This Kettle has been calibrated to automatically shut-o when water
boils for approximately 30 – 40 seconds, regardless of the requested
temperature.
The temperature settings below the boil temperature of 100°C (212°F)
will not be aected by high altitude.
GROUNDED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electric shock this appliance has a grounded plug
(2 blades and 1 pin). If the plug does not t fully into the electrical outlet

Under normal use, scale build-up will form on the inside of the kettle
and will coat the stainless steel plate. Scale, which has accumulated
inside the kettle must be removed by boiling equal parts of white vinegar
and water (500ml/ 2 cups of each is recommended). Once the water has
boiled, allow the mixture to stand several hours or overnight. Empty out
mixture and ll kettle to the MAX level with fresh water. Bring water to a
boil and discard.
For heavy scale build-up, use pure vinegar and let stand overnight.
Empty out vinegar and ll kettle to the MAX level with fresh water. Bring
water to a boil and discard.
This descaling process should be repeated periodically.
NOTE: Scale build-up can be delayed by pouring out water after use
then relling the kettle when required.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used
if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If
the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that
it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over.
