always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or
injury to persons including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this product.
2. This appliance generates heat during use. Do not touch hot
surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not place or immerse cord,
plugs, or appliance, including the power base, in water or other
liquid.
4. This appliance is not to be used by children or by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities. Keep the appliance
and its cord out of reach of children.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near
children. Children should not play with the appliance.
6. WARNING: The plug must be fully inserted into kettle (models
with detachable cord only). To ensure full insertion, verify the
marking on the plug is not visible. A loose contact may cause
overheating.
7. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
8. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after
the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner.
Do not attempt to replace or splice a damaged cord. Return
appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination,
repair or adjustment.
9. The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
10. Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
11. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces, including the stove.
12. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated
oven.
13. Ensure that the kettle is properly located on the power base before
switching ON. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug
cord into the wall outlet (for appliances with detachable cords). To
disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then remove plug from wall
outlet. Do not disconnect by pulling on cord.
14. Do not use appliance for other than intended use. Misuse can cause
injuries. Always use appliance on a dry, stable, level surface. Keep
the kettle away from the edge of the countertop.
15. WARNING: Do not remove the lid while the water is boiling. All
lids should be closed during use.
16. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during or immediately
after the heating cycle. Contents may be hot. Allow to cool before
opening the lid. Keep spout away from persons, as scalding can
result from steam.
17. Do not exceed the MAX water level mark when filling. Overfilling
could cause hot water to boil out of the spout, which can cause
burns.
18. The heating base and heating element is subject to residual heat
following a heating cycle. Do not touch heating base or heating
element immediately after a heating cycle. Allow to cool before
handling.

kettle containing boiling water.
22. If your kettle comes with a grounded plug, connect to properly
grounded outlets only.
For appliances with glass containers:
23. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as rinsing, washing, filling,
or immersing a hot container with cold liquids.
24. Do not use a cracked or chipped container or a container having a
loose or weakened handle.
25. Do not clean container with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other
abrasive material.
