The Elite Gourmet 1.7L Electric Glass Hot Water Kettle is the best way to prepare your hot water for all types of hot tea, hot coffee, hot beverages and foods that require adding hot water. Simply adjust the temperature dial to desired water temperature or press the boil water switch, and you'll have hot water ready in minutes. Once the desired temperature or a boil is reached, the kettle automatically shuts off. Your kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection. If it starts heating without enough water in the unit, the heater will automatically shut off to avoid damaging the heating element. It’s easy to pour, share and enjoy your favorite beverages without the worry and restrictions of a short power cord with this stylish and whimsically designed kettle with a 360-degree rotating detachable power base. The base conveniently sends all the electric power to the kettle and also contains a hidden cord storage compartment.
