4 | ELECTRIC KETTLE SAFETY

Volts: 120 V~
Hertz: 60 Hz
Wattage: 1500 W
NOTE: The Electric 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 service technician 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 tripped over a longer cord.
