UNDERSTANDING THE CHEF'SCHOICE MODEL 686
• Read all instructions carefully and take a minute to familiarize yourself with the user-friendly
controls of the Model 686 kettle (Figure 1) before using it for the first time. An adult should
provide close supervision if kettle is being used by children or handicapped or infirm.
• For new kettles, do not use the first filling of boiled water, discard it, rinse out the kettle and
refill with fresh water.
• The appliance has two parts:
a) Base unit with electrical connector and power cord.
b) Removable kettle with electrical adapter.
• The kettle can only be used with the provided power base. Power base and kettle must bear
the same model identification number. Unwind the power cord from the bottom of power
base to the desired length before plugging the cord into a powered outlet.
• The lid is easily removed. Simply grasp the handle and pull upwards firmly. Do not pull the
handle sideways.
• This appliance has a three way grounded power plug. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature by using a three-to-two way adapter. If your receptacle is only two way without a
ground seek help from a licensed electrician.
• A short power supply cord is provided with this appliance to reduce the risk of someone
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord and causing the kettle to overturn,
discharging its hot contents. While The Legacy Companies does not recommend it, extension
cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is
used, it should be a grounded three conductor cord rated at not less than 15 amperes and
match the configuration of the plug. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on or tipped over by children or
the infirm.
• Fill the kettle with at least 16 ounces of water (which is approximately the same as 2 cups)
and place the kettle on the power base. Do not fill the kettle above the MAX indicator to
prevent water from splashing out through the spout during boiling. For greatest temperature
accuracy and convenience we recommend you fill the kettle with 1 to 1.4 liters of water
(approximately 4 to 6 cups.)
• If over-filled and water flows down outside of kettle and on to its bottom and onto the power
base, unplug the power base unit, empty kettle and dry thoroughly. Refill before returning
kettle to the power base.
OPERATING THE KETTLE (HEATING WATER)
Place the kettle on the power base and connect the cord to a 120 volt 60 Hz AC outlet. Press
either the Select or START buttons to activate the kettle's electronics. The buttons will
illuminate in blue and the temperature setting will display in red. Pressing the select button
will cycle through the six different menu items. A blue light dot will be visible next to each
choice along with the set temperature.
With not less than 2 cups of water in the kettle and the desired menu item selected, simply
press the START button to activate the heating cycle. Heating will not begin until the START
button is pressed. You may hear a soft click and the buttons will begin to flash blue,
confirming that heating has begun.
If the heating cycle is not interrupted the temperature will continue to rise until the Set
Temperature for the selected menu item is reached. At this point the kettle will beep to alert
you that the water has reached the selected temperature and is ready for use. The buttons
will then begin to flash green intermittently indicating the Keep Warm cycle is active. (Note
- the keep warm cycle will not activate after the Black/Boil setting 212 °F. When the water
reaches boiling, the kettle will beep then shut off.)
