OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING FOR THE
FIRST TIME
Before using your Cuisinart
®
Traditional Cordless
Electric Kettle for the first time, you should
operate the kettle 2 or 3 times following the
instructions below. This will remove any dust
or residue remaining from the manufacturing
process.
BOILING WATER
1. Remove the Lid.
Place the kettle with the spout facing away from
you. Gently lift off the lid.
2. Fill the Kettle.
Fill the kettle with as much fresh, cold water as
you will need. The maximum amount of water to
be used is indicated by the MAX fill level in figure
1 below.
3. Close the Lid.
Position kettle with spout facing away from you.
Replace lid on kettle.
4. Place Kettle on Power Base
Place the kettle on the power base so the
element on the bottom of the kettle sits securely
on the power base.
5. Power “ON”
Depress the power ON switch by gently pushing
down (see Fig. 2) until a click is heard. Switch
will light up red. When the water has boiled, the
kettle will automatically switch off.
NOTE: The kettle can be switched off at any time
before the water boils, simply by lifting the kettle
off the base.
6. Pour and Serve.
Pour water out slowly. Return kettle to base after
pouring. If you wish to reboil the water, you must
depress the power “ON” button again.
HELPFUL HINTS
Always use fresh, cold water for each boiling.
If the kettle is accidentally switched on without a
sufficient water level, a boil-dry mechanism will
automatically switch the kettle off.
Empty kettle after each use. Do not leave water
standing in the kettle.
NOTE: For your safety, it is recommended that
the lid be placed securely on the kettle whenever
kettle is in use.
