OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING FOR THE

FIRST TIME

Before using your Cuisinart® Cordless Automatic 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 residues 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 water level is indicated inside the kettle and is marked by the word “MAX”. The maximum amount of water to be used is indicated by the “MAX FILL” level in figure 2 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 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 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.

KUA-17 specifications

The Cuisinart KUA-17 is a remarkable kitchen appliance that has redefined the way we enjoy and prepare waffles. Combining efficiency with innovative technology, this countertop appliance is designed to deliver delicious, perfectly cooked waffles at home.

One of the standout features of the KUA-17 is its durable non-stick cooking plates. These plates ensure that waffles are released easily without sticking, which means less mess and hassle during cleanup. Furthermore, the non-stick surface enables even cooking, resulting in waffles that are golden brown on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Cuisinart KUA-17 is its adjustable temperature control. The appliance provides the user with a range of browning settings, allowing for customization according to personal preference. Whether you enjoy a light, tender waffle or a crisp, deeply browned creation, the KUA-17 can meet your needs with precision.

The locking lid feature is also an essential aspect of the KUA-17's design. It ensures a secure cooking process that not only helps in achieving even cooking but also prevents spills and mess. This is particularly beneficial when preparing thicker batters, which might overflow in regular waffle makers.

In addition, the KUA-17 boasts an indicator light system, which takes the guesswork out of cooking. The "ready to bake" and "ready to eat" lights signal when it's time to pour in the batter and when the waffles are ready, providing a seamless cooking experience that even novice chefs will appreciate.

Equipped with a compact design, the Cuisinart KUA-17 takes up minimal counter space while offering a large waffle capacity. With its ability to produce a classic Belgian-style waffle, it is an excellent choice for both families and individuals looking to whip up brunches or snacks with ease.

Moreover, the appliance emphasizes safety with cool-touch handle technology. This feature allows you to safely open the waffle maker without the risk of burns, making it user-friendly for all ages.

In summary, the Cuisinart KUA-17 is a versatile and efficient waffle maker that excels in design, functionality, and ease of use. Its combination of non-stick plates, adjustable browning control, safety features, and compactness makes it a valuable addition to any kitchen, ensuring that delicious waffles are always just a batter away.
