SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handle.
3. To protect against electric shock and injuries to persons do not immerse cable, plugs or unit in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised. Keep the appliance and its cable out of reach of children less than 8 years.
6. Unplug from socket when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cable or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. If this should occur, contact Chefman® Customer Support for examination, repair or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Chefman® may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cable hang over edge of table or worktop, or touch hot surfaces.
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric hob, or in a heated oven.

13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
14. Scalding may occur if the lid is opened during the heating cycle.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

WARNING: Please ensure that the electrical socket can accommodate the product's standard plug. Do not attempt to alter the plug in any way.

CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.

SHORT CABLE INSTRUCTIONS

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

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension lead should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
3. The longer cable should be arranged so that it will not drape over the worktop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

POWER CABLE SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on the cable or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the socket.
3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the socket.
4. Never use the product if the power cable shows signs of abrasion or excessive wear. Contact Chefman® Customer Support for additional guidance and support.
5. Never wrap the cable tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cable where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CABLE SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

Do not place the appliance on a hob or any other heatable surface, even if the hob is not on. Doing so is a fire hazard.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packing materials and stickers from the kettle except for the rating label, which should remain on the unit. Be sure that all parts are included before discarding any packaging.
2. Gently wipe down the exterior of the kettle with a damp cloth or paper towel.
3. Unwind the power cable and place the base on a flat surface. (Make sure the power cable comes out of the opening in the base so the unit can sit level.)
4. To rinse the pot of any manufacturing residue, boil and discard a pot of water, following the instructions on p. 11.
5. Once complete, rinse the kettle with fresh water. It is now ready to use.

HOW TO BOIL WATER

The electric kettle is perfect for all your hot water needs: tea, instant or pour-over coffee, instant oatmeal or soup and more. The kettle lifts easily off its base for convenient filling at the sink and cable-free serving; it can also be returned to the base from any direction, so it works well for both right- and left-handed users.

1. Place the base on a flat surface.
2. Remove the lid.
3. Fill the kettle to at least the MIN line (0.5 litres) but not above the MAX line (1.8 litres) with cold, fresh water (preferably filtered or bottled). Place the kettle securely onto its base and return the lid to the pot.
4. Plug in the unit. Turn the kettle on by pressing down the power switch. The blue LED lights around the base of the kettle will illuminate to indicate the water is heating. NOTE: You can cancel heating at any time by switching off the power switch.
5. Once the water has boiled, the blue LED lights will turn off and the kettle will automatically power off.
6. To serve, lift the kettle off its base and pour.

SPECIAL SAFETY FEATURE: BOIL-DRY PROTECTION

The kettle comes equipped with boil-dry protection. While you should never heat the kettle without water at least to the MIN line, should the unit go dry or start without water, it will automatically shut off completely to avoid damaging the heating element. It will not come back on, even if you replace it to the base, until it has cooled down. To quickly cool it down, add cold water to the kettle.

TEA BREWING TIPS

• Use good-tasting water, preferably filtered, for best results.
• If using loose tea, use about 2 teaspoons of leaves per cup. If your loose tea comes with brewing instructions, defer to those initially for optimum amounts and steeping time.
• Add more or less tea leaves than suggested depending on how strong you like your "cuppa."
• Tea should steep for 3 to 7 minutes on average, depending on the tea. Avoid steeping for too long, which can make tea taste bitter.
• If making iced tea, double the amount of tea leaves and steep a little longer so when chilled the flavour does not get weaker.
• Save money by resteeping tea. Though black teas generally give up all their flavour during the first brew, some teas, like green tea and oolong, may be resteeped within a few hours; let them steep a little longer during the second steep for best flavour.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Clean the interior of the kettle as needed by removing the lid and carefully washing the inside with soapy water. Rinse the inside of the kettle thoroughly. Wipe the outside of the kettle and the power base with a damp cloth, if necessary.
3. CAUTION: Never immerse the kettle or power base in water or wash in the dishwasher; doing so will damage the unit.
4. To clean the spout filter, rinse it under hot water while gently rubbing it with a clean cloth or brush. Do not attempt to remove the filter.

DESCALING

Due to minerals in water, deposits may form on the base of the kettle and cause discolouration. To get the best performance from your kettle, descale it from time to time. Frequency will depend on the hardness of your water and how often you use the kettle. You can either use a commercial descaler, following the package instructions, or use vinegar and water, and follow the directions below:

1. Fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about 1.5 cm. Heat the vinegar to the boil.
2. Repeat this with fresh vinegar until all deposits are removed.
3. When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse it out several times with clean water.
