3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5. Water can remain hot for a considerable time after boiling and can present a safety hazard.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. If there is any damage to the electric kettle please contact customer service. Users must not repair it themselves.
8. Position the kettle to the rear of the work surface and don’t let the power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. When the electric kettle is idle for a  long time, disconnect the power cord.
9. Don’t insert pins, wires, or other items into any gaps or openings in the electric kettle to avoid electric shock.
10. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow cooling before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
11. Always attach plug to appliances first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off,” unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Do not disconnect by pulling on the cord.
12. The kettle is only to be used with the stand provided. Don’t use this product on sloping countertops or unstable countertops. Keep away from heat sources to avoid damaging plastic parts. Don’t place it near or above any electrical appliances. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or heated oven.
13. Don’t exceed the indicated maximum water level. If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may be ejected.
14. If there is no water in the kettle, please don’t leave it running dry, otherwise, it will affect the service life of the product.

25. Do not collapse the kettle with water inside.
    Warning: Do not switch on if there is a possibility that the water in the pot is frozen.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Cord Safety:

1. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and 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  equal to the electrical rating of the appliance;
   b) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a groundingtype3-wire cord; and
   c) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Electrical 3-Prong Plug:

The appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding-type plug. It should be properly connected to a grounding-type outlet. The plug is designed to fit ONLY a 3-grounding outlet unit, and as such, the grounding prong should never be removed. If needed, a 2-prong adapter may be used if local codes allow it.
