IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces or hot water. Use handles or knobs.

Care must be taken since burns can occur from touching hot parts or from spilled hot liquid.

3. To protect against fire, electric shock, and personal injury, do

not immerse cord, plug, power base, or electric kettle in water or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by

or near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow

to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or

after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the

manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot

surfaces, including the stove.

10. Do not place electric kettle on or near a hot gas or electric burner

or in a heated oven.

11. To disconnect electric kettle, turn any control to OFF (O) and

then remove plug from wall outlet. Never pull on cord as this may damage the cord and eventually cause electric shock.

12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

13. Do not use for other than heating water. Other liquids or food

will contaminate the interior and void warranty.

14. Do not allow kettle to boil dry.

15. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage

appliance on the same circuit.

16. Scalding may occur if the lid is opened during the heating cycle.

17. Do not clean glass with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other

abrasive material.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only. WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either a

polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized or grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

Care and Cleaning

To avoid scale/lime deposit buildup, empty kettle after each use.

Wipe the exterior of kettle with a damp cloth. WARNING! Burn Hazard: Do not use abrasive scouring pads or powders since they may scratch the smooth surface of the kettle, causing the glass to break suddenly during use or cleaning.

w WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Do not immerse kettle, power base, or plug in water or other liquid.

If Kettle Floor Discolors: It is normal for stainless steel heating elements to discolor. This does not affect the performance of the kettle. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners since this may damage the stainless steel surface.

If Kettle Boils Dry: The heating element is protected by two automatic safety devices. If your kettle is accidentally switched on without being filled with water, or is allowed to boil dry, the kettle will automatically switch off. You should:

• Turn the switch to OFF (O), unplug, and wait about 20 minutes for

the element to cool down.

• Refill the kettle; then use as normal and check that the kettle functions correctly.

If Kettle Does Not Work: Make these simple checks before calling the toll-free customer service number:

• Have you turned power switch to ON (l) position?

• If the kettle heats but does not boil, it might need descaling.

• Has the kettle been accidentally switched on without being filled with water or allowed to boil dry? Turn the switch to OFF (O), wait 20 minutes, and try again.

• Is cord firmly plugged into the outlet and kettle firmly seated in the base?

To remove discoloration or scale/lime deposit from heating element: Place either 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar (available in the spice aisle of grocery store) or 1 Tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice into the kettle. Then fill the kettle 1/2 full with water. Plug in, turn ON (I), and bring to boil. Turn OFF (O), let cool, and rinse several times with clean tap water.

Anti-Scale Mesh Filter: Scale is caused by lime and calcium in hard water. The mesh filter will prevent these suspended particles from being poured out of the kettle. The filter should be cleaned periodically to ensure optimum performance. To clean the filter, unplug kettle and allow to cool. Gently brush filter with a clean, wet toothbrush. Rinse toothbrush and repeat if necessary.
