OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING FOR THE

FIRST TIME

Before using your Cuisinart® Cordless Electric Jug Kettle for the first time, we recommend operating 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. Open the Lid.

Push the release button on the handle and the lid opens. (See Fig. 1.)

2. Fill the Kettle.

Fill the kettle with as much fresh, cold water as you will need. The maximum water level is indicated near the handle and is marked by the word “MAX”. (See Fig. 2.)

3. Close the Lid.

Position kettle with spout facing away from you. Press gently toward you to close.

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”.

Activate the power “ON” switch by gently lifting up until a “click” is heard (See Fig. 3.) 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 lift 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 closed on the kettle whenever kettle is in use.
