SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
-
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in 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 cord or extension cord is used,
a. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord must be as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
b. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
c. The longer 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. -
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
IMPORTANT
Open the lid (A) at a 90º angle, when pouring all of the water at once into
another container. This way hot steam will be diverted away from the
hand holding the handle (D).
IMPORTANT: Handle kettle carefully…it is glass!

CLEANING
- Always unplug the cord of the power base before cleaning.
- Make sure the kettle is cold.
- Clean the exterior surface with a clean, damp, soft cloth.
- Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring agents.
- Rinse out the kettle and wipe dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Attention:
- Over time the stainless steel cover of the heating element inside the bottom of the kettle may change color slightly. This is caused by the intense heat of the heating element.
- If your water has a high iron content brownish stains may appear on the stainless steel element (this is also known as “boiler scale–). These stains can be wiped away with a cloth and a mild abrasive. Rinse the kettle thoroughly with fresh water.
DECALCIFICATION
Hard water can leave calcium spots inside the kettle that can slow down boiling time. Use a commercial descaling agent, like Capresso Cleaning Solution, and follow the instructions that come with the agent.
NOTE: Make sure the kettle is cold.
Use of Capresso Cleaning Solution
Dissolve 1 oz (28 g) of Capresso Cleaning Solution with 32 oz (1 L) of water and pour the mixture into the kettle. Allow mixture to sit inside the kettle for 20-30 minutes. Pour water and Cleaning Solution out and rinse the kettle 2-3 times with fresh, clean water. DO NOT heat the kettle while descaling with Capresso Cleaning Solution.
Use of Vinegar
You can also use white vinegar to descale the inside. Fill the kettle with 2 cups of water (16 oz) and add 6 tablespoons of white vinegar. Bring to a boil Discard the solution and repeat if necessary. Rinse the kettle once or twice with fresh cold water.
