IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
4.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
3. If a longer extension cord is used:
a.) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b.) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped
over unintentionally.
DO NOT DRAPE CORD!
KEEP AWAY
FROM CHILDREN!
Short Cord Instructions
Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other);
follow the instructions below:
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.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

The kettle will not turn on.
· Make sure that the kettle is seated properly on the
power base and that the base is connected to a
functioning electrical outlet.
· Water or debris on the bottom of the kettle or on
the power base may interfere with the functioning
of the kettle. Be sure that the base of the kettle and
the power base are dry and free of debris.
There are mineral deposits on the

· A certain amount of scale build-up is normal after
long periods of use and is caused by minerals
contained in hard water. The best way to prevent
mineral deposits is to always use distilled water in
the kettle.
· To remove deposits, try filling the kettle halfway
with water and adding a few slices of lemon, then
boil. If this does not work, please see M
