Caution: The appliance's surface, spout, the area around the steam vent on the lid, and the power base can become hot during or shortly after use. Always hold the handle when operating the appliance to prevent scalding or burns.

Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions must always be followed, including:

Read all instructions carefully and thoroughly before use.
Do not touch hot surfaces; always hold the handle or knob.
To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury, do not immerse the cord, plug, kettle, or power base in water or other liquids.
Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug the appliance from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow it to cool down before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after it malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Brød & Taylor may result in fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Do not use the appliance outdoors.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place the appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended purpose.
Close the lid firmly until it clicks; otherwise, the automatic OFF function may not work.
Hold the handle when removing the lid. Be careful not to touch the hot surface of the kettle body or the nozzle after boiling water.
Do not remove the lid during the boiling cycle, as this may result in scalding or burns.
When unplugging the appliance, hold the power plug itself; do not pull the power cord.
Do not fill the appliance with water while it is on the power base. Before placing it onto the power base, dry the bottom of the kettle.
To prevent the risk of scalding or burns, close the lid firmly.
Take care not to scald yourself. Steam is emitted from the steam vent or the spout during or after boiling, and when opening the lid.
Use the appliance on a flat and heat-resistant surface. Do not use it on top of other electrical products.
Do not wash the appliance or the power base in a dishwasher. Never use detergent.
Do not insert any foreign objects into slots or gaps of the appliance.
Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the appliance, or try to replace the power cord yourself.
The appliance is for household use only.

Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove the plug from the wall outlet.

Scaling may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycles.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Safety Overview

To boil water, follow the operational instructions. When water has boiled, the power automatically turns off unless the "keep warm" function is used.

Fill with Water: Remove the lid and fill the appliance with water (up to 0.8 L). Warning: Do not fill the appliance with anything other than water, as this may cause the substance to spurt out, causing scalding or burns. Do not overfill; filling above the max fill line may cause boiling water to overflow and spurt out of the spout, causing scalding or burns.

Start Heating: Close the lid firmly. Place the appliance onto the power base and insert the power plug into the outlet. Warning: Ensure the lid is properly closed; otherwise, the automatic OFF function may not work and could cause the water to dry out. Place the power base on a flat and secure surface. Failure to do so may cause scalding, burns, or injury.
