BEFORE USING FOR
THE FIRST TIME
Before using your Cuisinart
®
PerfecTemp
™
Cordless Programmable Kettle for the first time,
we recommend rinsing the kettle with water to
remove any dust or residue remaining from the
manufacturing process.
OPERATION/HEATING
1. Open kettle by pressing the Lid Release
(OPEN) Button.
2. Add fresh, cold water, watching level in
water window.
Do not fill past 1.7L mark
–
overfilling could cause boil-over.
3. Close the lid by pressing down until it
locks shut.
4. Make sure the unit is plugged in, then place
the kettle on the power base.
5. Press the preset temperature button for
the type of tea you are brewing; both
preset and Keep Warm buttons will light up.
NOTE:
If Keep Warm function has been
turned off, only the preset temperature button
will light up.
6. Begin the heating process by pressing the
Start button. The selected preset will flash
until water reaches set temperature. To turn
kettle off at any time, simply press the Start
(Stop) button again.
7. Once your kettle has reached the selected
temperature, the unit will beep. The Keep
Warm, preset temperature and Start lights will
stay on, and temperature will be maintained
for 30 minutes.
8. Lift the kettle off the base to pour water.
All lights will turn off while the kettle is off
the base.
9. Return kettle to the base. Indicator lights will
go back on and the Keep Warm cycle will
pick up right where it left off.
MEMORY FEATURE
The kettle features an internal “memory” that
lets you leave the kettle off the base for up to
2 minutes without it going into standby mode.
When returned to the base, it will restart the
heating and/or Keep Warm cycles right where
they left off.
NOTE:
If kettle goes into standby mode before
it
’
s returned to base, simply reselect your preset
temperature and press Start to restart.
KEEP WARM MODE
Keep Warm is the kettle’s default function that
automatically maintains selected temperature for
30 minutes. If you have selected the Boil preset,
your unit will hold a temperature just below
boiling during the Keep Warm cycle. To bring
water back to a rolling boil, press the Start button
twice.
Keep Warm can be turned off by pressing the
Keep Warm button at any time before or during
the heating cycle. To turn it back on, just press
the button again. If Keep Warm is not selected,
when the kettle reaches the preset temperature
the unit will beep and the Start light will turn off.
The preset temperature light will remain lit until
water temperature has dropped below the preset.
BOIL-DRY PROTECTION
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. The lights will
flash and the unit will beep to alert you. Once the
kettle has cooled down, lift it off the base, then
replace it to reset and restart the heating cycle.
The quickest way to cool down the heater is to fill
the kettle with cold water; however, you can also
wait for it to cool down by itself.
SLEEP MODE
If the unit is not in use for 5 minutes, it will revert
to sleep mode. The heater and all lights will be
off, but your last selections will remain in the
unit’s memory. To turn the kettle back on, simply
press any button, or lift it up and then return it to
the base.
