Parts and Features  
Using Your Electric Kettle  
1. Lid  
5. Power Base*  
BEFORE FIRST USE: Remove plastic bag from outside  
kettle and any packaging that may be inside the kettle. Fill  
the kettle to the MAX indicator on water level window and  
bring to a boil until kettle shuts off automatically. Discard  
water and repeat the process. Rinse out the kettle 2 or 3  
times. The kettle is now ready for use.  
2. Power Switch  
6. Anti-Scale Mesh Filter*  
* Features on selected  
models only.  
3. Cord Wrap - can exit

4. Water Level Window

Cordless  
Kettle  
1. Unplug the kettle from the outlet before filling, or for  
cordless models, remove from power base before filling.  
2. Fill the kettle with the required amount of water. Ensure that  
the water level is between MIN and MAX on the water level  
indicator. If using the mesh filter, it must be in place.  
WARNING: If the kettle is overfilled there is a risk that  
boiling water may spit out of the spout.  
3. Make sure that the lid is in place and the kettle or power  
base (cordless models only) is standing on a level surface.  
If lid is not in place, auto shut-off will not operate.  
4. Plug into the outlet and turn on (l).  
5. The kettle will switch off (O) automatically when the water  
has boiled. (Remember, the surface of the kettle gets hot;  
take care–only grip the kettle by the handle).  
Anti-Scale Mesh Filter  
6. After use, unplug the kettle and empty.  
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. To  
ensure optimum performance of the filter  
it should be periodically cleaned. To clean  
the filter, rinse it under running water and  
brush both side with a soft brush. An old,  
clean toothbrush works well.  
NOTE: Use water only. If used for foods other than water, the  
warranty will be voided.

If Your Kettle Does Not Work  
Make these simple checks before calling the toll-free  
customer service number:  
Know Your Kettle  
Cordless Kettle  
• Have you switched the power switch button to the “on” (l)  
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.  
position?  
• Has the kettle been accidentally switched on without being  
filled with water or allowed to boil dry? Wait 15 minutes  
and try again.  
• For general operation see “Using Your Electric Kettle.”  
• Is the kettle cord firmly plugged in the outlet or, in the case  
of the cordless kettle, is it firmly plugged into the outlet and  
firmly seated in the base?  
• 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 the kettle heats but does not boil, it might need descaling.  
If Your Kettle Boils Dry  
Cleaning & Descaling  
Your Kettle  
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 repeat a cycle of switching off, cooling down  
and switching back on. You should:  
• Unplug the kettle and wait about 15 minutes for the  
element to cool down.  
1. With kettle unplugged, empty out any remaining water and  
rinse. If your model has a mesh filter, remove it before  
cleaning.  
2. To remove lime deposits, which build up periodically from  
all water, use a scale/lime remover following its directions  
carefully.  
• Refill the kettle, then use as normal and check that the  
kettle functions correctly.  
3. To avoid scale/lime deposit build up, empty the kettle after  
each use.  
If Heating Element 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 as this may damage the  
4. Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a damp cloth. Do not  
use abrasive scouring pads or powders as they may  
scratch the smooth surface of the kettle.
