Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
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.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Do not use an extension cord with this product.
Plasticizer Warning
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
countertop or tabletop.
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes
may occur or stains can appear.
Electric Power
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your
appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a
separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Before Using for the First Time
Boil a Kettle of water following the Operating Instructions below.
Discard the water.
Operating Instructions
CAUTION: Do not immerse Power Base, power cord, or plug in
water or any other liquid.
1. Position the Power Base on a stable, level surface near an
electrical outlet. Unwind the power cord from the cord storage
Area located beneath the Power Base. Make sure the cord exits
through the cord exit slot on the side of the Power Base.
2. Check that the ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF (up) position.
3. Remove the Kettle from the Power Base. Using the Lid Tab, open
the Lid to its fully open position. Fill with fresh, cold water to the
desired level (see markings on Water Level Window). The Kettle
yields up to 1.7 Liters of water. Use at least 2 cups of water, but
do not fill above the MAX water level. Wipe excess water off
the Kettle.
CAUTION: Do not fill above the MAX water level. This could cause
boiling water to splatter out.
NOTE: If the Kettle is accidentally switched ON without sufficient
water, a boil-dry protection device will automatically turn the unit
OFF. (See boil-dry protection explanation.)
4. Make sure the Filter is in place before use. Boiling water may
splatter without the Filter in place.
5. Close the Lid and press down gently until it snaps into position to
ensure it is fully closed. Otherwise the Kettle may not turn OFF
after boiling.
CAUTION: To avoid the risk of splashing while pouring hot water,
make sure the Lid is securely closed onto the Kettle before operation.
6. Place the Kettle on the Power Base, taking care not to spill
any water.
5.
7. Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet. Press the
ON/OFF Switch down to the ON position. The Power ON Light
located on the top of the Handle will illuminate. The lighted
Water Level Window will glow blue and the water will begin
heating immediately.
8. Watch the blue lighted Water Level Window as the water bubbles
and comes to a boil. When a rolling boil is reached, the lighted
Window will then automatically turn off; the ON/OFF Switch will
lift automatically and the Kettle will turn OFF.
NOTE: The Kettle can be turned OFF any time during the heating
process by lifting the ON/OFF Switch up.
WARNING: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam during
use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns,
fires, or other injury to persons or damage to property. Keep hands
and face clear of the area above the Kettle.
9. Grasp the Handle and carefully lift the Kettle from the Power
Base before pouring.
CAUTION: Always make sure the Kettle is OFF before removing it
from the Power Base.
CAUTION: To avoid a risk of splashing, make sure the Lid is securely
closed onto the Kettle before operation. Pour slowly and don't over
tilt the Kettle.
CAUTION: Do not touch hot surfaces! When you lift the Kettle from
the Power Base you may notice moisture on the Power Base surface.
This is the steam used to switch the Kettle OFF automatically, which
then condenses and escapes through the vents in the underside of the
Kettle. This is normal and should be ignored.
10. To reheat, check the water level to ensure it is above the MIN
water level. If necessary, add more water before returning the
Kettle to the Power Base.
11. Press the ON/OFF Switch down to the ON position.
12. When not in use unplug the Power Base from the wall outlet.
Allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning. Empty the
Kettle after each use. Do not leave water in the Kettle overnight.
See User Maintenance Instructions.

6.
Boil-Dry Protection
A safety thermostat will automatically operate should your Kettle be
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 boil-
dry protection device you must remove the Kettle from the Power Base
and allow it to cool before refilling with water.
User Maintenance Instructions
The Lumens® Electric Kettle requires little maintenance. It contains
no user-serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing
requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a
qualified appliance repair technician.
CLEANING
CAUTION: Always unplug Kettle and allow to cool before cleaning.
Never immerse Kettle, Power Base, cord, or plug in water or other
liquids. Never use scouring pads or harsh cleansers to clean your Kettle
as they may damage the surface.
1. Make sure the Kettle is unplugged and completely cool.
2. Grasp the Handle and remove the Kettle from the Power Base. If
necessary, wipe the inside and outside of the Kettle with a soft,
damp cloth and wipe dry.
3. To remove the Filter, first raise the Lid.
Firmly push the top of the Filter forward
to release it, then pull it straight up and
out. Rinse the Filter under running water.
If necessary, use a soft brush to loosen any
scale deposits. Heavier deposits may
require soaking in a water/vinegar
solution. Do not wash in dishwasher.
4. To reinstall the Filter, turn the Filter so
that the top tabs are facing inside the Kettle. Align the slot on the
bottom of the Filter with the inside slot below the spout. Press
down on the Filter and press it forward firmly into the spout,
allowing it to snap in place.
5. Wipe the Power Base with a damp cloth.
6. Make sure both the Power Base and Kettle are completely dry after
cleaning and before use.
7. Wrap the Power Cord around the Cord Storage Area beneath the
Power Base for storage purposes.
