IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

2. To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons,
do not immerse cord, plugs, Power Base or Kettle in water or
other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.

4. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before
cleaning the Kettle or Power Base.

5. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug
or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in
any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized
service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

6. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by
the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock
or injury.

7. Do not use outdoors.

8. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter
or touch hot surfaces.

9. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a
heated oven.

10. To disconnect the appliance, make sure the Switch is OFF,
then remove the plug from the electrical outlet.

11. Do not use the Kettle other than for heating water.

12. Water can remain hot for some considerable time after
boiling and can present a scalding hazard.

13. Scalding may occur if the Lid is removed during the boiling
cycle or while the Kettle is hot.

14. Ensure that the Kettle is properly located on the Power Base
before switching it on.

15. Use the Kettle only with the Power Base supplied.

16. Remove the Kettle from its Power Base before filling
or pouring.

3-PRONG GROUNDED TYPE PLUG

This appliance is equipped with a grounded type 3-wire cord (3­prong plug). This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for
a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug should fail to fit
the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the Grounding
Pin part of the 3-prong plug.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided 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 care is exercised in their use.

If a longer detachable power-supply or extension cord is used,
(1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and (2) 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 accidentally.

The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

ELECTRIC POWER

If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your
appliance may not operate. It should be operated on a separate
electrical circuit.

PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the
finish of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place
NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance
and the finish of the counter top or table top.

Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent
blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

INTRODUCTION

The OPTEC™ DISC heating element fitted in your Russell Hobbs
Kettle is a revolutionary new concept in water heating
technology, making it one of the fastest, most efficient Kettles
available today.

The OPTEC™ DISC converts more of your electricity into usable
heat and allows better heat transfer from element to water—
which means less power wasted and faster boiling times.

The OPTEC™ DISC heating element is resistant to the permanent
build-up of scale which can degrade the performance of a
traditional element, causing overheating and shortening its life.
