PRECISION KETTLE SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.
3. To protect against re, electrical shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse
base, cord, plug, or the Precision Kettle in water or other liquids.
4. Use close supervision when using the Precision Kettle near or by children.
5. Unplug the Precision Kettle from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Voltage: 120 VAC
Frequency: 60 Hz
Wattage: 1000 W
NOTE: The Precision Kettle has a
3 prong grounded plug. To reduce the
risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit
in an outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit in the outlet, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not modify
the plug in any way.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an
outlet near the appliance.
A short power supply cord (or detachable
power supply cord) should be used to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. The Precision Kettle should only be used to heat water.
12. Do not use the Precision Kettle without lid properly closed.
13. Do not use the Precision Kettle with loose or weakened handle.
14. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
15. Do not clean the Precision Kettle with abrasive cleaners, steel wool,
or other abrasive materials.
16. Do not overll the Precision Kettle.
17. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the heating cycle.
18. To disconnect, turn the control to “off,” then remove plug from wall outlet.

BREW/STEEP TEMPERATURE SUGGESTIONS
The KitchenAid®Precision Kettle allows you to condently pour with precision. It features
the industry-standard 1-liter capacity carafe. Select your desired brewing temperature
customizable in 1-degree increments ranging from 140-212°F (60-100°C), with the option
to hold for 30 minutes. A brew-range thermometer is displayed on the lid to keep track
of your water temperature while you pour so you know you are within your preferred
brewing range.
NOTE: The Precision Kettle is designed for water only. Do not put any other liquids
or substances in the Precision Kettle.

Your Precision Kettle has three flow
control settings. The flow control
lever inside the kettle is used to
change the settings.
2Push the lever down for more
restricted flow; pull the lever up
for less restricted flow.
CHANGING THE FLOW CONTROL
NOTE: After heating water, be sure to empty the Precision Kettle and allow it to cool
completely before changing any flow rate settings.
TIP: The flow control lever is meant to come out for cleaning. If you pull up too
far while changing the flow rate settings and the lever comes out, it can easily slide
back into place.
TIP: Prior to first use, fill the Precision Kettle with room-temperature water and pour at
each flow control setting to become familiar with the different flow rates.
CUSTOMIZING THE KETTLE LID TENSION AND FLOW
CONTROL LEVER
1
If you feel the lid is too hard or too
easy to remove, try adjusting the
tension. Use a small tool, such as a
small screwdriver, to adjust the three
tabs on the kettle rim. Push in to
create less tension; pull out to create
more.
2
After adjusting tabs, put the lid back
on the Precision Kettle to test the
setting and see if your adjustment
is satisfactory. Continue to adjust
as needed.

FILLING THE PRECISION KETTLE WITH WATER
1Remove lid from the Precision Kettle
and fill with water. 2Replace the lid and put the Precision Kettle back on the base.
NOTE: Do not fill past the MAX fill line of
1 liter.
IMPORTANT: There must be a minimum
of 1 cup (.25 L) of water for the Precision
Kettle to operate. If the water level drops
below this point, the Add Water icon will
light, and you will need to add water to
the Kettle before continuing use.
3
If you feel the flow control is too easy
or too hard to move, use your fingers
to adjust the tab on the flow control
lever. Push in to create less tension;
pull out to create more.
4Test the flow control to see if the
tension is correct; continue to adjust
if needed.

HEATING WATER
3
Press the (Power) button to save
temperature and to begin heating
the water. The (Heating icon) will
be displayed on the LCD screen to
indicate that the Precision Kettle
is heating.
4
While heating, the temperature
that shows on the display screen
is the actual water temperature,
not the selected temperature.
1
When the Precision Kettle is first
placed on the base, the display will
show 212°F or 100°C*. After a few
moments, the display will update to
show the actual temperature of the
water in the Precision Kettle.
2
Press the “-” or “+” buttons to select
your desired water temperature
between 140-212°F (60-100°C).
For faster temperature adjustment,
hold the “-” or “+” button down
for 3 seconds, and the temperature
readout will scroll faster.
NOTE: The temperature can be displayed in Celsius (C) or Fahrenheit (F). To toggle
between Celsius and Fahrenheit, hold the “-” and “+” buttons down at the same
time. Refer to the “Altitude boiling point reference guide” for information on the peak
temperature setting for your altitude.
NOTE: The button does not function
when the Precision Kettle is off the base.
*The Precision Kettle has a temperature
memory feature for your last selected
temperature (between 140-212°F
[60-100°C]). This feature will determine
the temperature that appears on the
display after the first use.
