When using electric 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 injury to
persons, 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 assistance 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 boiling cycle.

Electric Shock Hazard. Do not
immerse kettle or plug in water or any
other liquid.
w WARNING
1. With kettle unplugged, empty any remaining water
and rinse. Allow kettle to cool. To avoid scale/lime
deposit buildup, empty kettle after each use.
2. To remove discoloration of scale/lime deposit from
heating element: Place 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
(available in the spice aisle of grocery store) into the
kettle. Then fill the kettle 1/2 full with water. Plug in,
turn ON (I), and bring to boil. Turn OFF (O), let cool,
and rinse several times with clean tap water.
3. Wipe the exterior of kettle with a damp cloth. Do not
use abrasive scouring pads or powders since they
may scratch the smooth surface of the kettle.
How to use the kettle
BEFORE FIRST USE: Fill kettle with water to MAX fill
line on the water level window. Push power switch to
turn the kettle ON (I) and bring water to a boil. Shut off
and discard water. Repeat 2–3 times, rinsing out kettle
each time. The kettle is now ready for use.
1. Fill kettle with required amount of water. Ensure
that water level is between MIN and MAX on the
water level window.
2. Make sure that the lid is closed and the power base
is on a level surface.
3. Plug into outlet and turn ON (I).
4. When water has boiled, turn the kettle OFF (O).
NOTE: The surface of the kettle gets hot; take
care—only grip the kettle by the handle.
5. After use, unplug kettle and empty any remaining
water.
NOTE: Only use kettle to heat water. If kettle is used to
heat other liquids, such as coffee or tea, the warranty
will be voided.
If Kettle Boils Dry: If your kettle is accidentally
switched on without being filled with water, or is
allowed to boil dry, the kettle will cycle continuously,
switching off, cooling down, and switching back on.
You should:
• Turn the switch to OFF (O), unplug, and wait about
15 minutes for the element to cool down.
• Refill the kettle; then use as normal and check that
the kettle functions correctly.
If Kettle Does Not Work: Make these simple checks
before calling the toll-free customer assistance
number:
• Have you turned power switch to ON (I) position?
• If the kettle heats but does not boil, it might need
descaling. (See Care and cleaning below.)
• Has the kettle been accidentally switched on without
being filled with water or allowed to boil dry? Turn
the switch to OFF (O), wait 15 minutes, and try
again.
• Is cord firmly plugged into the outlet?

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
This warranty applies to products purchased in the U.S.
and Canada. This is the only express warranty for this
product and is in lieu of any other warranty or condition.
This product is warranted to be free from defects in
material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year
from the date of original purchase. During this period,
your exclusive remedy is repair or replacement of this
product or any component found to be defective, at our
option; however, you are responsible for all costs
associated with returning the product to us and our
returning a product or component under this warranty
to you. If the product or component is no longer
available, we will replace with a similar one of equal
or greater value.
This warranty does not cover glass, filters, wear from
normal use, use not in conformity with the printed
directions, or damage to the product resulting from
accident, alteration, abuse, or misuse. This warranty
extends only to the original consumer purchaser or gift
recipient. Keep the original sales receipt, as proof of
purchase is required to make a warranty claim. This
warranty is void if the product is used for other than
single-family household use or subjected to any voltage
and waveform other than as specified on the rating label
(e.g., 120V ~ 60 Hz).
We exclude all claims for special, incidental, and
consequential damages caused by breach of express
or implied warranty. All liability is limited to the amount
of the purchase price. Every implied warranty,
including any statutory warranty or condition of
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose,
is disclaimed except to the extent prohibited by law,
in which case such warranty or condition is limited
to the duration of this written warranty. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights. You may have other legal
rights that vary depending on where you live. Some
states or provinces do not allow limitations on implied
warranties or special, incidental, or consequential
damages, so the foregoing limitations may not apply
to you.

to the store. Please call 1.800.851.8900 in the U.S. or
1.800.267.2826 in Canada or visit hamiltonbeach.com

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.
