SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (contd)

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:
2. The cord 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 unintentionally.
3. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on a cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into an outlet.
3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced. Please return it to an authorized service representative.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
This appliance must be grounded while in use.
CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against the risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.

GENERAL USE
For everyday use follow steps 1-6 listed above to ensure best results.
NOTE: The power source will only work if the kettle is placed directly on the base unit.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Unplug your unit and allow it to cool before cleaning. Rinse the kettle or wash with warm soapy water. Wipe the outside of the kettle and the base of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Be sure that the electric kettle socket is kept dry during all cleaning. Spout Filter – This kettle has a filter to keep the water clean. Run the filter under hot water and gently rub it with a clean cloth or brush. Dry all parts after every use. Never immerse the kettle or power base in water. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

DE-CALCIFICATION
De-calcification refers to removing mineral deposits, which may form in the interior of the kettle and may result in discoloration. To get the best performance from your unit, decalcify your unit from time to time. The frequency will depend on the hardness of your water and how often you use the unit. We suggest using a kettle descaler in order to dissolve these deposits or scale. Follow the directions on the descaler package. If a commercial descaler is not available, fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about ½ inch. Heat the vinegar to a boil. Repeat this with cooled vinegar until all deposits are removed. When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse it out several times with clean water.

Note: Reheating tea in your kettle may result in a bronze color tea stain appearance on the stainless steel surface at the base of the kettle. This is caused by tea residue that adheres to the bottom of the kettle when reheated at high temperatures. After a few cycles, the surface of the stainless base may begin to turn a bronze color. To avoid tea staining, do not reheat the same pot of tea twice, and always rinse the inside of your kettle before each brew. To remove the bronze color staining, dilute a small amount of food-grade white vinegar in a fresh kettle full of water and boil. This will remove the staining and/or any mineral deposits that may build up in your kettle. After boiling, allow to cool and thoroughly wash and dry before your next use.
