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 appliance 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. Or, call the

appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.

❑ 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.

❑ Keep lid on carafe when in use.

❑ Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

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 is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from

becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in

their use.

c) If an extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be

at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and

2) The 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

unintentionally.

3) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a

grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Note: If the power-supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified

personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires,

or other injury to persons or damage to property. Keep hands and face

clear of the area above the Kettle.

11. Remove the kettle from the power base before pouring the water.

Caution: Always make sure the kettle is Off (0) before removing it from

the power base.

Caution: To avoid a risk of splashing, make sure the lid is securely

closed onto the kettle before pouring the water. Pour slowly and don’t

over-tilt the kettle.

Caution: Do not touch hot surfaces! When you lift the kettle from the

power base you may notice moisture on the power base surface. This

is the steam used to switch the kettle Off (0) automatically, which then

condenses and escapes through the vents in the underside of the kettle.

This is normal and should be ignored.

12. Unplug the power base from the electrical outlet when not in use.

Allow it to cool before reuse.

13. Empty the kettle after each use.

Important: Do not leave water in the kettle overnight.

14. For cleaning instructions, go to the CARE AND CLEANING section.

REHEATING WATER IN THE KETTLE

1. To reheat water in the kettle, check the water level.

Caution: When refilling, take care when lifting the lid, as the kettle,

if hot, may be full of steam. Keep your face, hands, etc. clear of the

opening.

2. If necessary, add more water, and then place kettle back onto the

power base.

Caution: Do not fill above the MAX level as indicated by the lever inside

the kettle. If filled above the MAX level it could cause boiling water to

splatter out.

Note: Be careful not to spill any water onto the power base.

3. Press On/Off (I/0) lever down, into the On (I) position. The indicator

light will come on.

4. When the water comes to a boil, the kettle will automatically shut off

and the indicator light will turn off.

5. Remove the kettle from the power base before pouring the water.

Caution: Always make sure the kettle is Off (0) before removing it from

the power base.

Caution: To avoid a risk of splashing, make sure the lid is securely

closed onto the kettle before pouring the water. Pour slowly and don’t

over-tilt the kettle.

6. Unplug the power base when not in use. Allow it to cool before reuse.

7. Empty the kettle after each use.

Important: Do not leave water in the kettle overnight.

8. For cleaning instructions, go to the CARE AND CLEANING section.

BOIL-DRY PROTECTION

A safety thermostat will automatically operate should your kettle be

accidentally plugged in without any water, or if the kettle is without

sufficient water, or if the kettle is allowed to boil dry. The boil-dry

protection device will automatically turn the kettle Off (0).

Important: To reset the boil-dry protection device, you must remove the

kettle from the power base and allow it to cool before refilling with water.

CARE AND CLEANING

service personnel.

kettle, scale filter or power base in the dishwasher for cleaning.

plug in water or any other liquid.

ELECTRIC KETTLE

1. Place power base on a level surface such as a countertop or table. The

power base must be dry before use.

Caution: To prevent plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the

blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

from the kettle with a soft cloth or paper towel.

Caution: To avoid the risk of splashing hot water, make sure the lid is

securely closed onto the kettle before operation.

bottom of the kettle.

Note: Be careful not to spill any water onto the power base.

8. Insert the polarized plug into an electrical outlet.
