precautions should always be taken, including the  
following:

SPECIAL CORD SET  
INSTRUCTIONS:  
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles  
and knobs.  
3. To protect against fire, electric shock and  
injury to persons DO NOT IMMERSE  
CORD, PLUG OR BASE UNIT in water  
or other liquids.  
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce  
the risks of becoming entangled in or tripping  
over a longer cord.  
Longer extension cords are available and may be  
used if care is exercised.  
4. Close supervision is necessary when any  
appliance is used by or near children.  
If a long extension cord is used, the marked  
electrical rating of the extension cord should be  
at least as great as the electrical rating of the  
appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so  
that it will not drape over the countertop or table-  
top where it can be pulled on by children or  
tripped over.  
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before  
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or  
taking off parts, and before cleaning appliance.  
6. Do not operate any appliance with a  
damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance  
malfunctions or has been damaged in any  
manner. Return appliance to the nearest

OPERATING  
INSTRUCTIONS  
BEFORE USING FOR THE  
FIRST TIME  
Before using your Cuisinart Cordless Automatic  
Electric Kettle for the first time, you should  
operate the kettle 2 or 3 times following the  
instructions below. This will remove any dust  
or residues remaining from the manufacturing  
process.  
5. Power “ON”.  
Depress the power “ON” switch by gently  
pushing down 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  
depress the power “ON” button again.  
BOILING WATER  
1. Remove the Lid.  
Place the kettle with the spout facing away from  
you. Gently lift off the lid.  
HELPFUL HINTS  
Always use fresh, cold water for each boiling.  
2. Fill the Kettle.  
Fill the kettle with as much fresh, cold water as you  
will need. The maximum water level is indicated  
inside the kettle and is marked by the word “MAX”.  
The maximum amount of water to be used is  
indicated by the “MAX FILL” level in figure 2 below.  
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.  
3. Close the Lid.  
Position kettle with spout facing away from you.  
Replace lid on kettle.  
NOTE: For your safety, it is recommended that the  
lid be placed securely on the kettle whenever kettle  
is in use.

CLEANING AND  
MAINTENANCE  
We suggest that you complete and return the  
enclosed warranty registration card promptly.  
However, return of the card is not a condition  
of this warranty and does not eliminate the need  
for the consumer to maintain the original  
receipt of purchase.  
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.

To get the best performance from your Cuisinart

Please pay by check or money order.  
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 1/2".  
Bring the vinegar to a boil. You may need to repeat  
this several times with cooled vinegar to remove  
the calcium buildup completely. When the  
This warranty does not cover any damage caused  
by accident, misuse, shipment or other than

This warranty excludes all incidental or  
consequential damages. Some states do not allow
