hot liquid.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock,
and personal injury, do not immerse
cord, plug, power base, or electric ket-
tle in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when
any appliance is used by or near
children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use
and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts
and before cleaning.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our
toll-free customer assistance number
for information on examination, repair,

water. Other liquids or food will conta-
minate the interior and void warranty.

ate another high-wattage appliance on
the same circuit.
16. Scalding may occur if the lid is opened
during the heating cycle.
17. Be certain kettle lid is securely in place
during operation and when pouring
hot water. Do not use force when
placing lid on kettle.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance was selected to reduce the hazards
of becoming tangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary,
an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating
of the appliance. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.
