Using your Electric Kettle

1. Position the power base on a flat, heat resistant surface, as close as
possible to a power outlet.
2. Follow cord routing in power base according to exit patterns. Proper
cord routing will result in the power base laying flat when kettle is
placed in base. DO not operate kettle if power base is not flat. If
power base is not flat, remove kettle from power base and repeat
cord placement instructions.
3. To fill with water, remove the lid. Fill the electric kettle with water
to below the "MAX" water level mark. NOTE: Do not exceed the
"MAX" water level mark indicated on the electric kettle.
4. Plug the electric cord into an electric outlet. Turn the switch ON
by pushing down on the on/off switch. The window on the top
of the unit and the water window gauge will light to indicate the
unit is on. The water will heat and the electric kettle will switch
off automatically when the water boils. NOTE: Ensure the ON/
OFF switch is clear of obstructions and the lid is firmly closed. The
electric kettle will not turn off automatically if the ON/OFF switch
is constrained, or if the lid is left open.
5. Carefully lift the kettle from the power base and pour the hot water.
6. The kettle will not re-boil until the on/off switch is again switched
ON. Wait 25 seconds, allowing kettle to cool down, then switch ON.
