be followed. Refer to the following for these instructions
1. READ ALL SAFETY & USAGE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. Do not use appliance on wet or hot surfaces, or near a heat source.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse any part of appliance, power
cord or plug in water or other liquid. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning.
4. To disconnect, unplug power cord from electrical outlet. Do not disconnect by
pulling on cord.
5. Do not operate appliance with a damaged power cord or plug. Do not operate

Consumer Services.
6. Use appliance only for its intended use.
7. Closely supervise children when using any electrical appliance. Do not allow
appliance to be used as a toy.
8. The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to t in a polarized outlet
only one way. If plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse plug. If it still does
not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not modify plug in any way.
9. Caution: A short power cord is provided to reduce risks from entanglement or
tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used when marked
electrical rating is no less than electrical rating of this appliance. All cords
should not drape over counter or tabletop where cords can be tripped over or
pulled on unintentionally, especially by children.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or heated oven. Extreme
caution must be used when moving products containing hot liquids.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEAN THE KETTLE
• Unplug the kettle base.
• Let the kettle cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
• Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water. The
electrical connections or the switch should never come into contact with water.
• Do not use scouring pads.
CLEAN THE FILTER
The removable lter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and
prevent them falling into your cup when pouring. This lter neither treats nor
removes the hardness of the water so it conserves all the qualities of the water.
With very hard water, the lter can clog very quickly, after 10 to 15 uses so it is
important to clean the lter regularly.
• If the lter is wet, put it under running water.
• If the lter is dry, brush it gently.
To remove the anti-scale lter, lift the kettle o its base and allow it to cool. Never
remove the lter when the appliance is full of hot water.
DESCALING
To keep the kettle working well, you should descale regularly, preferably at least
once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard.
There are three dierent ways you can descale your kettle:
Using white vinegar:
1. Fill the kettle with 2 cups of vinegar.
2. Let the vinegar soak in the kettle for 1 hour. Do not turn on the kettle during
this time.
3. Pour out the liquid and rinse 5 or 6 times.
Using citric acid:
1. Boil 2 cups of water in the kettle.
2. Add 5 teaspoons of citric acid and let it soak for 15 minutes.
3. Pour out the liquid and rinse 5 or 6 times.
Using a descaler:
1. Use a descaler specically for plastic kettles and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
