•  To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, 

plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids. 

•  Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.  
•  Do not use this appliance outdoors. 
•  Do not plug cord into electrical outlet unless power switch is in “OFF” position. 
•  Always switch unit to “OFF” position and unplug from electrical outlet when not in 

use and before cleaning.  Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and 
before cleaning. 

•  Always ensure kettle is switched to “OFF” position before removing from the 

power base. 

•  Your Kettle has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling, tripping or 

entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the 
counter, table or other area or touch hot surfaces. 

•  While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make 

sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the Kettle (wattage is stamped 
on the underside of the Kettle base). To avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement 
position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, 
table or other area. 

•  Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the Kettle. On a 

polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. If the plug does not 
fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not 
fit fully, contact a qualified electrician. Do not alter the plug. 

•  Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or 

extension cord feels hot. 

•  Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during 

operation.
