Cordless Kettle
• For general operation see “Using Your
Electric Kettle.”
• After filling the kettle with water, it
should be placed on the power base
so that it is correctly engaged.
• After use, replace the kettle on the
power base. Always unplug the cord
from the outlet.
If Your Kettle Boils Dry
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 switch off. You should: 1. Turn the kettle OFF, unplug the kettle
and wait about 20 minutes for the
element to cool down.
2. Refill the kettle, then use as normal
and check that the kettle functions
correctly.
If Your Kettle Does Not Work
Make these simple checks before
calling the toll-free customer assistance
number:
• Have you switched the power switch
button to ON ( l ) position?
• Has the kettle been accidentally
switched on without being filled
with water or allowed to boil dry?
Turn the kettle OFF ( O ), wait 20 min-
utes and try again.
• Is the kettle cord firmly plugged into
the outlet and the kettle firmly seated
in the base?
Anti-Scale Mesh Filter
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. See “Cleaning Your
Kettle.”
