GROUNDED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electric shock this appliance has a grounded plug
(2 blades and 1 pin). If the plug does not fit fully into the electrical outlet
contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way or use an
adaptor.
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Read all instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.
2. Remove all packaging.
3. Water boiled for the first time should be discarded.
4. IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT USE THE KETTLE WITHOUT THE FILTER
IN POSITION
– this may allow water to spit out of the spout when boiling
– allow the kettle to remain in the boil cycle too long once the water
has boiled
– the kettle may not shut off.
HOW TO USE
1. Open Lid by holding the handle with one hand and lifting up the Lid with
the other. Fill the Kettle through the Lid opening, with a minimum of
0.5 litres of water. (MIN level)
NOTE:
DO NOT attempt to fill while the Kettle is on the Power Base.

the interior of the Kettle.

2. Place Kettle on Base making sure it is correctly engaged on its Base.
3. Plug Power Base cord into a 120V AC wall outlet.
NOTE: Never plug Power Base with empty Kettle into the electrical
outlet.
4. Depress the On/Off Switch to the ‘On’ position. The Indicator Light will
illuminate to indicate that the Kettle is in the boil cycle. Once the water
has boiled, the On/Off Switch will automatically switch to the ‘Off’
position and the Indicator Light will go out. NOTE: Direct kettle spout
away from cabinets, walls, etc. to prevent possible steam damage.
5. If you want to use the Kettle again, allow the thermal safety switch to
cool down for 15 – 20 seconds then depress the On/Off Switch to the
‘On’ position. If the On/Off Switch does not remain in the ‘On’ position,
the Water is hot enough to use without reheating.
6. Unplug cord from wall outlet before lifting Kettle from Power Base.
Grip the Kettle by the Handle only, as the surface and lid will be hot.
7. Return the Kettle to the Power Base or place on a heat resistant surface
after use.
8. If the Kettle is accidently switched on when empty, the thermostat will
automatically shut it off to prevent the Kettle from overheating. If this
situation occurs, unplug the Power Base and let the Kettle cool before
refilling.
9. It is recommended that the power cord be disconnected from the wall
outlet when not in use. DO NOT attempt to connect any other appliance
to the Power Base or tamper with the connector in any way.
CARE AND CLEANING
1. Unplug power cord from wall outlet. Empty out remaining water and
allow Kettle to cool before cleaning.
2. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outside of the kettle.

3. Under normal use, a deposit of scale may form on the inside of the Kettle
and cause some discolouration. Scale, which has accumulated inside the
Kettle, can be removed by boiling equal parts of white vinegar and water
(500 ml / 2 cups of each is recommended). Once the water has boiled,
allow mixture to stand several hours or overnight. Empty out mixture and
fill Kettle to the MAX level with fresh water. Bring water to a boil and
discard. For heavy scale build-up, repeat this process.
NOTE: This build-up can be delayed by pouring out old water and refilling
before each use.
4. All servicing, other than cleaning, should be performed by an authorized
service representative. See Warranty section.
GLASS BREAKAGE
The highest quality tempered glass is used in the manufacture of this Kettle.
This material is quite durable. However, glass is still breakable under certain
conditions. To ensure long lasting use, prevent the glass from contacting hard
objects such as faucets, cabinets and metal utensils.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used
if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If
the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounded 3-wire cord. The extension 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.
This warranty does not include the cost of shipping, which is to be borne by the
customer.
