• Close supervision is always necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
• Do not allow children to operate or be near the Kettle, as the outside surfaces are
hot during use.
• Do not allow cord to hang over any edge where a child can reach it. Arrange cord
to avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement.

First Use: Remove all packaging from the kettle and the power base. Before using
wash all loose parts in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry. NOTE: We
recommend that the kettle be boiled two to three times and emptied after each
occasion, to remove any residues from the manufacturing process.
1. Place appliance on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge.
2. With switch in the “OFF” position, plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric outlet
only.
3. Fill the kettle, taking care not to splash the electrical contacts on the bottom of
the unit, and observing the MIN and MAX levels. If the electrical contact area of
the kettle is splashed, it should be dried or left to dry before use.
4. Make sure the water filter is in place in the kettle pour spout.
5. Fit the kettle onto the power base and depress the switch into the “ON” position.
The blue power indicator will illuminate. When the kettle has finished boiling,
the automatic cut-off system will switch the kettle to the “OFF” position.
•
Always ensure the water fill does not exceed the MAX level and is above the
MIN level as indicated on the inside of the kettle body.
•
Only use the kettle for boiling water.
•
Do not operate the kettle dry. Always use with water.
•
The kettle body can only be used with the complementing power base, and vice
versa: These parts cannot be interchanged with other types or brands of kettles
available.
•
Ensure the power is switched off before removing the kettle from the base.
•
Use extreme caution when pouring as boiling water can cause scalding.
•
Some smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of
manufacturing oils – this is normal.
