Boil a Kettle of water following the Operating Instructions below. Discard
the water.

Operating Instructions

CAUTION: Do not immerse Power Base, power cord, or plug in water or
any other liquid.
1. Place Power Base on a level surface such as a countertop or table.
The Power Base must be dry before use.
2. Raise the ON/OFF Lever into the OFF (o) position. (See Figure 1.)
3. Remove Kettle from the Power Base by lifting up.
4. Open the Lid by pressing down the Lid Release Button on the handle.
Fill the Kettle with the desired amount of water. DO NOT fill ABOVE
the MAX level or BELOW the .75L level as indicated on the Water
Window. Close the Lid. Wipe excess water off the Kettle.
CAUTION: Do not fill above the MAX water level. This could cause
boiling water to splatter out.
NOTE: If the Kettle is accidentally switched ON without sufficient water,
a boil-dry protection device will automatically turn the unit OFF
(o). (See Boil-Dry Protection explanation.)
NOTE: If the Lid is not properly closed, the Kettle will not automatically
shut off.
CAUTION: To avoid the risk of splashing while pouring hot water, make
sure the Lid is securely closed onto the Kettle before operation.
5. Place the Kettle on the Power Base, engaging the connector into the
bottom of the Kettle. Be careful not to spill any water onto the
Power Base.
6. Plug the Power Base into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
7. Press the ON/OFF Lever down, to the ON (I) position
(see Figure 2). The Power Indicator Light will illuminate.
8. When the water comes to a boil, the Kettle will automatically
shut off and the Power Indicator Light will turn off.
NOTE: The Kettle can be turned OFF (o) any time during the
heating process by lifting the ON/OFF Lever up.
WARNING: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam during use.
Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns,
fires, or other injury to persons or damage to property. Keep hands
and face clear of the area above the Kettle.
9. Remove the Kettle from the Power Base before pouring.
CAUTION: Always make sure the Kettle is OFF (o) before removing it
from the Power Base.
CAUTION: To avoid a risk of splashing, make sure the Lid is securely
closed onto the Kettle before operation. Pour slowly and
don't over tilt the Kettle.
CAUTION: Do not touch hot surfaces! When you lift the Kettle from the
Power Base you may notice moisture on the Power Base surface.
This is the steam used to switch the Kettle to OFF (o) auto-
matically, which then condenses and escapes through the vents in
the underside of the Kettle. This is normal and should be ignored.
