SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS &
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it into
the outlet. This could result in injury or electrical shock.
Short cord instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement
or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.

Power Cord Safety Tips
1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the outlet.

4. Never use the product if the power cord shows signs of abrasion or
excessive wear. Contact Chefman Customer Support for additional
guidance and support.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place
undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray
and break.
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE
OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
California Proposition 65:
(Applicable for California Residents only)

Before First Use
1. Remove all packing materials. Be sure that all parts are included before
discarding any packaging.
2. Pull out the power cord from the compartment under the base, and place
the base on a fl at surface. (Make sure the power cord comes out of the
opening in the base so the unit can sit level.)
3. To rinse the pot of any manufacturing residue, “brew” a pot of plain
water without tea. To do so, lift off the lid and fi ll the kettle with water to
the MAX line.
4. Put the lid with the infuser attached (but empty) back on the kettle.
Place the kettle on the base unit, and plug it into a power outlet.
5. Turn the kettle on by pressing down the power switch. The blue LED lights
inside the kettle will illuminate to indicate the water is heating.
6. Once the kettle boils, empty it (discarding the water), then rinse it with
fresh water.

Quick Start: How to Make Tea
How to make tea with the infuser
1. Place the base on a fl at surface.
2. Remove the kettle’s lid. Remove
the infuser from the lid by
twisting it and sliding it in the
direction indicated on the lid.
3. Fill the kettle to at least the MIN
line (0.5 litres) and not above
the MAX line (1.8 litres) with cold,
fresh water. Return just the lid to
the pot.
4. Set the kettle on its base and
plug in the unit. The kettle will
beep once and the LED ring
near the kettle’s base will light
up in white, meaning it’s in
Standby mode.
5. Turn the kettle on by pressing
down the power switch. The blue
LED lights around the base of the
kettle will illuminate to indicate
the water is heating. NOTE: You
can cancel heating at any time
by switching off the power switch.

Quick Start: How to Make Tea
6. Meanwhile, add tea to the
infuser. Use loose tea (about 2
teaspoons per cup) or tea bags
based on the amount of water
you’re heating. (Wait to insert the
infuser until the water boils.)
7. Once the water has boiled, the
blue LED lights will turn off and
the kettle will automatically
power off. Carefully lift off the
kettle lid. Slide the tea-fi lled
infuser onto the underside of the
lid (a slight twist helps), insert it
into the kettle, and press the lid
to close.
8. Let tea steep according to
directions or as you like. When
fi nished steeping, remove from
the base and serve.
9. If you would like to remove the
infuser and return the lid to the
pot, carefully lift off the lid, then
let the infuser cool (you can run it
under water). Carefully twist/pull
the infuser off, and return the lid
to the kettle.

Quick Start: How to Make Tea
How to heat water without making tea
Follow the directions for making tea with the infuser but leave the tea and
infuser out of the kettle. Use hot water as desired.
Special Safety Feature: Boil-dry protection
The kettle comes equipped with boil-dry protection. While you should never
heat the kettle without water at least to the MIN line (0.5 litres), should the unit
go dry or start without water, it will automatically shut off completely to avoid
damaging the heating element. It will not come back on, even if you replace it
on the base, until it has cooled down.
Tea Brewing Tips
• Use good-tasting water, preferably filtered, for best results.
• If using loose tea, use about 2 teaspoons of leaves per cup. If your loose
tea comes with brewing instructions, defer to those initially for optimum
amounts and steeping time.
• Add more or less tea leaves than suggested depending on how strong you
like your “cuppa.”
• Tea should steep for 3 to 7 minutes on average, depending on the tea.
Avoid steeping for too long, which can make tea taste bitter.
• If making iced tea, double the amount of tea leaves and steep a little
longer so when chilled the flavor does not get weaker.
• Save money by resteeping tea. Though black teas generally give up all
their flavor during the first brew, some teas, like green tea and oolong, may
be resteeped within a few hours; let them steep a little longer during the
second steep for best flavor.

Keep It Clean
1. Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Clean the interior of the kettle as needed by removing the infuser and
carefully washing the inside with soapy water. Rinse the inside of the kettle
thoroughly. Wipe the outside of the kettle and power base with a damp
cloth. WARNING: Never immerse the kettle or power base in water or wash in
the dishwasher; doing so will damage the unit.
3. To clean the spout filter, rinse it under hot water while gently rubbing it with a
clean cloth or brush. Do not remove the filter from the spout.
4. Wash the tea infuser in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly; the infuser
is not dishwasher safe.
5. If storing the kettle, wrap the cord around the cord holder under the base to
keep it tangle-free.
NOTE: Reheating tea in your kettle may result in a bronze-colored tea stain on
the kettle. This is caused by tea residue that adheres when reheated at high
temperatures. To avoid tea-staining, do not reheat the same pot of tea twice,
and always rinse the inside of your kettle before each brew. To remove the
bronze-colored staining, add a small amount of food-grade white vinegar to
a fresh kettle full of water and boil. After boiling, allow the kettle to cool, discard
the water, and thoroughly wash and dry the kettle before your next use.
Decalcifying
Due to minerals in water, deposits may form on the base of the kettle and
cause discoloration. To get the best performance from your kettle, decalcify
it from time to time. Frequency will depend on the hardness of your water
and how often you use the kettle. You can either use a commercial descaler
(following the package directions) or use vinegar and water, and follow the
directions below:
1. Fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about
13 mm (½ inch). Heat the vinegar to a boil.
2. Repeat this process with fresh vinegar until all deposits are removed.
3. When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse it
out several times with clean water.
