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

placemats between the power base and the finish of the countertop or
tabletop. Failure to do this may cause the finish to darken, permanent
blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

3. Remove kettle from the power base by lifting it up.
4. Open the lid.

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.
9. Press the On/Off (I/0) lever from the kettle downwards, into the On (I)

off and the indicator light will turn off.
Note: The kettle can be turned Off (0) at any time during the heating
process by pressing the On/Off (I/0) lever to the Off (0) position.
