CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the unit. There are no us-
er-serviceable parts inside. Contact technical support for further assistance.
To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, do not expose the base to rain or moisture.
Do not place the kettle or base on an unstable table, stand, tripod, bracket or cart.
The unit may fall, resulting in possible damage or injury.
When boiling water, keep the spout turned inward to prevent burns. Do not touch
any hot surfaces directly and always use the insulated handle. Do not open the lid
while boiling water.
Close supervision is necessary when used near children, infirm adults or animals.
Do not immerse any part of this appliance (or base) in water or other liquid. Do not
use with an extension cord unless it has been checked and tested by a qualified tech-
nician or service person.
Do not let the cord touch any hot surfaces.
Make sure that your electrical supply is 120V/60Hz and can handle 1000W. Ideally no
other high-draw appliances should be running on the same circuit at the same time.
Do not fill with water while unit is on base and base is plugged in.
Keep kettle and base away from any (external) sources of heat, such as a stove top or
oven. Such heat can deform and ruin the unit or base.
When unplugging cord, be sure to grasp from the plastic around the plug itself and
not from the cord.
CAUTION: Steam from the kettle is extremely hot and can cause burns. Be sure that
the spout is pointed away from people when handling.
Do not turn on kettle when empty. Make sure to have at least 2 cups of water inside
before boiling.
This kettle is designed for boiling water only. Using this appliance for anything else
may destroy it.
Keep base and unit on a dry, even surface.
WARNING
PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING AND STORE IT
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. IT WILL BE HELPFUL TO YOU IF YOU ENCOUNTER
ANY OPERATING PROBLEMS.

GETTING STARTED AND GENERAL USE
Note: Before the first use, fill the kettle with clean water until maximum level,
boil and empty and discard the water. Repeat this process again.
1. Plug the power cord it into a wall outlet.
2. Open the lid (using the lid release) and fill the kettle with water.
Do not allow the water to rise above the maximum level or below the min-
imum level.
3. Close the lid and place on the power base.
4. Switch kettle on by pressing tilting the switch towards the lid. up on the
switch towards the bottom of the kettle (see picture above).
5. The kettle will turn o automatically when the water has reached the boiling
point. The switch will flip o.
If you want to re-heat the water, wait at least 30-60 seconds before turn-
ing the kettle back on.
6. Li the kettle by the handle and pour the water as desired. Be careful not to
get burned by the steam coming up from the spout area.
MAINTENANCE
1. To clean, use a so, wet cloth or sponge to wipe the surface of the kettle. If there
is a stubborn spot, use a natural detergent, but do not use a rubbing compound or
powdered abrasive which can scratch the finish.
2. If your unit will not be used for more than a day, be sure to completely dry the kettle,
inside and out before storing it. This will prevent any spots or rust-like formation.
3. For storage, the power cord may be wound up in the base by turning the knob
found around the bottom of the base as shown in the picture.
4. Depending on your local water hardness level, from time to time, calcium
and magnesium deposits may form on the inside of your pot as scale (also
known as calcium carbonate and/or magnesium carbonate). This can be
seen as a hard white built-up, typically starting on the inside-bottom of the
pot. Aer some build-up, heating performance may be aected.
TO CLEAN OFF THE CALCIUM BUILDUP, FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS:
1. Boil a full kettle of an equal mixture of vinegar and water.
2. Allow the boiled mixture to stay in the kettle overnight
3. Pour out the remaining liquid the next morning.
4. Boil a full kettle of water only.
5. Empty the kettle.
6. Clean the inside using a cloth.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: Why won’t my unit power on?
A: Ensure that it is seated properly on the base and base is plugged in. When seated
properly, the kettle should sit flush on top of the base.
Q: Why does it take so long for water to boil?
A: This depends on the amount of water inside, and the temperature of that water.
(Large amounts of cold water taking the longest to heat up.) It has a powerful heating
element and should boil relatively quickly. If your unit has been working fine but only
developed this problem recently, it could be due to calcium carbonate build-up. See
the “Maintenance” section on previous page to alleviate.
