• Read all instructions. Use this product only as described in this manual.
• Keep the packaging material (cardboard, plastic, etc.) out of the reach of children (danger of asphyxiation or injury).
• To protect against fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons do not immerse cord, plugs, or Kettle/base in water or other liquid.
• Do not place anything on top of the lid.
• Do not open the lid during operation as scalding may occur.
• Do not move the appliance while it is switched on.
• Do not operate Kettle on an inclined surface.
• Always use the Kettle on a dry, level surface well away from the edge of any countertop.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance has malfunctioned or has been damaged in any way or is not operating properly. Contact OXO Customer Service at 800-545-4411.  Do not return to the store.
• When using this appliance, provide adequate air space above and on all sides for circulation. Do not use under cabinetry.
• Do not overfill Kettle past the “MAX” fill line. Do not under-fill beneath the “MIN” line.
• Do not allow Kettle to boil dry.
• Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or where it could touch a heated oven.
• Do not touch hot surfaces, including the glass or metal areas on the Kettle or the inside of the base after use. Touch only the handle and on/off button.
• Handle the Kettle with care at all times. Do not use Kettle if it is cracked or the handle is loose.
• Do not allow glass kettle to come in contact with hard or sharp material. The glass kettle is fragile and can break if dropped or struck with hard/sharp material.
• Take care to keep fingers, hair, clothing, and other objects clear while removing the Kettle from and returning it to the base.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. Do not let the cord hang over or touch hot surfaces or become knotted.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow cooling before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not put any substances other than water and descaling products into the Kettle. Never attempt to cook or warm food in the Kettle.
• Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off,”  then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
• Do not touch the Kettle during a boiling cycle. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed/opened during the boiling cycles.
• Do not use this appliance for anything other than its intended use.
• Do not use outdoors.
• This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance is equipped with a power cord that has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The appliance must be grounded using a 3-hole  properly grounded outlet. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. If the power outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord or use an adapter. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not plug this appliance into an outlet with a voltage other than specified on the bottom of the Kettle.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of this appliance, located on the bottom of the base.
Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload , do not use any high wattage appliance on the same circuit as this appliance.

Making the Most Out of Your Kettle

Notes on Filling Your Kettle
Under-filling may result in Kettle switching off before reaching a boil and/or overheating from boiling dry. Boiling dry can cause rust to form, or damage the inside of the kettle. Over-filling may result in boiling water splashing out of pour spout and could cause scalding or serious injury. Water can also leak from the top and collect in the base of the Kettle. When the base gets wet, The kettle will stop working prematurely.
Changing the Temperature Unit
To change the temperature unit while in use, press the OXO button for 3 seconds, twist the dial to choose between F and C, and press the OXO button again to confirm. The display will show the temperature of the water as it is being heated.
Safety
The Kettle uses 1500W to heat water. To avoid tripping a breaker, plug the Kettle into its own wall outlet, to ensure sufficient capacity.
Note : This appliance is designed for boiling or heating drinking quality water only. Never use it to heat or boil any other liquids or food. Never put tea or coffee inside the kettle. The Kettle is fitted with a safety device that protects against overheating should the appliance be operated with insufficient water. If this occurs, the Kettle will stop heating. Allow Kettle to cool for approximately 20 minutes before refilling. The safety device will automatically reset when the Kettle has sufficiently cooled.
WARNING: Do not fill the Kettle beyond the “MAX” line. This may result in hot water splashing out of the spout. When ready, lift Kettle from the base and pour slowly to
prevent water from coming out of the lid. The handle and bottom of the Kettle are designed to stay cool after boiling to protect your hands, and the insulated bottom allows you to place the Kettle on any surface when you’re done pouring.
WARNING : Do not open the lid during and after the operation. The lid should always be closed securely during use. This may result in hot or boiling water splashing from the Kettle. Pour all hot water from the Kettle before opening the lid to refill.
CAUTION : The Kettle appliance is very hot during use. Do not touch the Kettle surface. Beware of burns! Use the handle for lifting, carrying, and pouring. If you need extra support, use an oven mitt.
Descaling
The ideal descaling cycle depends on water hardness. Descale the Kettle every 60 uses.  Regular descaling can also increase the service life of the kettle, allowing it to boil water faster with less energy.

1 Fill the Kettle with 7 ounces of solution and 53 ounces of water.
Note: This will fill the Kettle nearly to
the max line, 60oz.| 2 Bring Solution to Boil| 3 Ensure Kettle is off Unplug from the outlet. Let the mixture sit for 15 – 30 minutes.| 4 Rinse 2-3 times with fresh water.
---|---|---|---

Notes on Descaling

Scale is a naturally occurring buildup of mineral deposits caused by impurities in water or the use of hard water. How often you should descale your Kettle depends on water hardness. We recommend the OXO descaling solution. Buy descaling solution where household cleaning products are sold and follow the solution’s recommended use.
Storage
Unplug the power cord from the outlet and allow Kettle to cool completely before storing. Follow cleaning instructions and store in an upright position. The cord wrap under the  Kettle base can be used for tidy cord storage. Do not store anything on top of your Kettle. The Kettle may be stored on base when not in use.

Cleaning & Care
Always unplug your Kettle before cleaning it. Any service or maintenance other than cleaning or descaling should be performed by an authorized service representative. For more information, call OXO Customer Service at 800-545-4411, or email [email protected].

Never immerse the Kettle base, power base, power cord, or plug in water, or allow liquid to come in contact with these parts.
Do not clean any part of this appliance in the dishwasher.
To prevent damage to the appliance when cleaning, do not use alkaline cleaning agents, abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, or spray cleaner chemicals when cleaning.

Cleaning the Kettle
Remove Kettle from the base and rinse out. Wipe the body of the Kettle with a damp cloth and dry completely with a soft, dry cloth.
Remove Filter
Carefully remove perforated stainless steel filter by holding lip of filter and pulling straight up. Clean with soft bristle brush and rinse with warm water. Dry and Replace Cleaning the Base
If necessary, wipe the base with a soft, dry cloth. Do not wet, rinse or immerse base in water.
Descaling
