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:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The longer 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.

POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the outlet.
3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4. Never use the product if the power cord shows signs of abrasion or excessive wear. Contact Chefman® Customer Support for additional guidance and support.
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 APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

California Proposition 65: (Applicable for California Residents only)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Read all instructions and follow them carefully.
2. Remove all packing materials and stickers from the inside and outside of the kettle. Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel.
3. Lift off the lid, fill with water to the MAX fill line (1.2 L) and bring to a boil following the instructions below.
4. Discard the boiled water, then rinse the kettle with fresh water. Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord, or plug in water or any other liquid. The electrical connections and the On/Off switch must never come into contact with water or any other liquid.

HOW TO USE

1. Wedge the power cord into the notch on the 360° swivel base. Place the base on a flat, sturdy surface away from water splashes and any sources of heat. Plug cord into outlet.

2. Remove kettle from base if attached. Lift off the lid. Fill with desired amount of water. Do not exceed the MAX fill line (1.2 L), and do not fill below the MIN fill line (0.5 L). NOTE: Only use the kettle to heat water.

3. Return the lid to the kettle.

4. Place the kettle onto the base. Ensure that both the kettle and base are steady on the flat, sturdy surface.

5. Press the On/Off switch to turn the kettle on. The blue LED lights inside the kettle will illuminate to indicate the water is heating. Small bubbles will begin to form in the water to indicate the water is heating up, then large ones to indicate it’s boiling. Once the water comes to a boil, the kettle and On/Off indicator light will automatically turn off.
   CAUTION: The kettle and water inside will be very hot. Handle with care. If choosing to open the lid when there is hot water inside, do so carefully. Hot steam may escape.

6. Use the handle to lift the kettle off the base. Carefully pour into desired vessel, i.e., cup, bowl, etc.

7. Return the kettle to the base. Press On/Off switch at any time to reheat the water (ensuring first that it is above the MIN line).

BOIL-DRY PROTECTION
If the kettle starts to heat without enough water, it will automatically turn off to avoid any potential damage.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR KETTLE

1. Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool.

2. Once it’s completely cool, gently wipe down exterior of the kettle with a damp cloth or paper towel.

3. Rinse the inside with water. WARNING: Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the plug in water or any other liquid.
   IMPORTANT: The electrical connections and the On/Off switch must never come into contact with water or any other liquid.

4. To clean the spout filter, rinse it under hot water while gently rubbing it with a clean cloth or brush. Do NOT remove the spout filter.

5. Dry completely.

DESCALING
For the best-tasting hot water, descale the kettle regularly to remove any mineral deposits that may accumulate over time and cause discoloration. Descaling is recommended at least once a month, or more regularly if your water is very hard.
You can descale using either a commercial descaling solution, following the manufacturer’s instructions, or using white vinegar. To descale with white vinegar: Fill the kettle with ¼ L water and ¼ L white vinegar and switch it on to boil. Once the mixture comes to a boil and the kettle shuts off, let it stand for 1 hour. Empty the kettle and rinse with water 5 to 6 times. Repeat if necessary.

NEVER USE A DESCALING METHOD
OTHER THAN RECOMMENDED.
