of the kettle to change the temperature,
heat, and hold temperature.
Battery activation (optional)
Volts: 120 V.A.C.
Hertz: 60 Hz
NOTE: The Water Kettle has a 3 prong
grounded plug. To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, this plug will t in an outlet
only one way. If the plug does not t in the

modify the plug in any way.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualied
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.
Longer detachable power supply cords
or extension cords are available and may
be used.
If a longer detachable power supply cord
or extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the cord
set 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 groundingtype 3-wire cord.
- The cord should be arranged so that it
will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.

NOTE: If calcium deposits remain on the filter, let it stand overnight in a solution of water
and white vinegar. Rinse the filter thoroughly and replace in the Electric Kettle.
CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the lter
Removing mineral deposits from the interior
1
To access filter: Open the lid; the
filter is located behind spout inside
Electric Kettle. Grasp the top of
the filter to remove.
1
Fill the Electric Kettle with white vinegar
to the 1 cup (.25 L) mark. Add water

The Electric Kettle features a removable mesh lter that traps scale deposits for cleaner
water. The lter will need to be cleaned periodically—more often if you have hard water.
To get the best performance from your
Electric Kettle, decalcication will be
necessary. Calcium deposits may form on
the interior metal parts of the Electric Kettle.
The cleaning interval will depend on the
hardness of the water you put in the
Electric Kettle.

Electric Kettle.
