BEFORE USINg FOR THE
FIRST TIME
Before using your Cuisinart
®
Cordless Electric
Kettle for the first time, we recommend rinsing
the kettle with water to remove any dust or
residue remaining from the manufacturing
process.
OPERATION
1. Remove the lid from the kettle and add
as much fresh cold water as you need,
watching the water level in the water
window. To avoid boil-over, do not fill
past 1.7L Max fill line.
2. Replace the lid.
3. Make sure the kettle is placed on the
power base, then plug in the base.
4. Power the kettle on by pressing the
On/Off ( / O) switch down until a click is
heard. 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 up.
5. Serve and enjoy. If you wish to bring
water to a boil again, depress 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 securely in place
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.
• 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 in place.
• 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 discolouration.
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
(1.25cm). 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.
