the power base supplied. Use caution
when pouring water from your kettle,
as boiling water will scald. Do not

once the water has boiled. Lift the kettle
from the power base and pour the water.
Take care to hold the kettle level, especially
when filled to the maximum level. To re-boil
it may be necessary to wait for a few seconds
to allow the control to reset.

required, unplug the power cord and empty
the water from the kettle. Replace the kettle
