ABOUT YOUR STOVETOP PRECISION KETTLE
• Your Kettle can be used on electric,
gas, and induction cooking surfaces.
Do not use the Kettle in the oven or
microwave oven.
• For best results, match the kettle base
size with the cooktop burner size. If
using on a gas cooking surface, do not
allow gas flames to extend up the side
of the Kettle.
• Be sure to lift the Kettle when removing
it from the cooktop surface. Sliding or
dragging may damage the cooktop
surface or base of the Kettle.
PREPARING THE STOVETOP PRECISION KETTLE FOR USE
Before first use
• Before using your Stovetop Precision Kettle for the first time, wash the Kettle and lid
in warm, soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry.
• Fill the Kettle with water to the “MAX” fill line (see example below) and bring to a full
boil.
• To avoid damage to the Kettle, do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Before turning on the burner, ensure
that the kettle lid is securely in place on
top of the Kettle.
• Allow the Kettle to cool on a heatresistant surface. Do not leave Kettle
on a hot burner.
• If there are any signs of damage to the
Kettle, do not use.
• If handle is damaged or loose, do not
use. Do not attempt to repair or modify
the handle.
• The Kettle is meant to boil water
only. Do not put any other liquids or
substances in the Kettle.

BREW/STEEP TEMPERATURE SUGGESTIONS
The KitchenAid® Stovetop Precision Kettle allows you to confidently pour with precision.
It features the industry-standard 1-liter capacity carafe. The gooseneck spout and three
unique flow rate settings deliver precise and consistent pour control for a pour over
coffee, tea, or beverage of choice. A brew-range thermometer is displayed in the lid to
keep track of your water temperature while you pour so you know you are within your
preferred brewing range.
