CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Always disconnect the kettle from electrical outlet before cleaning.

Before cleaning, be sure the kettle is cold.

Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a clean, damp cloth to preserve its original highly polished finish. Dry and polish with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring agents of any kind on the interior or exterior of the kettle.

Do not immerse the kettle or power base in water or other liquid, and be sure that the electric kettle socket is kept dry.

DECALCIFICATION

Decalcification refers to removing the calcium deposits which may form in the interior metal parts of the kettle.

To get the best performance from your Cuisinart® kettle, decalcify your unit from time to time. Frequency depends on the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the kettle.

We suggest use of a kettle descaler in order to dissolve these chalky deposits or scale. Follow the directions on the descaler package. If a commercial descaler is not available, fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about 1/2". Bring the vinegar to a boil. You may need to repeat this several times with cooled vinegar to remove the calcium buildup completely. When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse out several times with clean water.

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.
