Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either a polarized

shock.
The plug fits only one way into a polarized or grounded outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an
adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

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
the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounding type, the extension cord
must also be a groundingtype, 3-wire cord.
Care must betaken 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
accidentally tripped over.
Parts and Features
How to Use the Kettle
WARNING Burn Hazard.Do not overfill kettle. Boiling water may spit out of the spout.

tab to remove.
Rinse filter periodically.
WARNING Burn Hazard: Allow kettle to cool before attempting to remove
mesh filter.
To replace, slide the filter back into the slot, ensuring the tab is facing
inwards. The filter will fit only one way.
Care and Cleaning
To avoid scale/lime deposit buildup, empty kettle after each use.
Wipe the exterior of kettle with adamp cloth. Do not use abrasive scouring
pads or powders since they may scratch the smooth surface of the kettle.”
To remove discoloration or scale/lime deposit from heating element: Place 1/2
teaspoon cream of tartar (available in the spice aisle of grocery store) into
the kettle. Then fill the kettle 1/2 full with water. Plug in, turn ON (I),
and bring to boil. Turn OFF ( ), let cool, and rinse several times with clean
tap water.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not immerse kettle, power base, or plug in water or other liquid.
If Kettle Floor Discolors: It is normal for stainless steel heating elements
to discolor. This does not affect the performance of the kettle. Do not use
abrasive scouring pads or cleaners since this may damage the stainless steel
surface.
If Kettle Boils Dry: The heating element is protected by two automatic safety
devices. If your kettle is accidentally switched on without being filled with
water, or is allowed to boil dry, the kettle will automatically switch off.
You should:
-
Turn the switch to OFF ( ), unplug, and wait about 20 minutes for the element to cool down.
-
Refill the kettle; then use as normal and check that the kettle functions correctly.
If Kettle Does Not Work: Make these simple checks before calling the toll-free customer assistance number: -
Have you turned power switch to ON (l) position?
-
If the kettle heats but does not boil, it might need descaling.
-
Has the kettle been accidentally switched on without being filled with water or allowed to boil dry? Turn the switch to OFF ( O ), wait 20 minutes, and try again.
-
Is cord firmly plugged into the outlet and kettle firmly seated in the base?
Anti-Scale Mesh Filter: Scale is caused by lime and calcium in hard water. The mesh filter will prevent these suspended particles from being poured out of the kettle. The filter should be cleaned periodically to ensure optimum performance. To clean the filter, unplug kettle and allow to cool. The mesh filter may be removed by pressing on filter tab, which is visible through the kettle opening. Rinse filter under running water and brush with a soft brush. An old, clean toothbrush works well.
