Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either a polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized or grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance.

Care and Cleaning

To avoid scale/lime deposit buildup, empty kettle after each use.
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.

To remove discoloration or scale/lime deposit from heating element: Place 1/2 teaspoon 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 (0), 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 (0), 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 assistance number
- Have you turned power switch to ON (I) position?
- If the kettle heats but does not boil, it might need descaling.
- Has the kettle been switched on accidentally without being filled with water or allowed to boil dry? Turn the switch to OFF (0), 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. The mesh filter may be removed by pulling upwards on the tab, which is visible through the kettle opening. Rinse filter under running water and brush with a soft brush. A small, soft-bristle brush works well. To replace the mesh filter, slide the filter back into the slots and snap into place. The filter will fit only one way.
