CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Always disconnect the kettle from
electrical outlet before cleaning.
Before cleaning, be sure the kettle is cold.
Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a clean,
damp cloth to preserve its original brushed finish.
Dry and polish with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring agents of
any kind on the interior or exterior of the kettle.
Do not immerse the kettle or power base in
water or other liquid, and be sure that the
electric kettle socket is kept dry.
DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to removing the calcium
deposits which may form in the interior metal
parts of the kettle.
To get the best performance from your Cuisinart
®
Kettle, decalcify your unit from time to time.
Frequency depends on the hardness of your tap
water and how often you use the kettle.
We suggest use of a kettle descaler in order to
dissolve these chalky deposits or scale. Follow the
directions on the descaler package. If a commercial
descaler is not available, fill the kettle with enough
white vinegar to cover the bottom by about 1/2".
Bring the vinegar to a boil. You may need to repeat
this several times with cooled vinegar to remove
the calcium buildup completely. When the
descaling process is complete, empty the kettle
and rinse out several times with clean water.
