INTRODUCTION

Your new Cuisinart® Cordless Electric Jug Kettle
features the latest technology to make boiling water
quicker and easier than ever. The elegant brushed
stainless steel finish makes it the perfect addition
to any table.

This kettle is exceptionally simple to operate, but
as with every new product, we suggest you read
the following information carefully to familiarise
yourself with the Kettle’s use and care.

ULTIMATE
CONVENIENCE

The Cuisinart® Cordless Electric Jug Kettle will
quickly become part of your daily routine. One
touch of the on/off switch begins the heating
process. In just minutes, this contemporary cordless
kettle brings up to 1.7 litres of water to
the boiling point and then turns itself off. You’ll
wonder how you lived without it!

Making Tea with your Cordless
Automatic Electric Jug Kettle

The most traditional use for a kettle is making tea.
Your Cuisinart

®

kettle will be a fast and convenient

way to make your cup of tea.

Whether using tea bags or loose tea, buy

the best
you can. The flavour will only be as good as the
quality of the tea. Tea tastes best when steeped in
a ceramic pot or cup.

For best results, use your Cordless Electric Jug
Kettle following the operating instructions on p.4,
as well as the following tips:

1. Fill kettle with fresh, cold water.

2. Place an infuser with loose tea or tea bag(s) in

your ceramic pot or cup.

3. Wait for kettle to click off, and immediately

pour the boiling water onto the tea.

4. The tea should be allowed to steep for 3 to 5

minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger it is.
For iced tea, brew tea double-strength
(steep twice as long) and pour over ice.

5. Stir and serve as desired.

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.

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 15mm.
Bring the vinegar to 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.
