To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet. Never use the product if the power cord shows signs of abrasion or excessive wear.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FIRST USE To rinse the pot of any packing debris, “brew” a pot of plain water without tea. To do so, follow the directions below. Remove all packing 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 the base on a flat surface.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO MAKE TEA WITH THE TEA INFUSER Place the base on a flat surface. Remove the lid. Remove the infuser from the lid by twisting it and sliding it in the direction indicated on the lid. Fill the kettle to at least the MIN line (0.5 liters) and not above the MAX line (1.8 liters) with cold, fresh water, and place the kettle securely onto its base.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BREWING TEMPERATURE GUIDE The chart below is intended as a starting point for brewing your perfect cup of tea. You may need to vary the amount of tea and steeping times based on the kind of tea, the size of the leaves, and your personal preference.
Page 13
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS When your desired temperature displays on the screen, press START/STOP to begin heating. The LED ring at the base will turn red, to indicate it’s heating. During heating, the water’s current temperature will display on the screen. Meanwhile, add tea to the infuser. Use loose tea (about 2 teaspoons per cup) or tea bags based on the amount of water you’re heating.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO HEAT WATER WITHOUT MAKING TEA Follow the directions for making tea with the infuser but leave the tea and infuser out of the kettle. Use hot water as desired. BOIL-DRY PROTECTION The kettle comes equipped with boil-dry protection. While you should never heat the kettle without water at least to the MIN line (0.5 liters), should the unit go dry or start without water, it will automatically shut off completely to avoid damaging the heating element.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Clean the interior of the kettle as needed by removing the infuser and carefully washing the inside with soapy water. Rinse the inside of the kettle thoroughly. Wipe the outside of the kettle and power base with a damp cloth.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE water, and thoroughly wash and dry the kettle before your next use. DECALCIFYING Due to minerals in water, deposits may form on the base of the kettle and cause discoloration. To get the best performance from your kettle, decalcify it from time to time.
