Using the Automatic Kettle
Before First Use: Fill kettle to maximum capacity, bring to a
boil, then manually shut off the kettle. Discard water and
repeat. Rinse well.
NOTES:
• Use water only in the kettle. If used for foods or
beverages such as tea or coffee, the warranty will be voided.
• For increased efficiency and longer life the kettle must be
kept clean of mineral deposits. We recommend that you
empty the kettle after each use to prevent mineral deposits.
1. Unplug kettle before filling.
2. Fill kettle with desired amount of water. Make sure to cover
the element. The water level must be between minimum
and maximum indicator lines on the water level indicator.
WARNING! Burn Hazard. If kettle is overfilled there is a
risk that boiling water may spit out of the spout.
NOTE: This kettle has a built-in safety feature for
protection should the unit be plugged in without an
adequate amount of water or if the kettles boil dry.
3. Make sure that the lid is in place and the kettle or power
base (cordless models only) is standing on a level surface.
If the lid is not in place auto shut-off will not operate.
All kettle cords must be kept away from hot surfaces.
4. For cordless models, ensure kettle
is correctly engaged on base.
(See illustration.)
5. Plug in kettle.
6. Switch to ON ( I ) position. A light
will illuminate when the kettle is on.

7. The kettle will switch off automatically when the water has
boiled or you can manually shut the kettle OFF ( O ) when
desired.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the cordless kettle has
switched off automatically or is switched off manually
before removing it from the base.
8. Unplug kettle before pouring.
9. If you want to refill kettle immediately, first check the
water level indicator and then, if required, run cold water
in through the spout.
10. After use, unplug the kettle and empty.
11. Do not hold the switch on while the kettle is boiling.
If Your Kettle Boils Dry
The kettle element is protected by an automatic safety device.
If the kettle is accidentally switched on without water, or is
allowed to boil dry, the kettle will automatically repeat a cycle
of switching off, cooling down, and switching back on.
If this happens, you should:
1. Unplug the kettle.
2. Wait about 20 minutes for the element to cool down and
then use as normal and check that the kettle functions
correctly.
