Care and Cleaning 

1. To avoid scale/lime deposit buildup, empty kettle after each use.
2. Wipe the exterior of kettle with a damp cloth.
   WARNING Burn Hazard: Do not use abrasive scouring pads or powders since they may scratch the smooth surface of the kettle, causing the glass to break suddenly during use or cleaning.

To remove discoloration or scale/lime deposit from heating element: Place either 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar (available in the spice aisle of grocery store) or 1 Tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice into the kettle. Then fill the kettle 1/2 full with water. Plug in, turn ON (I), and bring to boil. Turn OFF (), let cool, and rinse several times with clean tap water.

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: 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 automatically switch off.

You should:

• Turn the switch to OFF (), unplug, and wait about 20 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 service number:

• Have you turned power 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? Turn the switch to OFF (), wait 20 minutes, and try again.
• Is cord firmly plugged into the outlet and kettle firmly seated in the base?

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. To clean the filter, unplug kettle and allow to cool. Gently brush filter with a clean, wet toothbrush. Rinse toothbrush and repeat if necessary.
