Getting to Know Your Electric Kettle

Product may vary slightly from illustration

Before Using for the First Time

1. Boil a kettle of water following the Operating Instructions described in this Instruction Manual.
2. Discard the boiled water. Your kettle is now ready for use.

Operating Instructions

CAUTION: Do not immerse power base, power cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.

1. Position the power base on a stable, level surface near an electrical outlet. Unwind the power cord from the cord storage area located beneath the power base. Make sure the cord exits through the cord exit slot on the side of the power base.

2. Check that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF (up) position.

3. Remove the kettle from the power base. Pull back and lift up on the handle to open the lid. Fill with fresh, cold water to the desired level. Use the water level indicator under the handle. Add water but do not fill above the MAX water level. Wipe excess water off the kettle.
   CAUTION: Never add water above the MAX water level. This could cause boiling water to splatter out. NOTE: If the kettle is accidentally switched ON without sufficient water, a boil-dry protection device will automatically turn the unit OFF. (See Boil-Dry Protection explanation in this Instruction Manual.)

4. Close the lid and press down gently until it clicks into position to ensure it is fully closed. Otherwise the kettle may not turn OFF after boiling. CAUTION: To avoid the risk of splashing while pouring hot water, make sure the lid is securely closed onto the kettle before operation.

5. Place the kettle on the power base, taking care not to spill any water.

6. Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet. Press the ON/OFF switch down to the ON position. The lighted button will illuminate. Water will begin heating immediately.

7. When a rolling boil is reached, the lighted button will then turn off; the ON/OFF switch will lift (up) automatically and the kettle will turn OFF.
   NOTE: The kettle can be turned OFF any time during the heating process by lifting the ON/OFF switch up.
   WARNING: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires, or other injury to persons or damage to property. Keep hands and face clear of the area above the kettle.

8. Grasp the handle and carefully lift the kettle from the power base before pouring.
   CAUTION:

   • Always check that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF (up) position before removing it from the power base.
   • To avoid a risk of splashing, make sure the lid is securely closed onto the kettle before operating. Pour slowly and be careful not over-tilt the kettle.
   • Do not touch hot surfaces!

9. To reheat, check the water level to ensure it is above the MIN water level. If necessary, add more water before returning the kettle to the power base.

10. Allow at least 30 seconds before pressing the ON/OFF switch down to the ON position.

11. When not in use unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning. Empty the kettle after each use. Do not allow water to sit in the kettle overnight. See User Maintenance Instructions.

Boil Dry Protection
A safety thermostat will automatically turn the kettle OFF whenever the unit is without sufficient water, or if the kettle is allowed to boil dry. To reset the boil-dry protection device, remove the kettle from the power base and allow it to cool before refilling with water.

User Maintenance Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

Care & Cleaning Instructions

CAUTION: Always unplug kettle and allow to cool before cleaning. Never immerse kettle, power base, cord, or plug in water or other liquids. Never use scouring pads or harsh cleansers to clean your kettle as they may damage the surface.

1. Make sure the kettle is unplugged and completely cool.
2. Grasp the handle and remove the kettle from the power base. If necessary, wipe the inside and outside of the kettle with a soft, damp cloth and wipe dry.
3. Wipe the power base with a damp cloth.
4. Make sure both the power base and kettle are completely dry after cleaning and before use.

Cleaning the filter
The filter is located just behind the spout.
Before removing or assembling the filter, switch the Kettle off and empty it. Allow it to cool completely then unplug the power base from the outlet.

Filter removal and reassembly

1. Ensure the kettle is cold. Open the lid and lift the filter out using the flap at the top of the filter. You will hear an audible click when you lift the filter upwards.
2. Remove the filter out of the kettle.
3. Rinse the filter in warm water and gently remove any scale with a soft brush.
4. To reassemble, place the filter back into the filter holder ensuring the filter is facing the correct way. The flap on the filter should face towards the lid of the kettle. Push the filter into position until you hear an audible click.

Descaling

NOTE: Mineral deposits can form a scale coating inside the kettle and may cause an off flavor in the water or lengthen the boiling time.

1. Several descalers are available. Follow the instructions provided.

2. As an alternative, use the white vinegar cleaning method:
   In a spouted bowl, prepare a descaling solution of 3 cups white vinegar and 2 cups cool, clean water; pour into kettle. Do not boil the solution, as it may damage the kettle.
   Allow the solution to soak in the kettle overnight.
   Discard the cleaning solution. Fill the kettle with cool, clean water; boil, discard, and rinse thoroughly.
   Repeat this procedure several times until the vinegar odor is gone.

3. Use a damp cloth to remove any stains remaining inside the kettle.

Storing Instructions

1. Make sure unit is unplugged and completely cool before storing. WARNING: Never store the electric kettle while it is hot or still plugged in.
2. Wrap the power cord around the cord storage area under the power base to store. Store kettle with lid closed.
