IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons do not
immerse cord, plugs, or base in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination,
repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
Do not use outdoors
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated
oven.
Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet.
To disconnect, turn any control to “off ” then remove plug from wall
outlet.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycle.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
GROUNDED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning : This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided
to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) 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,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be
a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

How to Use
This unit is for household use only.
GETTING STARTED
1. Remove all packing material and any stickers from the product.
2. Before first use, wash the interior of the kettle with hot soapy water.
3. Rinse well until water comes out clear.
Important: NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS or
place in a dishwasher.
4. Wash the removable scale filter with warm soapy water and rinse well.
5. Place the kettle on a level surface, allow enough space for the steam to escape
without damaging the counters, cabinets or walls.
6. Fill the kettle with 2 cups of cold tap water and 1 cup of vinegar. Bring to boil
and discard.
7. Fill the kettle with at least 6 cups of cold tap water. Bring to boil and discard.
Repeat. Kettle is now ready for use.
Note: The kettle only operates when the ON switch is in the ON position. The
kettle will automatically shut off once the water has boiled and when there is no
more water in the kettle.
Warning: This product is protected by a boil dry safety device. If the kettle is
accidentally left plugged in without being filled or is allowed to boil to a very
low level, it will automatically repeat a cycle of turning off, cooling down, and
coming back on unless unplugged.
Tip: For best results, before using the kettle again unplug it and wait 5 to 10
minutes for the heating elements to cool down. Then refill the kettle with cold
tap water and plug it back in for normal use.
BOILING WATER
1. Fill with desired amount of cold tap water (from 3 to 7
1
2 cups) through the pour
spout.
Important: Do not overfill the kettle. The kettle should have at least 3 cups of
cold tap water in it before using it. Make sure the water level is below the bottom
of the pour spout. This prevents the boiling water from spilling onto the counter.
Note: Do not operate the kettle without water.
2. Plug the kettle into a standard electrical outlet. The ON switch with indicator
light comes on.
3. Press the ON switch to the ON position. The water begins to heat up.
4. When the water boils, the kettle and the indicator light will automatically shut
off.
Warning: This product is protected by a boil dry safety device. If the kettle is
accidentally left plugged in without being filled or is allowed to boil to a very
low level, it will automatically repeat a cycle of turning off, cooling down, and
coming back on unless unplugged.
Important: Do not try to hold the switch in the ON position once the water has
boiled.
5. Unplug the kettle when not in use.
6. Pick up the kettle by the cool-touch handle.
Warning: The kettle when filled with boiling water is hot on the outside.
Use only the cool-touch handle to pick it up.

Before cleaning, be sure the kettle is unplugged and has cooled completely. Empty
any remaining water from the kettle.
Wash the inside of the kettle with hot soapy water.
Rinse well until water comes out clear.
Important: NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS or place
in a dishwasher.
Wash the removable scale filter with warm soapy water and rinse well.
Wipe the exterior of the kettle and base with a damp cloth or sponge and dry.
The concealed heating element at the bottom of the interior may discolor. This will
not affect performance. Do not use abrasive soaps, cleansers, or scouring pads.
Over time, the kettle may heat up but will not boil, depending on your use and
the hardness of the water in your area. When this happens, it is time for descaling.
Use a scale/lime remover and follow its manufacturer's directions.
BUILT-IN SCALE PROTECTION
Lime scale forms over time when water is heated. Though harmless it may be
bothersome. The concealed heating element in the kettle is designed to help reduce
scale buildup.
The kettle has a scale filter at the bottom of the pour spout to prevent particles from
pouring into your beverage.

Avertissement : Cet appareil est doté d'une fonction de protection contre le
fonctionnement à vide. Si la bouilloire est branchée accidentellement lorsqu'elle
est vide ou que l'évaporation de l'eau a fait descendre le niveau d'eau très bas,
l'appareil recommencera automatiquement un cycle arrêt-refroidissement-
marche jusqu'à ce qu'il soit débranché.
Important : Ne pas essayer de maintenir l'interrupteur en position marche (ON)
une fois que l'eau bout.
5. Laisser la bouilloire débranchée lorsqu'elle ne sert pas.
6. Saisir la bouilloire à l'aide de la poignée froide au toucher.
Avertissement : Lorsqu'elle est remplie d'eau bouillante, la bouilloire est chaude
à l'extérieur. Utiliser seulement la poignée froide au toucher pour saisir la
bouilloire.
Remarque : Pour transporter la bouilloire jusqu'à la table, procéder avec soin
pour éviter de renverser de l'eau. Placer l'appareil sur un dessous-de-plat pour
protéger la surface de la table ou la nappe.
7. Tenir la bouilloire de niveau lorsque vous commencez à verser l'eau, surtout
lorsqu'elle est remplie au maximum. Ne pas verser trop rapidement.
8. Pour faire bouillir l'eau de nouveau, il est nécessaire d'attendre plusieurs
minutes pour que la bouilloire refroidisse.
9. Jeter l'eau inutilisée.
10. Suivre les étapes 1 à 7.
Important : Laisser la bouilloire refroidir avant de la réutiliser
Entretien et nettoyage
L'utilisateur ne peut effectuer lui-même l'entretien d'aucune pièce de cet appareil.
Confier l'entretien à un technicien qualifié.
Avant de nettoyer la bouilloire, s'assurer qu'elle est débranchée et complètement
refroidie. Vider l'eau qui reste dans la bouilloire.
Laver l'intérieur de la bouilloire à l'eau chaude savonneuse.
Bien rincer jusqu'à ce que l'eau de rinçage soit claire.
Important : NE JAMAIS IMMERGER LA BOUILLOIRE DANS L'EAU OU D'AUTRES
LIQUIDES et ne pas la mettre au lave-vaisselle.
Laver le filtre anti-tartre amovible à l'eau tiède savonneuse et le rincer à fond.
Essuyer l'extérieur de la bouilloire et la base à l'aide d'un linge ou d'une éponge
humide et sécher. L'élément chauffant dissimulé au fond de la bouilloire peut se
décolorer, ce qui ne diminuera pas son rendement. Ne pas utiliser de savons ou de
produits abrasifs ni de tampons à récurer.
Au fil du temps, la bouilloire peut chauffer l'eau mais ne pas la faire bouillir, selon
l'utilisation et la dureté de l'eau dans la région. Le cas échéant, il est temps de
détartrer la bouilloire. Utiliser un détartrant et suivre les instructions du fabricant.
PROTECTION ANTI-TARTRE
Du tartre se forme lorsque l'eau est chauffée. Bien que ce tartre soit sans danger, il
peut être désagréable. L'élément chauffant dissimulé dans la bouilloire est conçu pour
aider à réduire l'accumulation de tartre.
La bouilloire est dotée d'un filtre anti-tartre au fond du bec verseur pour éviter que des
particules ne soient versées dans les boissons.
