IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 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. To protect against electric shock, unplug from outlet when filling,
when not in use, and before cleaning.
11. To prevent burns, allow to cool before putting on or taking off
parts and cleaning.
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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord
(3-prong plug). This type of plug will only fit into an electrical outlet
made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature intended to help
reduce the risk of electrical shock. If the plug should fail to fit
contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounding pin
by modifying the plug in any way.
