INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION
• Do not immerse base or Kettle in water.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
remove the bottom cover of base. No user serviceable
parts inside. Return the Kettle to the retail location
where it was purchased for examination, repair or
adjustment.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
The Kettle has a short cord to reduce the hazards of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An
extension cord may be used if the rating is equal to or
greater than the rating of the Kettle. Use an extension cord
rated 13 amperes or greater. Care must be taken to arrange
extension cord so that it will not drape over countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over unintentionally.
Operating the Kettle and another appliance at the same
time from the same electrical circuit could cause an
electrical overload condition, which would blow the fuse
or trip the circuit breaker.
SPECIAL POLARIZED PLUG
INSTRUCTIONS
The Philips Kettle has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other).To reduce the risk of electric shock:
• Plug will fit into polarized outlet only one way.
• If plug does not properly fit outlet at first, reverse it.
• If plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
