IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Always follow basic safety precautions when using your kettle.

Read all instructions.

CAUTION!

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handle. Do not touch the base or glass parts of the kettle during or immediately after operation.
• Do not fill the kettle above the “MAX” line. This may cause water to boil over and may cause scalding.
• Always handle with care when there is hot water inside the kettle to avoid scalding.

1. Do not immerse the kettle, base, cord, or plug in water or other liquids.
2. Closely supervise children near the kettle. Do not allow children to use or play with the kettle.
3. Unplug the kettle when it is not being used and before cleaning. This will avoid electric shock and prevent moisture from causing a short circuit in the power base while it is plugged in.
4. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Do not use the kettle if it is malfunctioning, broken, or chipped, or if the power cord or plug is damaged in any way. Do not try to repair the kettle. Contact Customer Support.
6. Using accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Place the kettle on a dry, flat surface. Do not place the kettle on or near heat sources such as stovetops, ovens, radiators, etc.
9. Always make sure the lid is closed while the kettle is operating. Do not cover the spout opening while the kettle is operating. Do not cover the slits near the On/Off Switch.
10. To disconnect, use the On/Off Switch to turn the kettle off, then remove the plug from the wall outlet. Only use the kettle as directed in this manual.
11. Household use only.

Plug & Cord

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces.
• Your kettle has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other), which fits into a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature to reduce the risk of electric shock. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, do not use the plug in that outlet. Do not bypass this safety feature.
• A short power-supply cord is provided with your kettle to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. 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.

5. Press the On/Off Switch. The blue indicator light will turn on. [Figure 1.3]

USING YOUR GLASS KETTLE

Boiling Water

This kettle should only be used for boiling water. Do not boil other liquids in this kettle.

1. Press the Lid Release Button to open the lid.
2. Fill the kettle to the desired level. Do not fill above the “MAX” line. [Figure 2.1]
3. Close the lid and place the kettle on the power base and plug in [Figure 2.2]
4. Press the On/Off Switch. The blue indicator light will turn on. [Figure 2.3]
5. The kettle will automatically turn off once it has finished boiling the water.

Note:

• Always fill the kettle with water to at least the “MIN” line to prevent overheating.
• You can stop the heating process by flipping the On/Off Switch back up while the kettle is operating.
• This kettle has a dry-run safety feature. If there is no water inside the kettle, it will automatically turn off to prevent the heating plate from overheating.
• If the kettle overheats, fill it with cold water and wait for 2 minutes before using it again.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Note: Do not remove the filter from the lid. Doing so will break the filter.

Cleaning

1. Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool before cleaning.
2. Wipe the kettle and base with a soft, damp cloth. Make sure that the electric socket on the underside of the kettle is kept dry.
3. Dry all parts after every use.

Note: Never immerse the kettle or power base in water.

Descaling the Kettle

You should descale the kettle at least once a week if you use it frequently. Descaling removes any mineral deposits that have built up inside the kettle. Always descale the kettle before and after storing for long periods of time.

1. Unplug the kettle and pour out all the water. Make sure the kettle is cool.
2. Squeeze half a lemon into the kettle, or add½ US cup/ 118 mL of distilled vinegar into the kettle.
3. If the kettle has thick scale buildup, scrub the kettle’s inner walls with a non-scratch scrub sponge. Note: Do not use steel wool, as this can scratch the kettle.
4. Add 2 US cups/ 473 mL of water. Boil the mixture.
5. Pour out the mixture, then wipe off any remaining scale with a non-abrasive cloth, sponge, or cleaning brush.
6. Repeat as needed.

Note: For quick descaling, add 3 US tbsp I 44 mL of baking soda to ½ US cup I 118 mL of vinegar into the kettle. Swirl the mixture around until it coats the walls of the kettle, wipe with a non-scratch sponge, and pour the mixture out. This method will only work for a thin layer of scale.
