SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

WARNING : This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury or electric shock.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

2. 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.

POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.

2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.

3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.

4. Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced, and the power cord replaced. Please return it to an authorized service representative or contact Chefman Customer Service for assistance.

5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF

APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool before cleaning. Rinse the kettle or wash with warm soapy water. Wipe the outside of the kettle and base of unit with a soft, damp cloth.

NOTE : Be sure that the electric kettle socket is kept dry during all cleaning.

Spout Filter – This kettle has a filter to keep the water clean. Run filter under hot water and gently rub with a clean cloth or brush.

Dry all parts after every use.

Never immerse kettle or power base in water.

DE-CALCIFICATION

De-calcification refers to removing mineral deposits, which may form in the interior of the kettle and may result in discoloration.

To get the best performance from your kettle, decalcify it from time to time. Frequency will depend on the hardness of your water and how often you use the kettle.

If a commercial descaler is not available, fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about 1/2 inch. Heat the vinegar to a boil. Repeat this with cooled vinegar until all deposits are removed. When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse out several times with clean water.

Note: Reheating tea in your kettle may result in a bronze color tea stain appearance on the stainless steel surface at the base of the kettle. This is caused by tea residue that adheres to the bottom of the kettle when reheated at high temperatures. After a few cycles, the surface of the stainless base may begin to turn a bronze color. To avoid tea-staining, do not reheat the same pot of tea twice and always rinse the inside of your kettle before each brew.

To remove the bronze color staining, dilute a small amount of food-grade white vinegar to a fresh kettle full of water and boil. This will remove the staining and/or any mineral deposits that may build up in your kettle. After boiling, allow to cool and thoroughly wash and dry before your next use.
