set the water to boil. Once boiled, discard this water. Complete this process twice to remove any dust from the inside of the kettle.

The maximum capacity of the kettle is 1.2 litres.

OPERATION

Always use the kettle on a flat, stable surface.

To fill the kettle, remove it from the power base and press the lid button to open the lid. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water and close the lid.

IMPORTANT: Be sure not to overfi ll the kettle to avoid spillage of boiling water.

The kettle should be filled between the minimum and maximum indicators on the side. If there is not enough water, the kettle will shut off before the water is boiled. If there is too much water, boiling water could spill and cause injury.

Replace the kettle on the power base and connect the plug to a power outlet.

Press the power switch and the power light will illuminate to indicate that the kettle is heating.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the power switch is free of obstruction and that the lid is firmly closed.

The kettle will turn off automatically once the water is boiled.

IMPORTANT: Be very careful when pouring boiling water. Hot water and steam can cause burns and scalding. Do not open the lid while the water is still hot.

When the kettle turns off, the power switch cannot be pressed again for 30 seconds to allow the internal circuit to reset.

The kettle can be stored on the power base.

Unplug the kettle when not in use.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

BOIL DRY PROTECTION

If there is not enough water in the kettle, the boil dry protection will automatically turn the kettle off to avoid damage to the heating element.

If this occurs, allow the kettle to cool completely before filling with water.

MINERAL DEPOSITS

The kettle may accumulate mineral deposits over time. This is caused by minerals in tap water that will form a scale on the bottom of the kettle after repeated heating.

You can use any commercially available descaler to remove mineral deposits. Please follow the instructions on the package.

Alternately, fi ll the kettle with \~40 ml of white vinegar and add enough water to ensure the bottom of the kettle is covered. Let this mixture stand overnight.

After 24 hours, discard the vinegar and water mixture. Boil and discard fresh water in the kettle twice to remove the vinegar smell. Any remaining stains on the spout can be removed with a damp cloth.

CLEANING

Always disconnect the kettle from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before any cleaning.

To protect against electrical shock do not immerse the cord, plugs or any other part of the appliance in water or any other liquid.

Wipe the inside and outside of the kettle with a damp cloth to clean it. A mild soap or vinegar solution can be used.

WARNING: Do not use poisonous cleaners or bleach.

CAUTION: Do not use chemical, steel, wooden or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the kettle to prevent damage to the glass body.
