CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the unit and base

Before cleaning, always disconnect the Water Kettle from electrical outlet and make sure that the Water Kettle has cooled completely.

Wash Water Kettle and base by hand with a damp cloth. Dry and polish with a soft cloth. Abrasives and scouring agents of any kind are not recommended.

Descaling the Unit

Calcium deposits may form on the interior metal parts of the Water Kettle. To get the best performance from your Water Kettle, clean periodically. The cleaning interval will depend on the hardness of the water you put into the Water Kettle. The use of a commercial descaler is recommended.

If a commercial descaler is not available:

1. Fill the Water Kettle with white vinegar to the MIN (0.25 L) mark.
   
2. Add water to the 0.75 L mark.
3. Boil and allow to stand overnight.
4. Empty the solution from the Water Kettle.
5. Fill the Water Kettle with water, bring to a boil and drain out the water. Repeat this step twice. The Water Kettle is now ready to use.

Cleaning the filter

Remove filter from Water Kettle (see "Inserting and removing the filter"); then rinse under running water.

NOTE: If calcium deposits remain on the filter, let it stand overnight in a solution of water and white vinegar. Rinse the filter thoroughly and replace in the Water Kettle.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical Requirements

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Volts: 120 V.A.C.
Hertz: 60 Hz

NOTE: Water Kettle has a 3 prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in an outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power supply cord or extension cords are available and may be used.
If a longer detachable power supply cord or 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.
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
