IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following: 1. Read all instructions. 2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. 3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. 4. Do not touch hot surfaces or hot water. Use handles or knobs. Care must be taken since burns can occur from touching hot parts or from spilled hot liquid. 5. To protect against fire, electric shock, and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug, power base, or electric kettle in water or other liquid. 6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning. 7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Call the provided customer service number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment. 8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury. 9. Do not use outdoors. 10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove. 11. Do not place electric kettle on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven. 12. To disconnect electric kettle, turn any control to OFF ( ) and then remove plug from wall outlet. Never pull on cord as this may damage the cord and eventually cause electric shock. 13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use. 14. Do not use for other than heating water. Other liquids or food will contaminate the interior and void warranty. 15. Do not allow kettle to boil dry. 16. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit. 17. Scalding may occur if the lid is opened during the heating cycle. 18. Heater may remain hot after the kettle is turned off. 19. WARNING: If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may be ejected. 20. Use only the power base provided. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Other Consumer Safety Information This appliance is intended for household use only. w WARNING Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either a polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized or grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. 2 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 appliance. If the appliance is of the grounding type, the extension cord must also be a groundingtype, 3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
