outside of the kettle body stays cool. And notice how quiet the kettle is while boiling water!

whenever handling and dispensing water from your new kettle.

First Use of the Electric Kettle
• Read all safety and operating instructions carefully before using the Kettle for the first time. An adult should
provide close supervision if Kettle is being used by children or handicapped or infirm.
• For new Kettles, do not use the first filling of boiled water, discard it, rinse out the Kettle and refill with fresh water.

Electric Kettle
• The appliance has two parts:
a) Base unit with electrical connector and power cord.
b) Removable Kettle with electrical connector.
• The Kettle can only be used with the power base unit supplied with the kettle. Base unit and Kettle must bear
the same model number. The Kettle lid must be fully closed when heating the water. It is equipped with a twist
lock so it does not open unintentionally while the water is being poured. To open the kettle, simply grasp the
handle and with the other hand push on the lid release lever counterclockwise

turn with the thumb.
• Unwind the power cord to the desired length before plugging the cord into a powered outlet.
• This appliance has a three way grounded power plug. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by using a three-
to-two way adapter. If your receptacle is only two way without a ground seek help from a licensed electrician.
• Remove Kettle from the base. Fill Kettle with at least three cups (0.7 liters) of water to prevent it from running
dry during the boiling process. Do not fill the Kettle above the maximum line shown on the water gauge
inside the kettle to prevent boiling water from splashing out through the spout. If overfilled and water flows
down outside of Kettle and onto its bottom, shut “OFF” and unplug unit, empty the Kettle, dry base thoroughly
and refill Kettle carefully before setting onto base unit. Water on the bottom of the Kettle can lead to an electric
shock. (See further instructions.)
• After filling with at least 3 cups of water, place the Kettle on the base unit.
• To close the lid, seat the lid down, with the lid release lever slightly to the left to the handle, then twist
clockwise
