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.

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of
the countertop or tabletop or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC
coasters or placemats between the appliance and the finish of the

accidentally plugged in without any water, or if the Kettle is without
sufficient water, or if the Kettle is allowed to boil dry. To reset the
