How to Use
This appliance is for household use only.
Before first use, wash the interior of the kettle and the scale filter as instructed in
the CLEANING section.
BOILING WATER
1. To open the lid, press the lid release switch. The lid pops
up (A).
2. Fill the kettle to your selected level. Be sure not to exceed
the MAX line on the water window (B).
3. To close the lid, push down until it snaps into place.
Important: Never open the lid while water is boiling.
4. Always use the base and the kettle on a flat, level surface.
Place the kettle onto the 360° swivel base (C) and plug
into an electrical wall outlet.
5. Press down the I/O (On/Off) switch (D). The indicator light
illuminates.
6. Once boiling cycle is finished, unplug the unit.
Warning: Be careful when opening the lid, as you might get
a splash of hot water. Wait a few minutes for condensation
to evaporate. 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.
SCALE FILTER
Always boil water with the scale filter in place just behind
the spout (E).
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 element
in this kettle is designed to help reduce scale buildup, the
filter helps prevent particles from pouring into your beverage.
CONCEALED HEATING ELEMENT
This unit has a boil/dry protection safety feature that automatically turns off the
kettle and indicator light when boiling finished or when there is no water inside.
Care and Cleaning
CLEANING
1. Before cleaning, be sure the base is unplugged and the unit has cooled completely.
Empty any remaining water from the kettle.
2.
Pull out the scale filter for cleaning (F). Wash the filter in
warm soapy water and rinse or place it in the utensil holder
of the dishwasher.
3.
Wash the inside of the kettle with soapy water and rinse.
NEVER IMMERSE THE UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS
or place in a dishwasher.
4. Wipe the exterior of the kettle and base with a damp cloth or sponge and dry.
Note: The concealed element at the bottom of the interior may discolor. This will not
affect performance. Do not use abrasive soaps, cleansers, or scouring pads on any part
