SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Cord Safety

2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
   1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance;
   2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a groundingtype3-wire cord; and
   3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Electrical 3-Prong Plug

Appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding-type plug. It should be properly connected to a grounding-type outlet. The plug is designed to fit ONLY a 3-grounding outlet unit, and as such, the grounding prong should never be removed. If needed, a 2-prong adapter may be used if local codes allow it.

This kettle can be used in countries that operate on 100-120V and in countries that operate on 220-240V.
