OPERATING YOUR ELECTRIC KETTLE
OPERATING YOUR ELECTRIC KETTLE
INITIAL USE
Before first use, run the kettle through several cleaning cycles following the instructions below to
remove factory material or dust from the interior. Discard the water from these cleaning cycles.
OPERATION
1. To fill the kettle, remove it from Power Base
and open the Lid by pressing the Lid Release
Button on top of Lid (Fig. 2). Fill the kettle with
the desired amount of water, ensuring the water
level does not sit below the MIN marking or
exceed the MAX level. Close Lid, checking that
the Lid Latch on the inside front of kettle is not
obstructed and the lid closes completely.
Alternatively, the kettle may be filled through
the spout without opening the lid.
NOTE: Do not over or under-fill kettle. Too little
water will result in the kettle switching off before
the water has boiled. If water is over the MAX
level it may spill out of the spout when boiling
and cause injury.
2. Place kettle on Power Base (Fig. 3). Rotate
kettle as needed so the spout faces away from
you.
NOTE: Both Power Base and kettle can be
rotated by 360 degrees to allow the plug to
connect easily with the power outlet. Excess
cord length can be stored in the Power Base and
secured with cord storage hooks.
3. Plug kettle into a power outlet. The six lights
on the control panel will flash once with a “beep”
sound indicating the kettle is powered on. The
kettle will then default to flashing only the 212°F
BOIL indicator (Fig. 4). If a button is not pressed
within 15 seconds, the indicator light will turn
off and the kettle will enter standby mode.
CAUTION
The filled water level must be between the Max and Min level as indicated on
the housing. Too little water will do damage to the heat element. Water overfill
may cause boiling water to overflow out of the kettle.

OPERATION (continued)
4. Press the START button to immediately start heating the water to the default level of 212°F
(100°C). The water level indicator window will light up to indicate that the kettle is heating up.
When the water has boiled, the window light will turn off and an audible “beep beep” will sound.
The indicator light below the selected temperature will stay on for 15 seconds and then turn off
and the kettle will enter standby mode.
5. To choose a different temperature, press the SELECT button repeatedly to cycle through the
options. The indicator light will flash at 1 second intervals below each temperature option. Press
START to start heating the water to the indicated temperature.
6. Press the KEEP WARM button to activate Keep Warm mode. When the water reaches your select-
ed temperature, the audible signal will sound and the indicator light below your selected
temperature will flash for 3 seconds at a time. The kettle will automatically reheat the water when
it drops below the selected temperature. Keep Warm mode will automatically end after 30
minutes and the kettle will enter standby mode.
7. Using the cool-touch handle, carefully lift the kettle from the power base to pour the water. Do
not touch the exterior of the kettle or open the lid at any time during the boiling process or while
the water is hot.
8. Press the CANCEL button at any time to stop the kettle from operating and return it to default
settings.
9. When it is lifted from the Power Base, the kettle will shut off and all settings will return to
default. The kettle can be stored on the Power Base when not in use. Ensure the power supply is
turned off when kettle is not in use.
BOIL-DRY PROTECTION
The kettle will automatically switch off if it boils empty or if it is started without water inside. If this
occurs, unplug the kettle and wait for it to cool completely before using it again.
TEMPERATURE PRE-SETS
Different types of tea and tisanes have various optimal brewing temperatures to extract
maximum flavor without scalding or burning the leaves. Brewing at a higher temperature than
recommended can result in a bitter flavor. Your kettle has 6 pre-programmed settings, clearly
labeled with the temperature and type of beverage so you can easily steep the perfect cup of tea
or coffee.
CAUTION
Be very careful when pouring water from the kettle as both the hot water
and steam can scald you. To avoid injury, do not open the lid or touch
the exterior of the kettle except for the cool-touch handle and control panel
at any time while the water is hot.
