IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Read all instructions. 2. 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. 3. To protect against fire, electric shock, and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug, power base, or electric kettle in water or other liquid. 4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. 5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning. 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, repair, or adjustment. 7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury. 8. Do not use outdoors. 9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove. 10. Do not place electric kettle on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven. 11. To disconnect electric kettle, turn any control to OFF (O) and then remove plug from wall outlet. Never pull on cord as this may damage the cord and eventually cause electric shock. 12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use. 13. Do not use for other than heating water. Other liquids or food will contaminate the interior and void warranty. 14. Do not allow kettle to boil dry. 15. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit. 16. Scalding may occur if the lid is opened during the heating cycle. 17. Do not clean glass with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive material. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! Other Consumer Safety Information This appliance is intended for household use only. 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. 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 grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type, 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. 2 840228500 ENv02.indd 2 4/18/13 11:12 AM
