The Hamilton Beach Commercial 1 Liter Stainless Steel Kettle operates on 1200 watts and quickly boils water in a few short minutes. It is more energy efficient than stove top kettles and 1500 watt electric options. The kettle easily detaches from the corded base for safe, clean and convenient use. The kettle is hospitality rated and built to last for 10 years or 10,000 boiling cycles. It shuts off automatically after water reaches the boiling point and when the water level hits a low point to prevent scorching. Premium food-grade stainless steel and BPA-free materials are durable and easy to clean. The drip-free spout has perforated stainless steel inside for steady pouring with no surprises. A one-touch lever opens the extra-wide lid to make filling and cleaning easy. Then simply press it back down to close. The convenient water level window on the handle is easy to see for right- or left-handed users and helps ensure accurate measurement. A lighted on/off switch that flips up clearly shows when the water in the kettle reaches the boiling point. The 360 degree rotating electric base is easy to access from any angle and features a generous 3 foot cord. Backed by Hamilton Beach Commercial with a 1 year warranty.
