IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions thoroughly before using the appliance.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces or hot water. Use handles or knobs.
Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts
or from spilled hot liquid.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock and personal injury do not
immerse cord, plugs or electric kettle in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
5. Electric kettle must be operated on a flat surface away from the
edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, electrical repair, mechanical repair,
or adjustment.
7. Do not use for other than heating water. Other liquids or food
will contaminate the interior and void warranty.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
10. To protect against electric shock, unplug from outlet when filling,
when not in use, and before cleaning.
11. To prevent burns, allow to cool before cleaning.
12. Do not allow kettle to boil dry.
13. To avoid possible steam damage, turn spout away from walls or
cabinets during use; use protective pad under kettle to prevent
damage to wood finishes.
14. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
15. Do not place electric kettle on or near a hot gas or electric
burner or in a heated oven.
16. To disconnect electric kettle, remove plug from wall outlet. Never
pull on cord as this may damage the cord and eventually cause
electric shock.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not operate another high
wattage appliance on the same circuit with the kettle.
This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord (3-prong
plug). This type of plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a
3-prong plug. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk
of electrical shock. If the plug should fail to fit contact a qualified
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the grounding pin by modifying the plug in any
way.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer
cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may
be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal
to or greater than the rating of the kettle. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.
WARNING: To avoid burns and reduce risk of personal injury, use
extreme caution when carrying kettle containing hot water. Do not
pour in the direction of people or over people.
