FIRST USE OF THE ELECTRIC KETTLE
•
Read all safety and operating instructions carefully before using the Kettle for the first
time. An adult should provide close supervision if Kettle is being used by children or
handicapped or infirm.
•
For new Kettles, do not use the first filling of boiled water, discard it, rinse out the
Kettle and refill with fresh water.
USING YOUR CHEF'SCHOICE
•
The appliance has two parts:
a) Base unit with electrical connector and power cord.
b) Removable Kettle with electrical adapter.
•
The Kettle can only be used with the power base unit supplied with the kettle. Base
unit and Kettle must bear the same model number. The Kettle lid must be fully closed
when heating the water. It is equipped with a snap lock so it does not open
unintentionally while the water is being poured. The lid can be easily opened with only
one hand. Simply grasp the handle and push on the lid release button with the thumb
(never force lid open, always use the button).
•
To close the lid, press down lightly on it until it snaps completely shut.
•
Remove Kettle from the base. Fill Kettle with at least 16 ounces (0.5 liters) of water to
prevent it from running dry during the boiling process. Do not fill the Kettle above the
maximum line shown on the water gauge to prevent boiling water from splashing out
through the spout. If overfilled and water flows down outside of Kettle and onto its
bottom, shut "OFF" and unplug unit, empty the Kettle, dry base thoroughly and refill
Kettle carefully before setting onto base unit. Water on the bottom of the Kettle can
lead to an electric shock. (See further instructions.)
•
After filling with water, place the Kettle on the base unit.
•
The Kettle is equipped with a convenient automatic steam activated switch-off device,
which detects the presence of steam and deactivates the appliance shortly after the
boiling point is reached. For the proper functioning of the automatic shut-off device,
it is necessary that the lid be completely closed. NOTE: This automatic switch-off
mechanism flips the "ON/OFF" (|/0) switch to the "OFF" (0) position when the water
boils. Upon automatic shut-off you may see a few drops of water on the base unit. This
condensate will not impair the operation of the Kettle nor its safety.
•
Unwind the power cord to the desired length before plugging the cord into a
powered outlet.
•
This appliance has a three way grounded power plug. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature by using a three-to-two way adapter. If your receptacle is only two way
without a ground seek help from a licensed electrician.
•
A short power supply cord is provided with this appliance to reduce the risk of
someone becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord and causing the Kettle
to overturn, discharging its hot contents. While The Legacy Companies does not
recommend it, extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use. If an extension cord is used, it should be a grounded three conductor cord
rated at not less than 15 amperes and match the configuration of the plug. The longer
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on or tipped over by children or the infirm.
