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.

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

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.

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.
