SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Power Cords

1. A short detachable power- supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
   a. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance
   b. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
   c. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded while in use. CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly ground outlets only.

Voltage Selector

1. This kettle was set at the factory to 120V.
2. Make sure the kettle is unplugged and empty prior to changing voltage.
3. Turn the kettle over and locate the voltage selector.
4. Use a flathead screwdriver to turn the voltage selector, aligning with the voltage that is appropriate for your location.
5. When you change the voltage, you will hear a click.
6. For use in the USA and Canada, the voltage selector should be placed in the 120V position. For use in several countries overseas, the voltage selector may need to be placed in the 220-240V position. Confirm the voltage available at each overseas location before using the appliance.
7. For connection to a 220-240V supply, use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for the power supply receptacle.

USING THE KETTLE

Before first use

2. Read the KETTLE SET UP AND OPERATION section.
3. Clean the kettle by filling with clear, cold water to the MAX line.
4. Turn on the kettle and bring to a boil.
5. Let the kettle cool down 1 minute.
6. Empty water from kettle.
7. Repeat steps 3-6 two more times before using.

Kettle Set up and Operation

1. Set the kettle on a flat, even and steady surface.
2. Take off the lid, and fill the kettle with cold water (Fig. A), up to the MAX line.
3.  After filling the kettle with water, place the lid on the kettle, and close firmly. Make sure lid is secured in the proper orientation (Fig. B).
4. Before plugging the kettle into the wall outlet, check that the electrical circuit is not overloaded with other appliances.
5. Plug the power cord into a standard wall outlet (Fig. C).
6. Turn on the I/O switch (Fig. D). The power indicator light will illuminate.
7. When finished boiling, the switch will turn off automatically.
8. Pour the hot water slowly into a vessel (Fig. E).

Note: To manually interrupt the heating process, press the I/O switch at any time.
Note: The kettle lid must be on the kettle during operation to prevent the kettle from boiling dry.

CLEANING

Clean the kettle regularly. This kettle contains no user serviceable parts and requires little maintenance. Leave any servicing or repairs to qualified personnel.

• Clean the outside of the kettle with a damp soft cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers.
• After cleaning, dry the kettle thoroughly.

WARNING:
Do not immerse the kettle in water or any liquids. This may cause electric shock or damage the appliance (Fig. F).

DESCALING

When mineral scale builds up in your kettle, it can affect temperature consistency and slow down boil time. To ensure optimum performance,
Bonavita recommends descaling the kettle when mineral build-up is visible inside the kettle. Bonavita recommends using Full Circle Descaler.
Note: Vinegar may not effectively descale the kettle and can be difficult to thoroughly rinse. Vinegar may also leave behind an odor that could affect future uses.

How to use Full Circle Descaler:

1. Fill the kettle with lukewarm water to the MAX line.
2. Add 1 packet Full Circle Descaler to the kettle.
3. Bring solution to boil.
4. Let vessel cool for 15 minutes, then discard solution.
5. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water.

STORAGE

Clean and dry all parts before storing. Store the kettle in its box or in a clean, dry place. Never wrap the power cord around the kettle.
