CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California residents need only supply proof of purchase and should call
1-800-726-0190 for shipping instructions. California law provides that for
In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a
nonconforming product (a) to the store where it was purchased or (b) to
another retail store which sells Cuisinart
®
products of the same type. The
retail store shall then, according to its preference, either repair the product,
refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product,
or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the
consumer’s prior usage of the product. If the above two options do not result
in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the
product to an independent repair facility if service or repair can be economically accomplished. * Cuisinart, and not the consumer, will be responsible
for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement or refund for
nonconforming products under warranty.
*California residents may also, according to their preference, return
nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary,
replacement, by calling our Customer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-
0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and
shipping and handling for such nonconforming products under warranty.

Cuisinart® Classic Stainless Kettle
in a dishwasher.
Immediately after each use, ll the kettle with hot water and liquid
dish detergent; let stand until lukewarm. Use a sponge or soft cloth
to remove any remaining food particles. Do not use steel wool or
other metal pads that make coarse scratches. Rinse thoroughly and
dry immediately for a awless nish.
®
to remove Burner stains
Stains on the outside bottom (not sides) of kettle can be removed
with an oven cleaner. Follow the manufacturer’s directions and
spray or brush the cleaner on only the outside bottom of the kettle.
If the directions call for using the cleaner in a warm oven, heat the
kettle before applying the cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
®
imPortant note: Cuisinart
Classic Stainless Kettle has
exceptionally high thermoconductivity, and even a low setting
on some gas burners will overheat. An inexpensive gas “ametamer” placed between the burner and the bottom of the kettle
solves this problem. Flame-tamers are readily available at most
hardware stores.
<
CooKing over a gas Burner
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the ame touches only
the kettle bottom. If the ame comes up the sides, energy is wasted and
the sides of the kettle may become permanently discolored.
<
What aBout the dishWasher?
Cuisinart® Classic Stainless Kettle
is dishwasher safe, but remember
that soil from other dishes may be abrasive. If the dishwasher is carelessly
packed, other dishes or atware may mar the surface of the kettle. Over
a long period, regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any
utensil. We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
<
to remove stains
Calcium in your water may leave a multicolored stain. This is from a
harmless deposit and can be removed with a little warm vinegar.
Caution: Detergent fumes can be irritating. Carry out
this procedure under a hood with an exhaust fan or in a
well-ventilated room.
