- Connect the plug on the power base to the power outlet.
- Press down on the ON/OFF (I/O) switch, the kettle will turn off automatically once the water has boiled. When the water in the kettle cools to a certain temperature, you will be able to activate the kettle again. NOTE: Ensure that the power switch is free of obstructions and that the lid is fi rmly closed, the kettle will not turn off if the switch is obstructed or if the lid is open.
- Lift the kettle from the power base and carefully pour. Please pour the kettle with extreme care to avoid burns caused by boiling water and steam.
- The kettle will not re-boil until the switch is pressed again. The kettle may be stored on the power base when not in use. Always disconnect the power supply from the wall outlet when not in use.

Care and Maintenance
CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
- Always disconnect the appliance from the power outlet and let it cool completely prior to cleaning.
- Never immerse the kettle, power cord or power base in water. Do not allow moisture to come in contact with the power cord or power base.
- Never use chemicals or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside. Do not use steel wool or sharp objects to clean the outside as this may damage the outside of the kettle.
- Wipe the outside of the kettle body with a damp cloth or mild cleaning solution. NEVER USE HARSH CHEMICALS OR CLEANERS. If using a cleaner to wipe the outside of the kettle, wipe it off with a water dampened cloth.
- It is important to clean the fi lter located in the spout periodically. The fi lter catches lime and mineral debris and can become clogged. The filter is easily removed from the kettle spout by sliding it up towards the opening of the spout.
- Due to the gradual build up of calcium, lime and mineral deposits in your kettle, it is important to clean the interior of the kettle periodically.
- To clean the interior, a kettle descaling agent can be used. Carefully follow the instructions on the package of the descaler.
- The interior of the kettle can also be cleaned using white vinegar. Fill the kettle with 1 cup of white vinegar and 1-2 cups of water. Bring the kettle to a boil and let it sit for several hours. Discard the vinegar water mixture. Add clean tap water to the kettle and boil. This may need to be repeated until no trace of vinegar remains.
