the appliance (underside of kettle and base unit) corresponds with the
main voltage in your home. If this is not the case, contact your dealer
and do not use the kettle.
4. Switch o and unplug from the outlet before filling, emptying, cleaning,
or when not in use.

flammable fumes. Do not operate or place any part of this appliance
on or near gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

let the cord touch hot surfaces.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CORD SAFETY
Wattage: 570-820W / 680-820W
• A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is
provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
• Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply
cord or extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical
rating of the appliance;
b. The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-prong cord;
and
c. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over.
ELECTRICAL 3-PRONG PLUG
Appliance is equipped with a
3-prong grounding-type plug. It
should be properly connected
to a grounding-type outlet. The
plug is designed to fit ONLY a
3-grounding outlet unit, and as such,
the grounding prong should never
be removed. If needed, a 2-prong
adapter may be used if local codes
allow it.
Voltage: 100-120V / 220-240V
