How to Use
This appliance is for household use only and is for boiling water only.
Before first use, wash the interior of the kettle and the removable scale filter with
soapy water and rinse.
BOILING WATER
1. To boil water, press the lid release to open the lid (A).
The lid locks in open position.
2. Fill the kettle with water to desired level. Be sure not to
exceed the MAX line on the water-level markings.
3. Firmly press down on the lid until it is securely in the
kettle.
Important: Never open the lid while water is boiling.
4. Place the 360° swivel base on a flat surface then place the
kettle onto the base (B). Plug into a wall outlet.
5. To turn on the kettle, press the I/O (On/Off) switch, located
at the top of the handle, to the I (On) position (C).
The indicator light illuminates.
6. A concealed heating element designed to boil water and
reduce lime scale is located at the bottom of the kettle.
When the water has boiled, the kettle shuts off
automatically and the indicator light turns off.
Warning: After boiling water, the outside of the kettle is hot. Use only the
handle to pick it up. Do not grasp kettle body with both hands.
Note: The swiveling base remains at regular room temperature. Both the kettle
and the swiveling base are safe to place on dry surfaces.
BOIL/DRY PROTECTION
This unit has a boil/dry protection safety feature that automatically turns off the
kettle and indicator light when finished boiling or when there is no water inside.
If you desire another kettle of hot water, simply repeat steps 1-5.
Unplug the kettle when not in use.
SCALE FILTER
Always boil water with the scale filter in place just behind the
spout (D).
Lime scale forms over time when water is heated. Though
scale is natural and harmless, it may produce a powdery
substance or mineral-like chunks that can get into your hot
beverages and affect the taste. While the concealed heating
element in this kettle is designed to help reduce scale buildup, the filter helps
prevent particles from pouring into your beverage.
