CLEANING AND CARE

Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool before 
cleaning.

Wipe the kettle and base of unit with a soft, 
damp cloth. Be sure that the electric kettle 
socket is kept dry. Dry all parts after every use.

Never immerse kettle or power base in water.
Any other servicing should be performed by 
an authorized service representative.

REMOVABLE SCALE FILTER

This kettle has a scale filter inside for  
clean water. The filter can be removed by 
grasping it and pulling upward. Run under hot 
water and rub with a clean cloth or brush. 

Replace the filter; it will snap back into place. 

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  
Cuisinart

®

 PerfecTemp

 Cordless Programmable 

Kettle, decalcify your unit from time to time. 
Frequency will depend on the hardness of your 
tap water and how often you use your kettle. 

We suggest using a kettle descaler in order to 
dissolve these 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 ½ inch (1.25 cm). Heat the 
vinegar to a boil. Repeat this with cooled vinegar 
until all deposits are removed. When the 
descaling process is complete, empty the kettle 
and rinse out several times with clean water. 

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

Solution

No lights are on

Be sure the unit is plugged in and the kettle is securely on the power 
base. Then press your preset temperature selection and press Start.

Kettle is not heating water

Be sure to press Start after pressing your temperature selection.  
If you are pressing Start and kettle is still not heating, call Cuisinart 
Customer Service.

Kettle goes into standby 
mode instead of remember-
ing its settings when put  
back on the base.

If the kettle is off the base for more than 2 minutes, the internal 
memory turns off. Simply put it back on the base, 

reselect

 your  

settings and press Start.

Keep Warm function is  
not working

The Keep Warm function is the default setting; the LED light  
indicates whether it is on or off.

Unit beeps and all the 
lights are flashing

The water level in the kettle is too low for heating. To avoid  
damaging the heating element, remove the kettle from base,  
add water, return it to the base and press Start again.

I pressed the wrong  
temperature button

Change your selection at any time by simply pressing another 
preset. When flashing light stays lit, the selected temperature  
has been reached.

Water is taking longer than 
usual to heat

Several variables can affect heat-up time, including room tempera-
ture, how much water is in the kettle, and the temperature of the 
water. If you’ve recently heated water to a higher temperature than 
your current selection, the kettle will appear to be heating, but is 
actually waiting for water to cool down. Add cold water to speed 
the process.
