SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The particular length of the power cord of this appliance is meant to reduce the risk of becoming tangled in it and/or tripping on it. Should the length of this cord be insufficient, use an approved extension cord? The marked electrical rating of the extension cord shall be equal to (or greater than) that of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounding type, the extension cord should be a grounding type, 3-wire cord.

Lay the extension cord down so that it will not hang down from tabletop or countertops where it can be pulled on by children or create risk of tripping over it. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, 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 plug in any way.

Intended Use

• This product is intended for boiling water.

Before First Use

When using for the first time or after a lengthy period of disuse, we recommended filling the product up to the Max mark (1.0 L), bringing to boil, then discard the water and repeat. This will remove potential extraneous and unwanted residues.

Operation

• Press the lid release button to open the lid.
• Fill the product with water (between the 0.5 L and the 1.0 L marks).
• Close the lid. Place the product on the base.
• Connect the plug to a power outlet. Press the On/Off switch down.
• The light goes on; the product is now heating the water.
• The product will switch off automatically when the water starts boiling. The light will then go out.
• The product features a safety switch that shuts it down if it boils dry. If this should occur, remove it from the base and wait until it cools down before using it again.

NOTE
 The kettle should ONLY be used with the base provided.

Burn Hazard! Do not overfill the kettle

• Water might enter the steam tube and leak from the bottom of the product
• Boiling water might spill out of the spout.

• Always unplug from the plug socket and allow cooling down before cleaning.

Warning

Frequently Asked Questions

Is water window is made of plastic?

I want a new version could have an INNER glass water window that touches the water rather than an OUTSIDE plastic water window.

What is a voltage/power specification?****

120V/60Hz/1500W

Is there a keep-warm function?****

No, there is no warm function. The power switch automatically turns off when it boils.

Regular users How durable is the plastic window?****

It works perfectly hot water quickly, Not an issue.

Will the switch remain be in the ON position if the power is turned off?****

Off is off, however as a precaution, it should be unplugged while not in use to prevent a mistaken switch-on.

Should this be left plugged in or unplugged after each use?****

When the water reaches a boil, it turns off. It is not necessary to unplug it. However, you might feel more comfortable disconnecting it when you’re at home or when it’s not in use, as with many appliances with heating elements.

Is it usable in America?****

A 220 Volt version might function, like most electrical products, but it will operate much more slowly. The opposite approach does not work. What makes you want that, though? My advice is to get a 110 V model for the US and a 220 V model for Europe.

Does anyone know the length of the cable for this kettle?****

Calculated for you. 32″ measure from plug to base.

Is it usable in America?****

A 220 Volt version might function, like most electrical products, but it will operate much more slowly. The opposite approach does not work. What makes you want that, though? My advice is to get a 110 V model for the US and a 220 V model for Europe.

Is it okay for the extra cord to remain wrapped in the base while in use?****

The cord is not wrapped in the base, as I just verified with ours. The chord is quite short; therefore it is not a problem for us. If it’s crucial, I would confirm with the manufacturer.

After boiling water, is the side hot to the touch? Will it burn?****

Every kettle I’ve purchased in the past 60 years has heated up when water is boiled in it. To prevent any issues, there is a lovely plastic handle.

How many prongs plug there three or two?****

Two facets, It’s a terrific small kettle, by the way.

Is it possible to take the cover off?****

The kettle’s movable lid is an indelible component.

Does shipping truly take three to five months?****

I don’t think it takes that look for shipment if the item is in stock.

Is this a UL or eTL product?****

This item is UL-listed.
