Care and Cleaning

To avoid scale/lime deposit
buildup, empty kettle after each
use.
NOTES:
• To remove discoloration or scale/lime deposit from heating
element: Place 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) cream of tartar (available in the
spice aisle of grocery store) into the kettle. Then fill the kettle 1/2 full
with water. Plug in, turn ON (I), and bring to boil. Turn OFF (O), let
cool, and rinse several times with clean tap water.
• Only use kettle to heat water. If kettle is used to heat other liquids,
such as coffee or tea, the warranty will be voided.

Wipe the exterior of kettle with a
damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
scouring pads or powders since
they may scratch the smooth
surface of the kettle.
w WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Do not immerse kettle, power base, or plug in water or other liquid.
If Kettle Floor Discolors: It is normal for stainless steel heating
elements to discolor. This does not affect the performance of the
kettle. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners since this may
damage the stainless steel surface.
If Kettle Boils Dry: If your kettle is accidentally switched on without
being filled with water, or is allowed to boil dry, the kettle will shut off
automatically. You should:
• Press ON/OFF (I/O) switch to turn OFF (O), unplug, and wait about
15 minutes for the element to cool down.
• Refill the kettle; then use as normal and check that the kettle
functions correctly.
If Kettle Does Not Work: Make these simple checks before calling the
toll-free customer assistance number:
• Have you pressed the ON/OFF (I/O) switch to ON (l) position?
• If the kettle heats but does not boil, it might need descaling.
• Has the kettle been accidentally switched on without being filled
with water or allowed to boil dry? Press the ON/OFF (I/O) switch to
OFF (O), wait 15 minutes, and try again.
• Is cord firmly plugged into the outlet?
Anti-Scale Mesh Filter: Scale is caused by lime and calcium in hard
water. The mesh filter will prevent these suspended particles from being
poured out of the kettle. The filter should be cleaned periodically to
ensure optimum performance.
