Perfect for at home or in the office, the kettle’s rapid-boil technology means you can be steeping in mere minutes. The red and green LED indicator lights that run along the bottom of the kettle make it easy to see at a glance when your water is ready.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
For your safety and continued enjoyment of this product, always read the
instruction manual before using.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:
- Read all instructions.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse the cord, plug, charging base, or unit in water or other liquids.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. If this should occur, contact Chefman® Customer Support.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Chefman® may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place the unit near or on any type of heat source, such as a gas or electric burner, stove, or oven, even if not on. Do not use near an open flame or flammable materials.
- To disconnect, turn any control to off, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
- Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
- Scalding may occur if the lid is opened during the heating cycle.
- Ensure the lid is securely closed before serving any beverages.
- Do not set a hot container on a wet or cold surface.
- Do not use a cracked container or a container having a loose or weakened handle.
- Do not clean the container with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive materials.
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury or electrical shock.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of 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:
- The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
- The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS
- Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
- To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the outlet.
- To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
- Never use the product if the power cord shows signs of abrasion or excessive wear. Contact Chefman® Customer Support for additional guidance and support.
- 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 APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
To rinse the pot of any packing debris, “brew” a pot of plain water without
tea. To do so, follow the directions below.
-
Remove all packing materials. Be sure that all parts are included before discarding any packaging.
-
Pull out the power cord from the compartment under the base, and place base on a flat surface. (Make sure the power cord comes out of the opening in the base so the unit can sit level.)
-
To rinse the pot of any manufacturing residue, “brew” a pot of plain water without tea. To do so, lift off the lid and fill the kettle with water to the MAX line.
-
Put the lid with the infuser attached (but empty) back in the kettle.
Place the kettle on the base unit, and plug into a power outlet. -
Switch the kettle on by pressing the power switch. The red LED lights inside the kettle will illuminate to indicate the water is heating.
-
Once the kettle boils, empty it (discarding the water), then rinse it with fresh water.
HOW TO MAKE TEA WITH TEA INFUSER
- Remove the infuser from the lid by twisting it and sliding it in the direction indicated on the lid.
- Add fresh, cold water to the kettle to at least the MIN line and not past the MAX line.
- Fill the infuser with tea. Use loose tea (about 2 teaspoons per cup) or tea bags based on the amount of water you are heating. (Wait to insert the infuser until the kettle has come to a boil.)
- Turn the kettle on by pressing the switch. The red LED lights inside the kettle will illuminate to indicate the water is heating.
- Once the water has boiled, the LED lights in the kettle will turn green. Carefully lift off the kettle lid. Slide the tea-filled infuser onto the underside of the lid (a slight twist helps), insert it into the kettle, and press the lid to close.
- Let tea steep according to directions or as you like. When finished steeping, carefully remove the infuser by lifting off the lid. If you would like to return the lid to the kettle, let the infuser cool (you can run it under water), then carefully twist/pull it off, and return the lid (without the infuser) to the kettle; press to close.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO HEAT WATER WITHOUT MAKING TEA
Follow the directions for making tea with the infuser but leave the tea and
infuser out of the kettle. Use hot water as desired.
BOIL-DRY PROTECTION
The kettle comes equipped with boil-dry protection. While you should never
heat the kettle without water at least to the MIN line, should the unit go dry
or start without water, it will automatically shut off completely to avoid
damaging the heating element. It will not come back on, even if you replace it
to the base, until it has cooled down.
AUTOMATIC KEEP WARM FUNCTION
As soon as the kettle comes to a boil, its LED lights switch from red to
green, indicating that it is in Keep Warm mode. The kettle will keep your
water or tea hot for up to 1 hour. Lifting the kettle from its base will turn
the Keep Warm function off.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Clean the interior of the kettle as needed by removing the infuser and carefully rinsing the inside with soapy water. Rinse the inside of the kettle thoroughly. Wipe the outside of the kettle and power base with a damp cloth. WARNING: Never immerse the kettle or power base in water or wash in the dishwasher; doing so will damage the unit.
- To clean the spout filter, rinse it under hot water while gently rubbing with a clean cloth or brush. Do not remove the filter from the spout.
- Wash tea infuser in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly; the infuser is not dishwasher safe.
GENERAL CLEANING NOTE
Reheating tea in your kettle may result in a bronze-colored tea stain on the
kettle. This is caused by tea residue that adheres when reheated at high
temperatures. 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-colored staining, add a small amount of food-grade white vinegar to a
fresh kettle full of water and boil. After boiling, allow the kettle to cool,
discard the water, and thoroughly wash and dry the kettle before your next
use.
DECALCIFYING
Due to minerals in water, deposits may form on the base of the kettle and cause discoloration. To get the best performance from your kettle, decalcify it from time to time. Frequency will depend on the hardness of your water and how often you use the kettle. You can either use a commercial descaler or use vinegar and water and follow the directions below:
- Fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about 1 /2 inch. Heat the vinegar to a boil.
- Repeat this with fresh vinegar until all deposits are removed.
- When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse it out several times with clean water.
