Note: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.

Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If an extension cord is used:

1. the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product;
2. the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions:

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove all packaging materials before using. Wipe clean the interior and exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. When using the kettle for the first time, it is recommended that you clean your kettle before use by boiling a full kettle of water twice and then discarding the water.

• Use only cold water when filling the device.
• Use only filtered water to reduce lime scale buildup.
• The water level must be between the MAX. and MIN. marks.

The temperature indicator will display on the screen and the kettle will maintain that temperature for 2-hours. During this time, the thermostat will turn on and off to maintain its temperature.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect the appliance from the power outlet and allow to cool completely before cleaning. Never immerse the base area or cord in water, or allow moisture to contact with these parts.

REMOVAL OF MINERAL DEPOSITS AND LIME SCALE

Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the kettle interior to discolor. To remove this build-up, use Liquid De-scaler, a simple to use, non-toxic cleaner.

Alternatively:

1. Fill the kettle with 3 cups of white vinegar and the remainder with water and be allowed to stand overnight. DO NOT BOIL!
2. Empty the solution from the kettle, any stains remaining inside the spout can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth. Fill the kettle with clean water, bring to boil and then discard the water. Repeat and the kettle will then be ready to use.
3. The outside of the kettle can be wiped with a damp cloth.

NOTE:
Lime Scale forms over time when water is heated. Though scale is natural and harmless, it may produce a powdery substance or mineral-like chunks that can get into your hot beverages and affect the taste. While the concealed heating element in this kettle is designed to help reduce scale buildup, the filter helps prevent particles from pouring into your beverage.

CLEANING APPEARANCE OF HOUSING

Wipe the appearance of housing with a damp cloth or cleaner, never use harsh chemical cleansers.

CLEANING THE FILTER

Clean the filter with a damp cloth at intervals. The Filter can be detached for easy cleaning simply by pulling it out. To attach, insert the Filter into the support dent.

Do not use chemical, steel, wooden or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the kettle.
