READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT THROW AWAY THIS SAFETY GUIDE.
Important Safeguards
Before use, please read these safety warnings carefully and use the kettle properly. These safety warnings are indicated for the safe and proper use of this product, to prevent danger to the user or others, and damage to property.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
-
Corvo EKG’s electric base is small and the kettle’s body looks strikingly similar to our stovetop kettle, but make no mistake, they are not the same! This is an electric kettle that CANNOT be used on a stove.
-
Do not place on or near a hot gas burner or electric burner, in a heated oven, or in a microwave.
-
Do not touch hot surfaces of the product. Use the handle at all times.
-
To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plug, or any other part of the kettle or base in water or other liquid.
-
Never leave Corvo EKG unattended when in use (including when in HOLD mode). Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not use within a child’s reach.
-
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
-
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
-
To disconnect from power source, press main button to switch “OFF” and then remove plug from outlet. Do not pull on cord itself as it may damage cord and eventually cause electric shock.
-
Do not operate Corvo EKG with a damaged cord or plug, if the kettle malfunctions, or if the product has been damaged in any manner.
-
Ensure that your main supply voltage is the same as that marked on the underside of your kettle 120V.
-
To avoid an electrical overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
-
The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by Fellow as it may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
-
Do not use outdoors.
-
Do not place any utensils into the kettle.
-
After unpacking Corvo EKG, dispose carefully of the plastic bags so that children and others cannot reach them.
-
Do not fill above the `max’ fill point as displayed in the diagram below. If the kettle is overfilled, hot water may be ejected. See diagram 1C below for reference. We suggest using only the amount you need to conserve water and energy.
-
Do not operate dry or below the
min’ fill point. Dry boiling the kettle may result in permanent damage and potential fire. The
min’ fill point is one inch above the floor of the kettle. See diagram 1C above for reference.\
-
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
-
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
-
Do not use a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord.
-
Remove the kettle from its power base before filling. Remove all moisture on the bottom of the kettle before placing it onto the power base.
-
Kettle must be operated on a flat surface away from the edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.
-
Never move the kettle and kettle base together while the unit is in use.
-
To avoid burns and risk of personal injury, use extreme caution when carrying kettle containing hot water.
-
Do not use the kettle if your hands are wet.
-
Position the kettle properly on the power base before switching on.
-
Use the kettle only with delivered power base. Do not use any other kettle on delivered base, or any other base with delivered kettle. Use only the original, delivered pair together.
-
After using kettle, wait until kettle has cooled down before removing lid.
-
To avoid possible steam damage, turn spout away from walls or cabinets during use.
-
Use protective pad under kettle after it has been heated to prevent damage to surfaces.
-
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove bottom cover from base or dissassemble base or kettle in any way. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only. Opening base or kettle will result in a void of the one year warranty.
-
Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
-
Do not use for other than intended use. This appliance is intended for household and and commercial use only. Use for anything other than intended use will void the one-year warranty.
-
TO PREVENT SCALDING:
-Never use the kettle without its lid.
-Do not remove the lid while the kettle is boiling.
-Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during brewing/use.
-Be aware of steam being emitted from spout or lid especially during refilling.
-Water can remain hot for a long time after boiling and can present a scalding hazard. Keep the kettle and the kettle base away from the edge of the work surface and out of the reach of children. Do not remove the lid until the kettle cools down. -
GROUNDED PLUG: This appliance has a grounded, three-prong plug and must be grounded with a three-prong outlet when in use. To ensure protection against risk of electric shock or fire, connect to properly grounded outlets only. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
-
DO NOT HEAT AN EMPTY KETTLE: The concealed heating element in the bottom of the kettle is protected by an automatic safety device. If your kettle is accidentally heated without being filled or is allowed to boil dry, it will automatically cool down and then turn the heating element off. If this happens, unplug the kettle, fill with cold water, and wait a few minutes before replacing it on the base and plugging in.

How To Evaluate Tea + Coffee
What do you smell? Look for a subtle bouquet of herbs, fruits, flowers, and other smells. Aroma can help you identify freshness and overall quality, and is a sneaky way to identify any defects or off-tastes in the bean or leaves.
Not to be confused with sourness, which can be a coffee defect, acidity is a brightness that can give tea and coffee life! Look for sweet tartness and delicate crispness in many great teas and coffees. For coffee, in general, dark roasted beans will be less acidic.
Is your drink super sweet or only subtle? Does the sweetness resemble that of caramel, hard candy, or peaches?
Body, or mouthfeel, can be thought of as the weight of the tea and coffee (to simplify, think skim milk vs. 2% vs. whole milk). Is the mouthfeel of your drink light and silky, heavy and rich, or thin and lifeless?
Flavor attempts to identify specific tastes. Floral, fruit, tobacco, wine,
nutty, earthy, spice, and smoky are just a few of the many ways to describe
tea and
coffee. What can you identify?
What lingers after your drink is consumed? Great teas and coffees remain on the tongue even after the drink has been consumed. Look for sweetness and pleasing flavors to endure.
Cleaning Storage
Cleaning
- Before cleaning, be sure the base is unplugged and the kettle has cooled completely. Empty any remaining water from the kettle.
- Wash the inside of the kettle with soapy water and rinse. NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
- Do not place in a dishwasher.
- Wipe the exterior of the kettle and base with a damp cloth or sponge and dry. Do not use abrasive soaps, cleansers, or scouring pads on any part of the kettle as it may damage the finish.
- Over time, the kettle may heat up but won’t boil; this may be due to scaling and mineral deposits which can build up inside the kettle depending on your use and the hardness of the water in your area. When this happens, it’s time for descaling. Use a scale/lime remover and follow its manufacturer’s directions.
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.
