First Use: Remove all packaging from kettle. Fill kettle with cold water to the
Maximum Fill Indicator. Plug cord into electrical outlet and bring water to a boil.
Unplug cord from electrical outlet and dispose of water, being careful of escaping
steam. We recommend repeating this process two to three times and emptying after
each occasion to remove any residues that may be left from the manufacturing
process.
General Use:
1. Fill the kettle with desired amount of cold water.
To prevent hot water from boiling out of spout, do
not fill the kettle past the Maximum Fill Indicator
located inside of spout.
2. Place appliance on dry, level, heat-resistant
surface, away from any edge. Note: Direct kettle
spout away from cabinets, walls, etc to prevent
possible steam damage.
3. Plug cord into a 120 volt AC electical outlet ONLY. When water reaches a boil,
whistle will sound. Unplug cord from electrical outlet. Due to escaping steam,
exercise caution when pouring hot water from kettle. Note: Loudness of whistle
will vary with amount of water in kettle-the fuller the kettle, the louder the whistle.
•
Never fill the kettle past the Maximum Fill Indicator and always ensure there is
at least 1 cup (8 ounces) of water in the kettle for heating.
•
Only use the kettle for boiling water. Do not add other liquids or foods to kettle
for heating as damage to kettle can occur.
•
It is best to always add freshly drawn cold tap water to kettle for heating.
•
Do not plug empty kettle into electrical outlet, always use with water.
•
Use extreme caution when pouring as boiling water can cause scalding.
