You Made a Good Choice
Your Chef’sChoice
®
Cordless Electric Kettle is the best of its kind. It can efficiently boil 1¼ quarts (1.2 liters) in
Model 691 and 1½ quarts (1.5 liters) in Model 692 of water in only minutes. An appliance crafted for excellence,
careful attention has been given to every detail from the sleek design to its multiple protection safety switches.
The Kettle’s enclosed heating element and stainless steel interior ensures years of service from this elegant and
durable product.
Your new Chef’sChoice kettle is uniquely designed to heat and maintain the temperature of water for extended
periods of time. The kettle’s vacuum sealed insulating layer allows your water to remain hot for several hours,
thus providing energy savings. These features are what make your new kettle a Chef’sChoice value. Yet, the
outside of the kettle body stays cool. And notice how quiet the kettle is while boiling water!
Please be ever vigilant that your hot water will remain hot for what may be a surprisingly long time. Use caution
whenever handling and dispensing water from your new kettle.
Please take a minute to familiarize yourself with the following instructions to maximize your enjoyment of your

• RemoveKettlefromthebase.Fill Kettle with at least three cups (0.7 liters) of water to prevent it from running
dry during the boiling process. Do not fill the Kettle above the maximum line shown on the water gauge
inside the kettle to prevent boiling water from splashing out through the spout. If overfilled and water flows
down outside of Kettle and onto its bottom, shut “OFF” and unplug unit, empty the Kettle, dry base thoroughly
and refill Kettle carefully before setting onto base unit. Water on the bottom of the Kettle can lead to an electric
shock. (See further instructions.)
