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

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.

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.

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.
