A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. 
An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the tea kettle. 
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
The extension cord, if used, 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.

Before First Use

  1.  Become familiar with the various parts of the tea kettle (Fig. A) and read and 

follow the instructions carefully.

 

  Your tea kettle will be shipped fully assembled. The infuser will be attached 

to the cover and the cover will be on the tea kettle.

  2.  Prior to making your first pot of tea, it is suggested that you boil water in the 

tea kettle to thoroughly rinse the appliance. It may contain some manufac-
turing oil or residue. 

Do not use any soap or cleaning compounds in the 

water.

 

  Always be sure the tea kettle is unplugged from the wall outlet before filling 

with water.

 

  Remove the cover and the infuser (it is attached to the cover) from the tea 

kettle by holding the tea kettle handle with one hand. Then use your other 
hand to grasp the cover knob. Pull the cover off. Next, fill the tea kettle to 
the top of the fill mark, the triangular shaped rib that is inside the spout (see 
Fig. B). Then place the cover (with the infuser still attached) back on the tea 
kettle and plug unit into wall outlet. When water begins to boil, unplug from 
wall outlet and carefully discard heated water.

 

  DO NOT IMMERSE TEA KETTLE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.

Timer Operating Instructions

Note: The timer works independently from the unit; it does not turn the unit on or off.
  1.  Activate the timer by holding the button (Fig. C) down until 00 is visible in the display screen.
  2.  Press the button once for each individual minute or hold the button down to increase the display 

time rapidly until you have reached the desired time. The timer can be set for 1 to 30 minutes.

 

  The timer will automatically begin counting down approximately two seconds after it is set. Note: 

Shortly after you depress the button, the time remaining will flash on the screen. It will continue to 
flash until the time has elapsed.

 

  To reset the timer to zero, press the timer button for about two seconds.

  3.  When there is just one minute left on the timer, you will hear two beeps to alert you that 

time is almost up. In addition, the seconds remaining will now be displayed.

 

  When the set time has expired, the timer will beep five times. After about one minute, 

the display screen will go blank.

 

  Note: If for some reason the timer does not beep, this can be corrected by simply remov-

ing the battery, wiping it clean, and then reinserting it. (See page 4 for battery removal 
instructions.)

How To Use the Tea Kettle

  1.  Remove the cover/infuser assembly from the tea kettle and set it aside. (Refer to the 

Before First Use

 section above for instruc-

tions on removal of the cover/infuser assembly).

  2. 

Always be sure the tea kettle is unplugged from the wall outlet before filling with water.

 

 

  Fill the tea kettle with 2 to 5 cups* of water. The maximum fill level is indicated inside the spout with a triangle (see Fig. B). Do 

not fill beyond this triangle. Overfilling may result in hot water boiling out of the spout. Do not heat less than 2 cups* of water. 
In order for the thermometer probe to get an accurate temperature reading of the water, it must be inserted into at least 2 cups* of 
water.

  3.  Detach the infuser from the cover by rotating the cover counterclockwise until you hear it click. Then pull the cover off the rim of 

the infuser and set the infuser aside.

*One cup equals 8 ounces.
