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 this safety feature.

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.

Do not use an extension cord with this product.

PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the

countertop or tabletop or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC
coasters or placemats between the appliance and the finish of the
countertop or tabletop.

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

ELECTRIC POWER

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

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Boil a Kettle of water following the Operating Instructions below.
Discard the water.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Do not immerse Power Base, power cord, or plug

in water or any other liquid.

1. Place Power Base on a level surface such
as a countertop or table.
The Power Base must be dry before use.

2. Raise the ON/OFF Lever into the OFF
position. (See Figure 2.)

3. Remove Kettle from the Power Base by
lifting up.

4. Open the Lid by pressing down the Lid
Release Button under the handle. (See
Figure 3.) Fill the Kettle with the desired
amount of water while continuing to press
the Button. DO NOT fill ABOVE the MAX
level or BELOW the MIN level as indicated
on the Water Window. Release Button to
lower Lid. Wipe excess water off the Kettle.

CAUTION: Do not fill above the MAX

water level. This could cause boiling
water to splatter out.

NOTE: If the Kettle is accidentally

switched ON without sufficient water,
a boil-dry protection device will
automatically turn the unit OFF.
(See boil-dry protection explanation.)

NOTE: If the Lid is not properly closed,

the Kettle will not automatically
shut OFF.

CAUTION: To avoid the risk of splashing

while pouring hot water, make sure
the Lid is securely closed onto the
Kettle before operation.

5. Place the Kettle on the Power Base,
engaging the connector into the bottom of
the Kettle. Be careful not to spill any water
onto the Power Base.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

6. Plug the Power Base into a 120V ~ 60 Hz electrical outlet.

7. Press the ON/OFF Lever down, into the ON position. The Indicator
Light inside the Lever will illuminate.

8. When the water comes to a boil, the Kettle will automatically shut
off and the Indicator Light will turn off.

NOTE: The Kettle can be turned OFF any time during the

heating process by lifting the ON/OFF Lever up.

WARNING: This appliance generates heat and escaping

steam during use. Proper precautions must be taken to
prevent the risk of burns, fires, or other injury to persons
or damage to property. Keep hands and face clear of the
area above the Kettle.

9. Remove the Kettle from the Power Base before pouring.

CAUTION: Always make sure the Kettle is OFF before

removing it from the Power Base.

CAUTION: To avoid a risk of splashing, make sure the Lid is

securely closed onto the Kettle before operation. Pour
slowly and don’t over tilt the Kettle.

CAUTION: Do not touch hot surfaces! When you lift the Kettle

from the Power Base you may notice moisture on the
Power Base surface. This is the steam used to switch the
Kettle OFF automatically, which then condenses and
escapes through the vents in the underside of the Kettle.
This is normal and should be ignored.

10. To reheat water, check the water level to ensure it is above the MIN
water level. If necessary, add more water, then place Kettle back
onto Power Base. Be careful not to spill any water onto the Power
Base. Press ON/OFF Lever down, into the ON position.

CAUTION: When refilling, take care when lifting the Lid, as

the Kettle, if hot, may be full of steam. Keep your face,
hands, etc. clear of the opening.

11. Unplug the Power Base when not in use. Allow it to cool before
reuse. Empty the Kettle after each use. Do not leave water in the
Kettle overnight.

BOIL-DRY PROTECTION

A safety thermostat will automatically operate should your Kettle be
accidentally plugged in without any water, or if the Kettle is without
sufficient water, or if the Kettle is allowed to boil dry. To reset the boil­dry protection device, you must remove the Kettle from the Power
Base and allow it to cool before refilling with water.
