Instructions for Use
nBefore using for the first time, we recommend operating the kettle 2 or 3 times. This
will remove any dust or residue remaining from its manufacture. Fill to the MAX mark
level (1.5L), bring to the boil and when boiling has finished and the kettle has switched
off, discard the water and rinse out the inside.
nOpen the lid by pressing the lid release button located on top of the handle.
nFill the kettle with the required amount of cold water. The water gauge is on the side
of the kettle and is marked with MIN (0.5L) and MAX (1.5L).
N.B. Take care not to exceed the MAX mark as this may cause spitting or leaking from the
spout when boiling.
nPush the lid to close it; you will feel and hear a slight click.
nAlign the kettle over the power base with the spout facing away from you and gently
lower it into position, sitting it firmly on the power base.
nSwitch the kettle on by pressing down the power switch at the rear of the kettle.
nThe kettle will switch off automatically when it has finished boiling. However, the
kettle can be switched off at any time by simply lifting the power switch.
nPour water out slowly and return the kettle to the power base after pouring. If you wish
to re-boil the water, you must press the power switch again.
N.B. A couple of water droplets or condensation may appear on the power base, this is
quite normal and not a leak.
N.B. Do not open the lid of the kettle or during the heating process when pouring; escaping
steam may scald.
nOnce the kettle is re-located on the power base, it can be switched on again at any
time. If the switch will not stay down, it means the control is still a little warm; this is
normal and it will simply re-set itself in a few seconds when cooled and will be ready
to boil again.
N.B. If the kettle is accidentally switched on without a sufficient water level, a boil dry
mechanism will automatically switch the kettle off.
Hints &Tips
nAlways use fresh, cold water each time you boil.
nIf the kettle is accidentally switched on without a sufficient water level, a boil dry
mechanism will automatically switch the kettle off.
nFor best results, empty the kettle after each use. Do not leave water standing in the
kettle. This is to help prevent build up of hard water limescale.

10
Cleaning &Maintenance
nAlways unplug the appliance from the mains outlet before cleaning.
nAllow to cool before cleaning the appliance.
nClean the exterior surface of the kettle with a clean damp cloth to preserve its original
finish. Dry and polish with a soft cloth.
nDo not use abrasive cleaners or scouring agents of any kind on the interior or exterior
of the kettle.
WARNING! Do not immerse the kettle or the power base in water or any other liquid.
Ensure the electric kettle socket is kept dry.
DESCALING
nTo limit scale build-up, we recommend you use only filtered or low-calcium water.
nDuring use, lime deposits will form on the inside of your Cuisinart Jug Kettle. To get
the best performance from the kettle, we recommend descaling it from time to time.
Frequency depends on the hardness of your tap water and how often you use your
kettle.
nWe suggest use of a kettle descaler in order to dissolve the scale. Simply follow the
manufacturer’s guidelines on the packaging. Alternatively pour in enough white
vinegar to cover the bottom of the kettle by about 2cm. Bring the vinegar to the boil;
you may need to repeat this several times with cooled vinegar to remove the build-up
completely.
nWhen the kettle is descaled, empty the kettle and rinse out several times with clean
water. Take care not to inhale fumes.
