How to Use
This unit is for household use only.
GETTING STARTED
1. Remove all packing material and any stickers from the product.
2. Before first use, wash the interior of the kettle with hot soapy water.
3.
Rinse well until water comes out clear.
Important:
NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS or
place in a dishwasher.
4. Wash the removable scale filter with warm soapy water and rinse well.
5. Place the kettle on a level surface, allow enough space for the steam to escape
without damaging the counters, cabinets or walls.
6. Fill the kettle with 2 cups of cold tap water and 1 cup of vinegar. Bring to boil
and discard.
7. Fill the kettle with at least 6 cups of cold tap water. Bring to boil and discard.
Repeat. Kettle is now ready for use.
Note:
The kettle only operates when the ON switch is in the ON position. The
kettle will automatically shut off once the water has boiled and when there is no
more water in the kettle.
Warning: This product is protected by a boil dry safety device. If the kettle is
accidentally left plugged in without being filled or is allowed to boil to a very
low level, it will automatically repeat a cycle of turning off, cooling down, and
coming back on unless unplugged.
Tip:
For best results, before using the kettle again unplug it and wait 5 to 10
minutes for the heating elements to cool down. Then refill the kettle with cold
tap water and plug it back in for normal use.
BOILING WATER
1. Fill with desired amount of cold tap water (from 3 to 7
1
⁄
2
cups) through the pour
spout.
Important:
Do not overfill the kettle. The kettle should have at least 3 cups of
cold tap water in it before using it. Make sure the water level is below the bottom
of the pour spout. This prevents the boiling water from spilling onto the counter.
Note: Do not operate the kettle without water.
2. Plug the kettle into a standard electrical outlet. The ON switch with indicator
light comes on.
3. Press the
ON
switch to the
ON
position. The water begins to heat up.
4. When the water boils, the kettle and the indicator light will automatically shut
off.
Warning: This product is protected by a boil dry safety device. If the kettle is
accidentally left plugged in without being filled or is allowed to boil to a very
low level, it will automatically repeat a cycle of turning off, cooling down, and
coming back on unless unplugged.
Important:
Do not try to hold the switch in the ON position once the water has
boiled.
5. Unplug the kettle when not in use.
6. Pick up the kettle by the cool-touch handle.
Warning: The kettle when filled with boiling water is hot on the outside.
Use only the cool-touch handle to pick it up.
