When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces or hot water. Use handles or
knobs. Care must be taken since burns can occur from
touching hot parts or from spilled hot liquid.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock, and personal
injury, do not immerse cord, plug, power base, or
electric kettle in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before clean-
ing. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts
and before cleaning.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer
assistance number for information on examination,
repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended
by the manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock,
or personal injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or
touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
10. Do not place electric kettle on or near a hot gas or
electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. To disconnect electric kettle, turn any control to OFF
(
O
) and then remove plug from wall outlet. Never pull
on cord as this may damage the cord and eventually
cause electric shock.
12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
13. Do not use for other than heating water. Other liquids
or food will contaminate the interior and void warranty.
14. Do not allow kettle to boil dry.
15. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit.
16. Scalding may occur if the lid is opened during the
heating cycle.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Other consumer safety information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING!
Shock Hazard: This product is provided with
either a polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong)
plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized or grounded outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any
way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an
electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved exten-
sion cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appli-
ance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension
cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. Care must be
taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.

WARNING
1.
With kettle unplugged, empty any remaining water and
rinse. Allow kettle to cool. The mesh filter may be
removed by pressing on filter tab, which is visible through
the kettle opening. The filter will drop into kettle cavity.
2.
To replace the filter in the spout, position the filter with
tabs toward spout and press filter until it fits into place.
3.
To avoid scale/lime deposit buildup, empty kettle after
each use. To remove discoloration or scale/lime deposit
from heating element: Place 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
(available in the spice aisle of grocery store) into the
kettle. Then fill the kettle 1/2 full with water. Plug in,
turn ON (
I
), and bring to boil. Turn OFF (
O
), let cool, and
rinse several times with clean tap water.
4.
Wipe the exterior of kettle with a damp cloth. Do not
use abrasive scouring pads or powders since they
may scratch the smooth surface of the kettle.
How to use the kettle
BEFORE FIRST USE:
Flip open lid and fill kettle with water to
MAX fill line on the water level window. Push power switch
down to turn the kettle ON (
I
). The kettle will bring the water
to a boil, then shut off automatically. Discard water and repeat
2–3 times, rinsing out kettle each time. The kettle is now
ready for use.
1.
Remove kettle from power base before filling.
2.
Fill kettle with required amount of water. Ensure that
water level is between MIN and MAX on the water level
window. Always keep mesh filter in place.
3.
Make sure that the lid is closed and the power base is on
a level surface.
If lid is not closed, auto shutoff
will not operate.
4.
Plug into outlet and turn ON (
l
).
5.
The kettle will switch OFF (
O
) automatically once the
water has boiled. (Remember, the surface of the kettle
gets hot; take care—only grip the kettle by the handle.)
6.
The kettle may be left on the base once water is heated,
but it is recommended to unplug the cord from outlet.
When finished, make sure cord is unplugged and empty
any water from kettle.
NOTE:
Only use kettle to heat water. If kettle is used to heat
other liquids, such as coffee or tea, the warranty will be voided.
If Kettle Floor Discolors:
It is normal for stainless steel heat-
ing elements to discolor. This does not affect the performance
of the kettle. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners
since this may damage the stainless steel surface.
If Kettle Boils Dry:
The heating element is protected by two
automatic safety devices. If your kettle is accidentally
switched on without being filled with water, or is allowed to
boil dry, the kettle will automatically switch off. You should:
•
Turn the switch to OFF, unplug, and wait about 20 minutes
for the element to cool down.
•
Refill the kettle; then use as normal and check that the
kettle functions correctly.
If Kettle Does Not Work:
Make these simple checks before
calling the toll-free customer assistance number:
• Have you turned power switch to ON (
l
) position?
• If the kettle heats but does not boil, it might need descaling.
• Has the kettle been accidentally switched on without being
filled with water or allowed to boil dry? Turn the switch to
OFF, wait 20 minutes, and try again.
• Is cord firmly plugged into the outlet and kettle firmly seated
in the base?
Anti-Scale Mesh Filter:
Scale is caused by lime and calcium
in hard water. The mesh filter will prevent these suspended
particles from being poured out of the kettle. The filter should
be cleaned periodically to ensure optimum performance. To
clean the filter, unplug kettle and allow to cool. The mesh filter
may be removed by pressing on filter tab, which is visible through
the kettle opening. Rinse filter under running water and brush
with a soft brush. An old, clean toothbrush works well.
Care and cleaning
Burn Hazard.
Do not overfill kettle. Boiling
water may spit out of the spout.

Autres consignes de sécurité pour
le consommateur
Cet appareil est conçu pour une utilisation domestique
seulement.
AVERTISSEMENT !
Risque d’électrocution : Ce produit est
doté d’une fiche polarisée (lame plus large) ou d’une fiche
(2 lames avec mise à la terre) pour réduire le risque d’élec-
trocution. Cette fiche s’insère d’une seule manière dans
une prise avec mise à la terre. Ne pas transformer le
dispositif de sécurité de la fiche en modifiant celle-ci de
quelconque façon ou en utilisant un adaptateur. Si vous
ne pouvez pas insérer complètement la fiche dans la prise,
inversez la fiche. Si elle refuse toujours de s’insérer, faire
remplacer la prise par un électricien.
La longueur du cordon installé sur cet appareil a été sélec-
tionnée afin de réduire les risques d’enchevêtrement ou de
faux pas causés par un fil trop long. L’utilisation d’une
rallonge approuvée est permise, si le cordon est trop court.
Les caractéristiques électriques de la rallonge doivent être
équivalentes ou supérieures aux caractéristiques de
l’appareil.Si cet appareil est doté d’une fiche avec mise à
la terre, la rallonge doit également posséder une prise avec
mise à la terre. Prendre toutes les précautions nécessaires
pour installer la rallonge de manière à ne pas la faire courir
sur le comptoir ou sur une table et pour éviter qu’un enfant
ne tire sur le cordon ou trébuche accidentellement.
Pendant l’utilisation d’appareils électriques, des mesures de
sécurité élémentaires doivent être respectées, incluant les
suivantes :
1. Lire toutes les instructions.
2. Ne pas toucher les surfaces chaudes ou l’eau bouil-
lante. Utiliser les poignées ou les boutons. Prendre
toutes les précautions nécessaires pour éviter les
brûlures causées par les surfaces chaudes ou les
déversements de liquide chaud.
3. Pour éviter le risque d’incendie, d’électrocution et les
blessures, ne pas immerger le cordon, la fiche, le socle
ou la bouilloire électrique dans l’eau ou tout autre
liquide.
4. L’utilisation de tout appareil par ou près des enfants
exige une surveillance accrue.
