• Closely supervise children near the
kettle. Do not allow children to use or
play with this kettle.
• Unplug the kettle when it is not being
used and before cleaning.
• Allow to cool before putting on or taking
o parts, and before cleaning.
• Do not use the kettle if it is
malfunctioning, or if any part, including
the base, cord, or plug, is damaged in
any way. Do not try to repair the kettle.
Contact Customer Support (see page
12).
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Using accessory attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer may
result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Place the kettle on a dry, flat, stable
surface.
• Do not place the kettle (including the
base) on or near heat sources such as
stovetops, ovens, radiators, etc.
• To avoid scalding, always make sure
the lid is securely closed while the kettle
is operating. Do not cover the spout
opening while the kettle is in use. Do
not cover the openings on the lid.
• To disconnect, use the On/O Switch
to turn the kettle o, then remove the
plug from the wall outlet.
• Only use the kettle as directed in this
manual.
• Household use only.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
handle. Do not touch the heated
parts of the base or the metal walls
of the kettle during or immediately
after operation.
• Do not fill the kettle above the
“MAX” line. This may cause
water to boil over and may cause
scalding.
• To avoid scalding, always handle
with care when there is hot water
inside the kettle.

General Safety

5
• Do not let the cord (or any extension
cord) hang over the edge of a table or
counter. Do not allow the cord to touch
hot surfaces.
• This kettle has a 3-prong grounding
plug. Always plug in to a grounded
electrical outlet. Do not modify the plug
in any way.
• This kettle uses a short power-supply
cord to reduce the risk of entangling or
tripping. Use extension cords with care.
PLUG AND CORD
• Any extension cord must also be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The marked electrical rating of an
extension cord should be at least as high
as the rating of the kettle (see page 3).
Note: If the electrical circuit is overloaded with
other appliances, your kettle may not
operate properly. Operate it on a separate
electrical circuit.

• If you start the kettle without water in it,
the kettle will turn o and controls will be

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Descaling
1. Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool
before cleaning.
2. Wipe the kettle and base with a soft,
damp cloth. Make sure that the electric
socket on the underside of the kettle is
kept dry.
3. Dry all parts after every use.
You should descale the kettle at least once
a week if you use it frequently. Descaling
removes any mineral deposits that have
built up inside the kettle. Always descale
the kettle before and after storing for long
periods of time.
1. Fill the kettle with 1 cup / 237 mL of
distilled vinegar or lemon juice and 2
cups / 473 mL of water (1:2 ratio).
2. Boil the mixture, then let it soak in the
kettle for 2 hours.
3. Pour out the mixture, then wipe o
any remaining limescale with a non-
abrasive cloth, sponge, or cleaning
brush.
4. Rinse the kettle with clean water, and
dry with a soft cloth.
5. Repeat as needed.
Note:
Never immerse kettle or power base in water.
