Operating the Kettle

Do not leave the kettle plugged in if it is not in use!
1. Ensure the base (the part with the plug) of the kettle is placed on a stable surface
and within comfortable distance of a suitable 110v power outlet.
2. Place the kettle on a flat surface.
3. Press and release the lid release button (4) to open the lid. Fill the kettle with
cold (but not freezing) water. Make sure the water is above "MIN" and below
"MAX". The water level can be seen from the side of the unit through the water
window. Do not overfill.
4. Close the lid by pressing it down. Always ensure that the lid is tightly closed
before boiling.
5. Place the kettle flush on the base.
6. Plug the base of the kettle into a suitable 110v household power supply.
7. Press the switch (6) down at the bottom of the kettle. The kettle will light up and
water will begin heating to a boiling point. The time for boiling depends on the
volume and temperature of water.
8. After boiling is complete, the kettle will turn off automatically and the switch will
pop back up. Disconnect the kettle base from the outlet at this time.
9. Lift the kettle by the handle and carefully pour the boiling water into a suitable
container. Do not press the lid release button while pouring. Make sure the
container you are pouring into is rated to safely contain water at a boiling tem-
perature. Make sure this container also has a larger capacity than the kettle to be
sure it does not overfill, or fill to a dangerous level.
Caution: Steam may rise from the spout area after boiling is complete. Keep
clearance from the steam to avoid being burned.

Additional Operating Instructions and Tips

• Use cold water when filling the kettle. Use pure water only, without any additives
or ingredients.
• When filling the kettle, the water level must be between the MAX. and MIN. mark-
ing on the side of the unit. Overfilling is a safety hazard and will cause boiling
water to spill.
• Always make sure the kettle is switched off before removing it from the base.
• The kettle is only to be used with the base provided. Do not use the power base
for any other purposes other than powering this kettle.
• Do not immerse the kettle or kettle base in water.
• Always ensure that the lid is tightly closed before starting the boiling process.
