IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Do not touch hot surfaces or hot water. Use handles or knobs. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching spilled hot liquids.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a microwave or heated oven. To avoid possible steam damage, turn spout away from walls or cabinets during use; use protective pad under kettle to prevent damage to surfaces.
Handle Kettle Cord Wrap (Under Base) WARNING: Do not heat an empty Kettle! The concealed heating element in the bottom of the Kettle is protected by an automatic safety device. If your kettle is accidentally plugged in without being filled or is allowed to boil dry, it will automatically repeat a cycle of turning off, cooling down, and coming back on unless unplugged.
1. Before first use, rinse the interior of the Kettle. Fill the Kettle at a faucet. You do not have to fill it all the way to the top if you just want to boil a small amount of water. However, the minimum amount you must fill it to prevent the safety thermostat from cutting it off is 2 cups.
CLEANING & STORAGE 1. Before cleaning, be sure the Base is unplugged and the Kettle has cooled completely. Empty any remaining water from the Kettle. 2. Wash the inside of the Kettle with soapy water and rinse. NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS. Do NOT place in a dishwasher.
