Clarity
CORDLESS GLASS ELECTRIC KETTLE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Pure and Simple
They say a watched pot never boils, but with stainless
steel construction and crystal-clear borosilicate glass, it
will be hard to look away.
The Clarity Cordless Glass Electric Kettle provides peace
of mind through thoughtful details like an auto shut-off
safety feature and BPA-free borosilicate glass to provide
thermal shock protection. The Kettle features a generous
opening for easy lling and a comfortable handle for a
secure grip that stays cool to the touch, as well as a softopen lid that slowly releases steam and prevents splatter.
Cordless convenience and elegant design allow the
Kettle to move seamlessly between kitchen and table.
Whether you’re creating a delicious cup of hot chocolate
or serving afternoon tea, the OXO Clarity Kettle ensures
a pure and enjoyable experience.
