SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against fire, electrical shock, and injury, do not immerse the cord, plugs, charging base, or unit in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow cooling before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Chefman ® Customer Support.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Chefman ® may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Plug the cord into the wall outlet only when the switch is in the off position. To disconnect, turn the switch off, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
12. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
13. Scalding may occur if the lid is opened during the heating cycle.
14. Ensure the lid is securely closed before serving any beverages.
15. Do not set a hot container on a wet or cold surface.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plugin any way or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury or electric shock.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power supply an extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

POWER A SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the outlet.
3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, please contact Chefman® Customer Support for assistance.
5.  Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

California Proposition 65: (Applicable for California Residents only)
WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm – www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Do not place the appliance on a stovetop or any other heatable surface, even if the stovetop is not on. Doing so is a fire hazard.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packing materials and stickers from the inside and outside of the kettle. Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel.
2. To rinse the pot of any packing debris, boil and discard a pot of water (see How to Use, below).
3. Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord, or the plug in water or any other liquids. The electrical connections and the On/Off switch must never come into contact with water or any other liquids.
4. Read all instructions and follow them carefully.

HOW TO USE
The Easy-Fill Kettle is perfect for all your hot-water needs. With a hands- free lid for filling and a simple one-touch operation, water comes to a boil in just minutes.

1. Wedge the power cord into the notch on the 360° swivel base so that the base sits flat. Place the base on a flat, sturdy surface away from water splashes and any sources of heat. Plug the cord into an outlet.
2. Remove the kettle from the base if attached. Ensure that the lid is completely seated on the kettle. Stream water from a faucet (or pour with a pitcher) directly onto the lid valve (the clear plastic window in the lid). The valve will open and allow water to flow into the kettle. A forceful flow of water aimed at the front of the window will fill the kettle quickest.
3. Fill with the desired amount of water, between the MIN fill line (0.5 L) and the MAX fill line (1.7 L). The valve will automatically close when you are finished filling the kettle. NOTE: Do not use the kettle to heat liquids other than water.
4. Place the kettle on the base. Ensure that both the kettle and the base are steady on the surface. NOTE: If the kettle is not fully seated on the base, it will not turn on.
5. Press the On/Off switch to turn the kettle on. Blue LED lights will illuminate around the base of the kettle. Small bubbles will begin to form as the water heats, then larger ones as it comes to a boil. Once the water boils, the kettle and the LED lights will automatically turn off. CAUTION: The kettle and water inside will be very hot. Handle with care. If you open the lid when there is hot water inside, do so carefully as hot steam may escape.
6. Lift the kettle off the base and carefully pour the hot water into your desired cup or bowl.
7. Return the kettle to the base. To reheat water, simply press the On/Off switch.

NOTE : When the kettle is brand new, the first pot of water boiled may have an unusual taste, which is why we recommend discarding it and boiling a fresh pot. If this problem continues, fill the kettle with water and 2 teaspoons of baking soda. Bring the water to a boil, let cool, then discard. Rinse with lukewarm water.
BOIL-DRY PROTECTION: If the kettle starts to heat without enough water in it, it will automatically turn off to avoid potential damage.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
The Cordless Electric Kettle is easy to clean. Simply follow the directions below.

1. Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely.

2. Gently wipe down the exterior of the kettle with a damp cloth or paper towel.

3. Empty any boiled water and rinse the inside with fresh water.
   WARNING: Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord, or the plugin water or any other liquids.
   IMPORTANT: The electrical connections and the On/Off switch must never come into contact with water or any other liquids.

4. Dry completely.

HOW TO REMOVE MINERAL DEPOSITS
Over time, mineral deposits may accumulate on the inside of the kettle and cause discoloration or affect the taste of the boiled water. To remove the deposits, descaling is recommended at least once a month, or more regularly if your water is very hard. Use a commercial descaling solution or use this white vinegar method:
Fill the kettle one-quarter full with water. Add enough white vinegar to fill about halfway. Turn the kettle on and bring it to a boil. After the water comes to a boil and the kettle shuts off, let stand for 1 hour. Empty the kettle and rinse with water 5 to 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
