IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
General Safety
Plug and Cord
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handle.
Do not touch the base or metal walls of
the kettle during or immediately after
operation.
• Do not fill the kettle above the “MAX”
line. This may cause water to boil over
and may cause scalding.
• Always handle with care when there
is hot water inside the kettle, to avoid
scalding.
CAUTION!
• Closely supervise children near the kettle.
Do not allow children to use or play with this
kettle.
• Do not immerse the kettle, base, cord, or plug
in water or other liquids.
• Unplug the kettle when it is not being used
and before cleaning. This will avoid electric
shock and prevent moisture from causing
a short circuit in the power base while it is
plugged in.
• Allow to cool before putting on or taking o
parts, and before cleaning.
• Do not use the kettle if it is malfunctioning,
or if the kettle, base, power cord or plug is
damaged in any way. Do not try to repair the
kettle. Contact Customer Support
(see page 12).
• Using accessory attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer may
result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Do not let the cord (or any extension cord)
hang over the edge of a table or counter.
Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces.
• Your kettle has a polarized plug (one prong
is wider than the other), which fits into a
polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature to reduce the risk of electric shock. If
the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, do not use the plug in that outlet.
Do not bypass this safety feature.
• This kettle uses a short power-supply cord to
reduce the risk of entangling or tripping. Use
extension cords with care.
• The marked electrical rating of an extension
cord should be at least as high as the rating of
the kettle (see page 3).
