IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should

always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions thoroughly before using the appliance.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces or hot water. Use handles or knobs.

Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts

or from spilled hot liquid.

3. To protect against fire, electric shock and personal injury do not

immerse cord, plugs, power base or electric kettle in water or

other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by

or near children.

5. Electric kettle must be operated on a flat surface away from the

edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or

after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in

any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for

information on examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. Do not use for other than heating water. Other liquids or food

will contaminate the interior and void warranty.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot

surfaces, including the stove.

10. 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.

11. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during heating cycles.

12. Do not allow kettle to boil dry.

13. To avoid possible steam damage, turn spout away from walls or

cabinets during use; use protective pad under kettle to prevent

damage to wood finishes.

14. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage

appliance on the same circuit.

15. Do not place electric kettle on or near a hot gas or electric

burner or in a heated oven.

16. To disconnect electric kettle, turn kettle “off” and remove plug

from wall outlet. Never pull on cord as this may damage the

cord and eventually cause electric shock.

17. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not

remove the bottom cover. No user serviceable parts are inside.

Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only.

18. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

19. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by

Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex may result in fire, electrical shock

or personal injury.

20. Be sure the lid is securely snapped in place before turning kettle

on and during use. Allow to cool before removing lid. To remove

lid lift straight up.

21. Always use handle when pouring or to carry kettle.

This appliance is intended for household use only.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not operate another high

wattage appliance on the same circuit with the kettle.

Parts and Features

1. Lid

2. Anti-Scale Mesh Filter

(inside lid)

3. Power Base

4. Power Switch

5. Cord Wrap (can exit to left

or right of handle)

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to

reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer

cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may

be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal

to or greater than the rating of the kettle. If the appliance is of the

grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type,

3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so

that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be

pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

Using Your Electric Kettle

BEFORE FIRST USE: Remove plastic bag from outside

kettle and any packaging that may be inside the kettle. Fill

the kettle to the MAX indicator inside kettle and bring to a

boil until kettle shuts off automatically. Discard water and

repeat the process. Rinse out the kettle 2 or 3 times. The ket-

tle is now ready for use.

To Remove Kettle Lid:

1. Press button on handle to open lid.

2. Press button on underside of lid to release hinges on

inside of kettle and pull straight up.

To Replace Kettle Lid:

Align notches on side of lid with hinges on inside of kettle

and snap securely into place.

840139600 Ev02.qxd 3/21/06 3:45 PM Page 4

Using Your Electric Kettle (cont.)

1. Remove from power base before filling.

2. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water. Make sure

the kettle has at least 8 ounces (250

ml) of water. Do not fill above the MAX

fill line. If filled above the MAX fill line,

water will be emitted through the

steam vents at the base of the kettle

during the boil cycle.

3. Press and hold button on bottom of lid while inserting

notches on lid into tabs on kettle wall. The mesh filter must

align with the spout. Make sure that the lid is in place and

the kettle or power base is standing on a level surface.

If lid is not in place, auto shut-off will not operate.

4. After filling the kettle with water, place it on the base so

that it is correctly engaged.

5. Plug into the outlet and turn on (l).

6. The kettle will switch off (O) automatically when the water

has boiled.

7. After use, unplug the kettle and empty.

Anti-Scale Mesh Filter

NOTE: Do not remove the anti-scale mesh filter from the lid.

Scale is caused by lime and calcium in hard water. The mesh

filter will prevent these suspended particles from being poured

out of the kettle. To ensure optimum performance of the filter

it should be periodically cleaned. To clean the filter, rinse it

under running water and brush with a soft brush. An old,

clean toothbrush works well.

If Your Kettle Boils Dry

The heating element is protected by two automatic safety

devices. If your kettle is accidentally switched on without

being filled with water, or is allowed to boil dry, the kettle will

automatically switch off. You should:

• Unplug the kettle and wait about 20 minutes for the

element to cool down.

• Refill the kettle, then use as normal and check that the

kettle functions correctly.

wWARNING

Burn Hazard

• Do not overfill as boiling water can escape spout.

•

Avoid contact with escaping steam.

• Carefully carry unit holding hot water. Use handle only.

• Do not pour toward or over people.

• Allow to cool before removing lid or cleaning unit.
