CORD, PLUG, OR POWER BASE UNIT in water or other liquids.

putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair,
or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Capresso may
result in fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

12. Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.
13. Always make sure that lid is closed during operation. Scalding may occur
when lid is open during operation.

16. FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to
reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
a. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord must be as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
b. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding type 3-wire cord, and
c. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter
top or table top where it can be puled on by children or tripped over.
4. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in 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 defeat this
safety feature.

WELCOME TO THE CAPRESSO H2O CORDLESS GLASS KETTLE
The Capresso water kettle boils water faster, safer and more energy efficiently than
your stovetop. Water heats instantly. When it comes to a boil, it shuts itself off.
The Capresso water kettle is easy to operate. The universal power base is ideal
for left or right hand use. The blue indicator adds style and practicality. Whenever
the kettle shuts off, the blue indicator light turns off. With its high quality Schott
glass and its beautiful design this kettle fits well in every kitchen environment.

PLEASE DON'T!
Never boil water while the lid is open. The kettle will not shut off and boiling
water may splash out of the kettle. This can cause severe injuries.
Never try to remove the lid.
When opening the lid, handle it gently and do not try to push it beyond its
normal resistance. If you break the lid, the kettle will not work properly.
Never fill kettle with anything but water.
Do not add instant soups or any other soluble to the kettle.
Do not use the kettle to thaw food of any kind.
Do not use the kettle to make sauces or to melt cheese, butter or any other items.
Never immerse the kettle in any liquid. Never put kettle or base in the dishwasher.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Read all Important Safeguards and Operating Instructions before using this
kettle. Discard the first filling of boiling water to remove any dust and residues
from the manufacturing process.

TO BOIL WATER
1. Remove kettle from base.
2. Open the lid until it stands vertically. DO NOT BEND LID FURTHER BACK!
3. Fill with the desired amount of fresh cold water. The kettle has minimum and
maximum markings. Never underfill or overfill the kettle.
CAUTION / DANGEROUS: Never fill above the MAX line. If you fill above
the max line, boiling water will push out of the pouring spout. This can cause
severe injuries and burns.
4. Close lid.
5. Place kettle on Power Base.
6. Plug cord into wall outlet.
7. Gently push the On switch (B) upwards. The blue Indicator Light will turn on
and the kettle begins to heat the water.
8. When the water comes to a boil the kettle will turn off automatically, the
on-switch will jump down and the light will shut off.

4.
9. Lift kettle from base and pour water out slowly. IMPORTANT Open lid (A) at
a 90 angle, when pouring all of the water at once into another container.
This way hot steam will be diverted away from the hand holding the handle (D).
10. Replace kettle.
11. If you want to bring the remaining water to a boil again, repeat step 7.

HELPFUL HINTS:
Never try to boil water with the lid open.
Do not leave water standing in the kettle. Discard unused water.
If the kettle is "ON" without water, the kettle will automatically turn off (the
blue indicator light will turn off, but the switch will NOT jump back). Slide the
switch (B) downward to the complete OFF position.
If you remove the kettle during heating before Auto Shut-Off the blue
indicator light will turn off but the switch will stay in the ON position. If you
place the kettle back on the power base, the light will turn on again, indicating
that heating continues. You can always slide the switch downward to the
complete OFF position.

CLEANING
Always unplug cord of power base before cleaning.
Make sure kettle is cold.
Clean the exterior surface with a clean, damp, soft cloth.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring agents.
Rinse out kettle and wipe dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Attention:
Over time the stainless steel cover of the heating element inside the bottom
of the kettle may change color slightly. This is caused by the intense heat of
the heating element.
If your water has a high iron content brownish stains may appear on the
stainless steel element (this is also known as "boiler scale"). These stains can
be wiped away with a cloth and a mild abrasive. Rinse kettle thoroughly with
fresh water.

DECALCIFICATION
Hard water can leave calcium spots inside the kettle that can slow down boiling
time. Use a commercial descaling agent, like Capresso Cleaning Solution and
follow the instructions that come with the agent.
NOTE: Make sure kettle is cold.
Use of Capresso Cleaning Solution
Dissolve 1 oz (28 g) of Capresso Cleaning Solution with 32 oz (1 L) of water and
pour mixture into kettle. Allow mixture to sit inside the kettle for 20-30 minutes.
Pour water and Cleaning Solution out and rinse the kettle 2-3 times with fresh,
clean water. DO NOT heat the kettle while descaling with Capresso Cleaning
Solution.
Use of Vinegar
You can also use white vinegar to descale the inside. Fill the kettle with 2 cups
of water (16 oz) and add 6 tablespoons of white vinegar. Bring to a boil. Discard
the solution and repeat if necessary. Rinse the kettle once or twice with fresh
cold water.
