DESC: Sophisticated in design yet practical for everyday use, this 1500-watt electric kettle boils up to 1-3/4 quarts of water quickly and quietly for coffee, tea, instant soups, and more. The unit features water-level marks in quarts and liters, a washable filter, and a removable anti-scale screen, which must be in place when heating. For convenience, the unit is designed with an on/off switch and a signal light, as well as automatic shutoff and boil-dry protection. Its concealed heating element and cool-touch exterior and handle provide added safety.
