How to Use

This appliance is for household use only.
Before first use, wash the interior of the kettle and the scale filter as instructed in

the CLEANING section.
BOILING WATER

1. To open the lid, press the lid release switch. The lid pops

(A).

2. Fill the kettle to your selected level. Be sure not to exceed

the MAX line on the water window

(B).

3. To close the lid, push down until it snaps into place.
Important: Never open the lid while water is boiling.

4. Always use the base and the kettle on a flat, level surface.

Place the kettle onto the 360° swivel base

(C) and plug

into an electrical wall outlet.

5. Press down the I/O (On/Off) switch

(D). The indicator light

illuminates.

6. Once boiling cycle is finished, unplug the unit.
Warning: Be careful when opening the lid, as you might get

a splash of hot water. Wait a few minutes for condensation

to evaporate. After boiling water, the outside of the kettle is

hot. Use only the handle to pick it up. Do not grasp kettle

body with both hands.
SCALE FILTER

Always boil water with the scale filter in place just behind

the spout

(E).

Lime scale forms over time when water is heated. Though

scale is natural and harmless, it may produce a powdery

substance or mineral-like chunks that can get into your hot

beverages and affect the taste. While the concealed element

in this kettle is designed to help reduce scale buildup, the

filter helps prevent particles from pouring into your beverage.

CONCEALED HEATING ELEMENT
This unit has a boil/dry protection safety feature that automatically turns off the

kettle and indicator light when boiling finished or when there is no water inside.

Care and Cleaning

of the dishwasher.

3. Wash the inside of the kettle with soapy water and rinse.

NEVER IMMERSE THE UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS
