Rinse each thoroughly. Do not immerse the kettle or power base in
water or any other liquid. These items are not dishwasher safe.
2. Fill the electric kettle with fresh water to the "MAX" water level. Boil
the water, following the directions below for use of your kettle.
3. When the water and unit have cooled, discard the water. Rinse with
cold water and repeat.
4. Your electric kettle is now ready for use.

Using your Electric Kettle

1. Position the power base on a flat, heat resistant surface, as close as
possible to a power outlet.
2. Follow cord routing in power base according to exit patterns. Proper
cord routing will result in the power base laying flat when kettle is
placed in base. DO not operate kettle if power base is not flat. If
power base is not flat, remove kettle from power base and repeat
cord placement instructions.
3. To fill with water, press the lid release button to open the lid. Fill the
electric kettle with water to below the "MAX" water level mark.
NOTE: Do not exceed the "MAX" water level mark indicated on
the electric kettle.
4. Plug the electric cord into an electric outlet. Turn the switch ON
by pushing down on the on/off switch. The indicator light will
illuminate to indicate the unit is on. The water will heat and the
electric kettle will switch off automatically when the water boils.
NOTE: Ensure the ON/OFF switch is clear of obstructions and the
lid is firmly closed. The electric kettle will not turn off automatically
if the ON/OFF switch is constrained, or if the lid is left open.
5. Carefully lift the kettle from the power base and pour the hot water.
6. The kettle will not re-boil until the on/off switch is again switched
ON. Wait 25 seconds, allowing kettle to cool down, then switch ON.
