• Wash all parts as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING section.
• Select a level surface where this unit is to be used allowing enough space for steam to
escape without damage to counters, cabinets and walls.
• Fill kettle to maximum fill line with cold water. Bring to boil, discard and repeat. Kettle
is now ready for use.
Note: The kettle only operates when placed on the base with the ON/OFF (I/O) button in
the ON (I) position. The kettle automatically shuts off when water has boiled or there is no
water in the kettle.
Important:
• Do NOT fill the kettle with any substance other than water. Heat water only.
• Do NOT operate the kettle without water.
• Do NOT operate the kettle without the lid with filter securely in place.
• Do NOT overfill the kettle. (Keep water level below the max fill line on the water window.)
• Do NOT attempt to heat the kettle on a stove top. Only operate the kettle on the base that
is included with the unit.
FILLING THE KETTLE
1. Remove the kettle from the base.
2. Pull lid handle up to remove the lid.
3. Make sure the removable filter is in place.
To install filter: Remove lid and hold upside-down on a table.
Align the edges of the filter with the grooves in the lid. (A)
Gently push the filter downward until it slides into place.
4. Fill kettle with desired amount of cold tap water. Use the water
window on the outside of the kettle as a guide for 1 cup up to
1.7 liters (7 cups). Never fill the kettle above the MAX marking. Overfilling can cause a
hazardous situation and possible damage to the kettle.
5. Put the lid back on the kettle, making sure to place the filter in the front.
Important: Make sure that the filter in the lid is aligned with the spout when putting
on the lid. If you don't do this, water will build up behind the lid because it cannot be
poured out normally and this may cause the lid to come off unexpectedly.
6. Unwind cord from base.
7. Place the kettle securely on the base.
BOILING WATER
1. Plug cord on the base into standard electrical outlet.
2. Press the On/Off (I/O) switch to the On (I) position. The power indicator light turns on
and the water begins to heat.
