To provide power to the display when the 

Electric Kettle is not on the base, insert 2 

AA batteries (not inlcuded) in the battery 

housing on the underside of the kettle. 

NOTE: If batteries have been added and 

the Electric Kettle is off the base, the 

display will show the current temperature 

of the water. Placing the Electric Kettle 

back on the base will allow full functionality 

of the kettle to change the temperature, 

heat, and hold temperature.

Volts: 120 V.A.C. 

Hertz: 60 Hz 
NOTE: The Water Kettle has a 3 prong 

grounded plug. To reduce the risk of 

electrical shock, this plug will fit in an outlet 

only one way. If the plug does not fit in the 

outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not 

modify the plug in any way.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power 

supply cord is too short, have a qualified 

electrician or serviceman install an outlet 

near the appliance.
A short power supply cord (or detachable 

power supply cord) should be used to 

reduce the risk resulting from becoming 

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. 
Longer detachable power supply cords  

or extension cords are available and may  

be used.
If a longer detachable power supply cord  

or extension cord is used:  
-  The marked electrical rating of the cord 

set 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 grounding-

type 3-wire cord.

-  The 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 unintentionally.
