Before First Use - Presto Kitchen Kettle Instructions Manual

Important Cord and Plug Information
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 into 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.
A short detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD. Do not allow the cord to run underneath or around the appliance. The
magnetic cord may not detach easily if the cord is positioned in this fashion.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
How to Attach Legs and Handles
Tools Required: Phillips screwdriver
Parts Included: 4 Legs, 2 Handles
To Attach Legs to Base
1. Place appliance upside down on table or counter.
2. Using the screwdriver, remove the screws from each of the four mounting projections on the bottom of the appliance and set aside.
Use these screws to attach the legs to the base.
3. Position one of the legs, rubber foot facing up, over one of the mounting projections (Fig. A). Align the hole in the leg with the hole
in the mounting projection and fasten securely with screw. Leg should not rock or move if twisted.
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in stripping of screws or cracking of legs.
4. Repeat step 3 for other three legs.
5. Turn appliance right side up on table or counter. When properly assembled, the appliance should sit level with no leg rock.
To Attach Handles to Base
1. Place the appliance upside down on table or counter.
2. Using the screwdriver, remove the screws from the tabs on each side of the
base and set aside. Use these screws to attach the handles to the base.
Hint: When removing the screw under the plug guard, hold the screwdriver
at a slight angle or use a short screwdriver or a screwdriver with a long
shank.
3. Slide one of the handles, with the screw hole up, onto the tab so the hole
on the tab aligns with the hole on the handle (Fig. A). Fasten securely with
the screw. The handle should not wobble, but slight movement from side to
side is normal.
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in stripping of
screws or cracking of handles.
4. Repeat step 3 for other handle.
5. Turn the appliance right side up on the table or counter. When properly
installed, the handles should be parallel with the table or counter.
To Attach Basket Handle
1. Slide lock bar up on handle (Fig. B) and place one of
the handle bars into one of the tabs on bracket. Then
squeeze the handle bars together and fit the other
handle bar into the opposite tab on the bracket.
2. After attaching handle to basket, make sure to slide
lock bar down (Fig. C) to the locked position to
ensure against accidental detachment of handle from
basket.
