Congratulations on your purchase of the Aroma® Professional™ Electric Kettle. This handy
appliance provides more speed and convenience than traditional stovetop kettles, not to
mention the increased safety features! The compact, cordless body is nished in stainless steel
and made to blend seamlessly and stylishly into your kitchen.
This product was designed with your safety in mind. Features such as cordless pouring and
the 360° swivel base, which allows left or right-handed gripping, are designed to remove many
of the dangers and inconveniences associated with other kettles. Additional safety features
include the stay-cool handles and base, drip-free pouring spout and automatic-shut o with
boil dry protection. Gone are the days when forgotten kettles caused steam damage to
cabinets or posed risks by boiling dry. The Aroma® Electric Kettle turns o automatically once
the water has boiled and will not operate when empty.
