CAUTION: Incorrect use of the kettle may cause serious burns; therefore, full attention should be given at all times. To reduce the risk of injury:

• Do NOT touch hot surfaces. Use the handle.
• Do NOT fill the kettle above the “MAX” indicator line. This may cause water to boil over.
• Do NOT remove the lid during the boiling cycle as scalding may occur. Be aware of steam being emitted from the spout or lid, especially during refilling. Position the lid so that steam is directed away from the handle.
• ALWAYS handle with care when there is hot water inside the kettle to avoid scalding or burns.

• Only use the kettle as directed in this manual.
• Do NOT use the kettle to heat anything other than water. Do NOT turn the kettle on if there is a possiblity of frozen water in the kettle.
• Do NOT cover the spout opening while the kettle is in operation.
• Do NOT operate the kettle if the water is below the “MIN” indicator line.
• To avoid spillage on the connector, do NOT fill the kettle when it is positioned on the power base. Dry the bottom of the kettle before placing it onto the power base.
• Do NOT use the kettle if it is damaged, malfunctioning, or if the power cord or plug is damaged in any way. Do NOT try to repair the kettle. Contact Customer Support.

Plug and Power Cord Safety

• Do NOT let the power cord (or any extension cord) hang over the edge of a table or counter. Do NOT allow the power cord to touch hot surfaces. Arrange the power cord so that it cannot be pulled on by children, become entangled, or tripped over.
• Use extension cords with care. The marked electrical rating of an extension cord should be at least as high as the rating of the kettle (see page 5).
• The kettle has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other), which fits into a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature to reduce the risk of electric shock. If the plug does not fit, do NOT use the plug in that outlet. Do NOT bypass this safety feature.
• For additional protection, we recommend the use of a power outlet with a rated current of 10 A. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high-amperage appliance on the same circuit.
