Short Cord
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord.

- The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
- The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
- If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded-type 3-wire cord.
Line Cord
- Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
- To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the outlet.
- To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
- Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks.
- If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced.
- Please return it to an authorized service representative.
- Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

Frequency will depend on the hardness of your water and how often you use the kettle. You can either follow the directions using a commercial descaler or use vinegar and water, and follow the directions below:
