SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning appliance.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handle.
To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG, BASE, OR UNIT in water or other liquids.
Close supervision is necessary when the kettle is used by or near children.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the kettle has malfunctioned or has been damaged in any manner. In such instances, contact Chefman Customer Support.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Chefman may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let power cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heatable oven.
Always put kettle on base, then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, press the power button, then remove plug from wall outlet.
Do not use the kettle for other than its intended use.
Scalding may occur if the lid is opened during the heating cycle.
Ensure lid is securely closed before serving any beverages.
The kettle is designed for use with this appliance. It must never be used on a range top. (Unless specific instructions for use on a range top are provided and include the precautions to be observed.)
Do not set a hot container on a wet or cold surface.
Do not use a cracked container or a container having a loose or weakened handle.
Do not clean container with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive material.
Never operate the kettle on a gas or electric stovetop, even if the stovetop is off and completely cool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTION

Do not place the appliance on a stovetop or any other heatable surface.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:

The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:
The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
If the appliance is of the gounded type, the extension cord should be a groundingtype 3-wire cord.

POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS

Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced. Please return it to an authorized service representative.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

This appliance must be grounded while in use.

To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.

During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance has been used a few more times.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FIRST TIME USE
Remove all packing and materials. Be sure that all parts are included before discarding any packaging.

Pull out the power cord from the compartment under the base, and place base on a flat surface.
Open the lid then fill water into the kettle.
Fill kettle to the maximum level mark (for first time use only) with fresh tap water.
Close the lid and place the kettle back on the base unit, and plug into a power outlet.
Switch the kettle on by pressing the switch to the "I" position, the blue LED light inside the glass jar will illuminate to indicate the water is heating.
The kettle will automatically switch to the "O" position once the water has boiled and the blue LED indicator light has gone off.
NOTE: Wait 30–60 seconds if you need to heat the water immediately after a boiling cycle.
Empty the kettle then wash the glass jar with water, repeat the above 2 times.
NOTE: Never allow the water to fill above the maximum level or lower than the minimum level indicated on the glass jar.

MAKING TEA

Remove tea infuser from kettle by grasping the tea infuser insert and lifting up.
Add fresh, cold water to the kettle, filling it for the number of cups of tea you wish to make—up to 4 cups (max fill for tea is 1 Liter).
Insert tea infuser into the kettle and ensure it is securely in place.
Once water has boiled, open lid and carefully add tea leaves or tea bags to the tea infuser. Securely close the lid. Warning: Use extreme caution when adding tea leaves. The kettle is very hot.
Wait until unit has completely cooled before removing tea infuser. Tea infuser will be very hot after use; may cause serious burns if not handled properly.

GENERAL USE
For everyday use follow steps 1-6 listed above to ensure best results.
The power source will only work if the kettle is placed directly on the base unit.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool before cleaning. Rinse the kettle or wash with warm soapy water. Wipe the outside of the kettle and its base with a soft, damp cloth. Be sure that the electric kettle socket is kept dry during all cleaning.
Spout Filter – This kettle has a filter to keep the water clean. Run filter under hot water and gently rub with a clean cloth or brush.
Dry all parts after every use.
Never immerse kettle or power base in water.

DE-CALCIFICATION
De-calcification refers to removing mineral deposits, which may form in the interior of the kettle and may result in discoloration.
To get the best performance from your kettle, decalcify it from time to time. Frequency will depend on the hardness of your water and how often you use the kettle.
We suggest using a kettle descaler in order to dissolve these deposits or scale. Follow the directions on the descaler package.
If a commercial descaler is not available, fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about ½ inch. Heat the vinegar to a boil. Repeat this with cooled vinegar until all deposits are removed. When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse out several times with clean water.
NOTE: Reheating tea in your kettle may result in a bronze color tea stain appearance on the stainless steel surface at the base of the kettle. This is caused by tea residue that adheres to the bottom of the kettle when reheated at high temperatures. After a few cycles, the surface of the stainless base may begin to turn a bronze color. To avoid tea-staining, do not reheat the same pot of tea twice and always rinse the inside of your kettle before each brew.
To remove the bronze color staining, dilute a small amount of food-grade white vinegar to a fresh kettle full of water and boil. This will remove the staining and/or any mineral deposits that may build up in your kettle. After boiling, allow to cool and thoroughly wash and dry before your next use.
