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.

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.  
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.

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.
