Using Your Electric Kettle

BEFORE FIRST USE: Remove plastic
bag from outside kettle and any pack-
aging that might be inside the kettle.
Fill kettle to MAX indicator on water
level window and bring to a boil until
kettle shuts off automatically. Discard
water and repeat. Rinse out kettle 2 or
3 times. The kettle is now ready for
use.
1. Remove from power base
before filling.
2. Fill kettle with required amount of
water. Ensure that water level is
between MIN and MAX on the
water level indicator. If using the
mesh filter, it must be in place.
If kettle is overfilled, boiling water may spit out of the spout.
If Heating Element Discolors
It is normal for stainless steel heating elements to discolor. This does not affect
the performance of the kettle. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners as
this may damage the stainless steel surface.
