ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Voltage: 120 VAC
Frequency: 60 Hz
Wattage: 1000 W
NOTE: The Precision 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.

CHANGING THE FLOW CONTROL
TIP: Prior to first use, fill the Precision Kettle with room temperature water and
pour at each flow control setting to become familiar with the different flow rates.
ENGLISH
Your Precision Kettle has 3 flow
control settings. The flow control
1
lever inside the kettle is used to
change the settings.
NOTE: After heating water, be sure to empty the Precision Kettle and allow it to cool
completely before changing the flow rate settings.
TIP: The flow control lever is meant to come out for cleaning. If you pull up too far
while changing the flow rate settings and the lever comes out, it can easily slide back
into place.
Push the lever down for more
restricted flow; pull the lever up
2
for less restricted flow.
FILLING THE PRECISION KETTLE WITH WATER
Remove the lid from the Precision
1
Kettle and fill with water.
