Cordless Kettle
Your cordless kettle has the power supply connected to the
power base, eliminating the need to plug and unplug the cord
from the electrical outlet. However, it is always a good safety
practice to unplug the power base when not in use.
• For general operation see "Using Your Electric Kettle."
• After filling the kettle with water, it should be placed on the
base so that it is correctly engaged.
• After use, the kettle may be left on the base but we
recommend you unplug the cord from the outlet.
If Your Kettle Boils Dry
The heating element is protected by two automatic safety
devices. If your kettle is accidentally switched on without being
filled with water, or is allowed to boil dry, the kettle will auto-
matically switch off. You should:
1. Turn the kettle OFF, unplug the kettle and wait about 20
minutes for the element to cool down.
2. Refill the kettle, then use as normal and check that the
kettle functions correctly.
If Your Kettle Does Not Work
Make these simple checks before calling the toll-free customer
assistance number:
• Have you switched the power switch button 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? Turn the kettle OFF,
wait 20 minutes and try again.
• Is the kettle cord firmly plugged into the outlet and the kettle
firmly seated in the base?

Cleaning & Descaling Your Kettle
1. With kettle unplugged, empty any remaining water and rinse.
Allow kettle to cool. The mesh filter may be removed by
pressing inward through the spout with a finger. The filter
will drop into kettle cavity.
To insert the filter into the spout, position the filter with tabs
toward spout and press filter until it fits into place.
2. To avoid scale/lime deposit build-up, empty kettle after each
use.
3. Wipe the exterior of kettle with a damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive scouring pads or powders as they may scratch the
smooth surface of the kettle.
NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
