SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

GROUNDED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electric shock this appliance has a grounded plug (2 blades and 1 pin). If the plug does not fit fully into the electrical outlet contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way or use an adaptor.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Read all instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.
2. Remove all packaging.
3. Water boiled for the first time should be discarded.
4. IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT USE THE KETTLE WITHOUT THE FILTER IN POSITION

– this may allow water to spit out of the spout when boiling
- allow the kettle to remain in the boil cycle too long once the water has boiled
– the kettle may not shut off.

HOW TO USE

1. Open Lid by holding the handle with one hand and lifting up the Lid with the other. Fill the Kettle through the Lid opening, with a minimum of 0.5 litres of water. (MIN level)

NOTE:

DO NOT attempt to fill while the Kettle is on the Power Base.

DO NOT use for other than boiling water. Other liquids will contaminate the interior of the Kettle.

DO NOT fill past the MAX level indicated on the kettle near the handle.

Overfilling may cause water to spill out when boiling.

1. Place Kettle on Base making sure it is correctly engaged on its Base.
2. Plug Power Base cord into a 120V AC wall outlet.

NOTE: Never plug Power Base with empty Kettle into the electrical outlet.

1. Depress the On/Off Switch to the 'On' position. The Indicator Light will illuminate to indicate that the Kettle is in the boil cycle. Once the water has boiled, the On/Off Switch will automatically switch to the 'Off' position and the Indicator Light will go out. NOTE: Direct kettle spout away from cabinets, walls, etc. to prevent possible steam damage.
2. If you want to use the Kettle again, allow the thermal safety switch to cool down for 15 – 20 seconds then depress the On/Off Switch to the 'On' position. If the On/Off Switch does not remain in the 'On' position, the Water is hot enough to use without reheating.
3. Unplug cord from wall outlet before lifting Kettle from Power Base. Grip the Kettle by the Handle only, as the surface and lid will be hot.
4. Return the Kettle to the Power Base or place on a heat resistant surface after use.
5. If the Kettle is accidentally switched on when empty, the thermostat will automatically shut it off to prevent the Kettle from overheating. If this situation occurs, unplug the Power Base and let the Kettle cool before refilling.
6. It is recommended that the power cord be disconnected from the wall outlet when not in use. DO NOT attempt to connect any other appliance to the Power Base or tamper with the connector in any way.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Unplug power cord from wall outlet. Empty out remaining water and allow Kettle to cool before cleaning.
2. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outside of the kettle.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.

DO NOT IMMERSE KETTLE OR POWER BASE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.

DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE POWER BASE.

1. Under normal use, a deposit of scale may form on the inside of the Kettle and cause some discolouration. Scale, which has accumulated inside the Kettle, can be removed by boiling equal parts of white vinegar and water (500 ml / 2 cups of each is recommended). Once the water has boiled, allow mixture to stand several hours or overnight. Empty out mixture and fill Kettle to the MAX level with fresh water. Bring water to a boil and discard. For heavy scale build-up, repeat this process.

NOTE: This build-up can be delayed by pouring out old water and refilling before each use.

1. All servicing, other than cleaning, should be performed by an authorized service representative. See Warranty section.

GLASS BREAKAGE

The highest quality tempered glass is used in the manufacture of this Kettle. This material is quite durable. However, glass is still breakable under certain conditions. To ensure long lasting use, prevent the glass from contacting hard objects such as faucets, cabinets and metal utensils.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord 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 grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
