To prevent electrical shock, personal injury or property damage, read and
follow all instructions and warnings.
Electricity Precautions
•
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs or other electric
parts in water or other liquids.
•
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
•
Do not operate when the appliance is not working properly or when it has been
damaged in any manner. For service information see warranty page.
•
Do not use this appliance outdoors.
•
Do not plug cord into electrical outlet unless power switch is in “OFF” position.
•
Always switch unit to “OFF” position and unplug from electrical outlet when not in
use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and
before cleaning.
•
Always ensure kettle is switched to “OFF” position before removing from the
power base.
•
Your Kettle has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling, tripping or
entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the
counter, table or other area or touch hot surfaces.
•
While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make
sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the Kettle (wattage is stamped
on the underside of the Kettle base). To avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement
position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter,
table or other area.
•
Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the Kettle. On a
polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. If the plug does not
fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit fully, contact a qualified electrician. Do not alter the plug.
•
Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
•
Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during
operation.
