Operating Instructions  
CAUTION: Do not immerse  
Power Base, power cord, or plug  
in water or any other liquid.  
1. Place Power Base on a level  
surface such as a countertop  
or table.  
The Power Base must be dry  
before use.  
2. Raise the ON/OFF Lever  
into the OFF position. (See  
Figure 2.)  
3. Remove Kettle from the  
Power Base by lifting up.  
4. Open the Lid by pressing  
down the Lid Release Button  
under the handle. (See  
Figure 2  
Figure 3.) Fill the Kettle with  
the desired amount of water  
while continuing to press the  
Button. DO NOT fill ABOVE  
the MAX level or BELOW  
the MIN level as indicated on  
the Water Window. Release  
Button to lower Lid. Wipe  
excess water off the Kettle.  
CAUTION: Do not fill above  
the MAX water level. This  
could cause boiling water to  
splatter out.  
NOTE: If the Kettle is  
accidentally switched ON  
without sufficient water, a  
boil-dry protection device  
will automatically turn the  
unit OFF. (See boil-dry  
protection explanation.)  
Figure 3  
5.  
 
NOTE: If the Lid is not properly closed, the Kettle will not  
automatically shut off.  
CAUTION: To avoid the risk of splashing while pouring  
hot water, make sure the Lid is securely closed onto the Kettle  
before operation.  
5. Place the Kettle on the Power Base, engaging the connector into  
the bottom of the Kettle. Be careful not to spill any water onto  
the Power Base.  
6. Plug the Power Base into a 120V ~ 60 Hz electrical outlet.  
7. Press the ON/OFF Lever down, into the ON position. The  
Indicator Light inside the Lever will come on.

heating process by lifting the ON/OFF Lever up.  
WARNING: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam  
during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk  
of burns, fires, or other injury to persons or damage to property.  
Keep hands and face clear of the area above the Kettle.  
9. Remove the Kettle from the Power Base before pouring.  
CAUTION: Always make sure the Kettle is OFF before removing  
it from the Power Base.  
CAUTION: To avoid a risk of splashing, make sure the Lid is  
securely closed onto the Kettle before operation. Pour slowly and  
don’t over tilt the Kettle.  
CAUTION: Do not touch hot surfaces! When you lift the Kettle  
from the Power Base you may notice moisture on the Power Base  
surface. This is the steam used to switch the Kettle OFF  
automatically, which then condenses and escapes through the  
vents in the underside of the Kettle. This is normal and should  
be ignored.  
10. To reheat water, check the water level to ensure it is above the  
MIN water level. If necessary, add more water, then place Kettle  
back onto Power Base. Be careful not to spill any water onto the  
Power Base. Press ON/OFF Lever down, into the ON position.  
CAUTION: When refilling, take care when lifting the Lid, as the  
Kettle, if hot, may be full of steam. Keep your face, hands, etc.  
clear of the opening.

Kettle overnight.  
Boil-Dry Protection

accidentally plugged in without any water, or if the Kettle is without  
sufficient water, or if the Kettle is allowed to boil dry. To reset the  
boil-dry protection device, you must remove the Kettle from the  
Power Base and allow it to cool before refilling with water.
