BEFORE USING YOUR KETTLE If you are using the kettle for the first time, clean your kettle by boiling a full kettle of water twice and then discarding the water.

Move the On/Off switch to the ON position (indicated by the symbol "I"). NOTE: Ensure that the switch is not obstructed and the lid is firmly closed. The kettle will not turn off if the switch cannot move or if the lid is open. NOTE: After removing the kettle, there may be some water on the surface of the stand.

If this occurs, allow the kettle to cool for ten minutes before refilling with cold water and re-boiling.
