FIRST USE OF THE ELECTRIC KETTLE
• Read all safety and operating instructions carefully before using the Kettle for the first
time. An adult should provide close supervision if Kettle is being used by children or
handicapped or infirm.
• For new Kettles, do not use the first filling of boiled water, discard it, rinse out the
Kettle and refill with fresh water.

ELECTRIC KETTLE
• The appliance has two parts:
a) Base unit with electrical connector and power cord.
b) Removable Kettle with electrical adapter.
• The kettle can only be used with the appropriate heating base. Heating base and kettle
must bear the same model number. The Kettle lid must be fully closed when heating
the water. It is equipped with a snap lock so it does not open unintentionally while the
water is being poured. The lid can be easily opened with only one hand. Simply grasp
the handle and push on the lid release button with the thumb (never force lid open,
always use the button).
• To close the lid, press down lightly on it until it snaps completely shut.
• Remove Kettle from the base. Fill Kettle with at least 1 cup (0.2 liters) of water to
prevent it from running dry during the boiling process. Do not fill the Kettle above the
maximum line shown on the water gauge to prevent boiling water from splashing out
through the spout.
• After filling with water, place the Kettle on the base unit.
• The Kettle is equipped with a convenient automatic steam activated switch-o device,
which detects the presence of steam and deactivates the appliance shortly after the
boiling point is reached. For the proper functioning of the automatic shut-o device,
it is necessary that the lid be completely closed.
• Unwind the power cord to the desired length before plugging the cord into a
powered outlet.
• This appliance has a three way grounded power plug. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature by using a three-to-two way adapter. If your receptacle is only two way
without a ground seek help from a licensed electrician.
• A short power supply cord is provided with this appliance to reduce the risk of
someone becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord and causing the Kettle
to overturn, discharging its hot contents. While The Legacy Companies does not
recommend it, extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use. If an electrical cord is used the marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as high as the electrical rating of the kettle and match the
configuration of the plug. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on or tipped over by children or
the infirm.
• Plug base unit into a three way grounded 110-120 volt, AC outlet.
• Lift the power switch to the on position. The red light, near the switch should illuminate
to indicate the power is on.
• The Kettle normally switches o automatically within about 30 seconds after the
boiling point is reached.
• The time required for the Kettle to automatically switch o after the boiling point is
reached will vary depending on the amount of water in the Kettle; it will switch o
faster after boiling if filled to its “maximum” level than if filled to only a minimum level.
• If only warm water is desired, simple interrupt the heating procedure at any time by
switching the power switch o.
