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
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.

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.
