BEFORE USING FOR THE
FIRST TIME
Before using your Cuisinart
for the first time, we recommend rinsing
the kettle with water to remove any dust or
residue remaining from the manufacturing
process.

OPERATION

1. Open kettle by pressing the Lid Release
Button.
2. Add fresh, cold water, watching level
water window. Do not fill past 0.5 L/
Max mark – overfilling could cause boil-
over.
3. Close the lid by pressing down until it
locks shut.
4. Make sure the power base is plugged in,
then place the kettle on the power base.
5. Power the kettle on by pressing the
On/Off switch up until a click is heard
and the indicator light is on. When
the water has boiled the kettle will
automatically switch off.
NOTE: The kettle can be switched off at
any time by pushing the Power switch
down.
6. Serve and enjoy. If you wish to bring
water to a boil again, press the power
switch once more.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Always use fresh water in the kettle.
• If the kettle is accidentally switched on
without a sufficient water level, a boil-dry
safety mechanism will automatically switch
the kettle off.
• The lid should always be closed while
heating water.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
• The kettle should always be emptied before
cleaning and storage.
• Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool
completely.
• Wipe the kettle and base with a soft, damp
cloth.
• Be sure that the electric kettle socket is
kept dry. Dry all parts after each use.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring
agents of any kind on the interior or exterior
of the kettle.
• Never immerse kettle or power base in
water.
Maintenance: Any other servicing should
be performed by an authorized service
representative.

DECALCIFICATION

Decalcification refers to removing mineral
deposits, which may form in the interior of the
kettle and may result in discoloration.
To get the best performance from your kettle,
decalcify it from time to time. Frequency will
depend on the hardness of your water and
how often you use the unit.
We suggest using a kettle descaler in order to
dissolve these deposits or scale. Follow the
directions on the descaler package.
Alternatively, fill the kettle with enough white
vinegar to cover the bottom by about ½ inch.
Heat the vinegar to a boil. Repeat this with
cooled vinegar until all deposits are removed.
When complete, empty the kettle and rinse
with clean water.
