indicated on the appliance (underside the kettle base) corresponds with
the voltage in your home. If this is not the case, contact your dealer and
do not use the kettle.
3. The attached base cannot be used for other than the intended use.
4. Do not operate the appliance without water to avoid damaging the heat
elements.
5. Unplug from the outlet when not in use.
6. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot
surfaces.
7. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
8. If you accidentally allow the kettle to operate without water, the boil-dry
protection will automatically switch it off. If this should occur, allow the kettle
to cool before filling with cold water and re-boiling.
9. Make sure that the kettle is used on a firm, flat surface where children can't
touch it. This can prevent overturning the kettle, resulting in damage to the
kettle or injury to the person.

the electrical cord, electric plugs, or the kettle in water or other liquids.
11. Always take care to pour boiling water slowly and carefully without tipping
the kettle too fast.

boiling, or just after it has switched off. Do not be anxious to uncover the lid.

cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.

SETTING UP YOUR KETTLE
USING YOUR KETTLE
1. Remove your kettle and all materials from the carton.
2. Examine your kettle for any damage, such as dents or broken glass. Don’t
install or use your kettle if you find any damage.
3. Place your kettle on a level surface that provides enough open space for the
air vents.
4. Plug your kettle into a standard, grounded household outlet. Make sure that
the voltage and the frequency is the same as the voltage and the frequency
on the rating label.
5. Before you use your kettle, we recommend that you clean your kettle by
boiling a full kettle of water twice, then discarding the water.
Filling your kettle
1. Remove the kettle from the heating base, then remove the lid.
2. Add water to the kettle.
Notes:
Always fill the kettle between the minimum .5 qt. (0.5 l) and maximum
1.8 qt. (1.7 l) marks. Too little water results in the kettle turning off before
the water has boiled. Too much water results in boiling water overflowing.
Make sure that the lid is firmly in place before connecting the power cord
to the outlet.
If using the tea infuser, make sure that the water does not exceed the
“1.2 L Tea Max line”.
3. Close the lid, then position the kettle on the heating base. Make sure that
the kettle contacts the heating base completely.

scald or burn.
Always exercise caution when pouring water from your kettle. Contact

personal preference).

come in contact with these parts.
Do not use chemicals, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside
of your kettle. These substances can scratch the surface or fade the color.
Removing mineral deposits
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the kettle interior to discolor or
“scale.”To remove this build-up, use non-toxic liquid de-scaler or tea scale
cleaning tablets.

and let it stand overnight. Do not boil.

cloth.
