BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME Before using your Cuisinart® Cordless Electric Kettle for the first time, we recommend rinsing the kettle with water to remove any dust or residue remaining from the manufacturing process. OPERATION 1. Remove the lid from the kettle and add as much fresh cold water as you need, watching the water level in the water window. To avoid boil-over, do not fill past 1.7L Max fill line. 2. Replace the lid. 3. Make sure the kettle is placed on the power base, then plug in the base. 4. Power the kettle on by pressing the On/Off switch down until a click is heard. When the water has boiled the kettle will automatically switch off. NOTE: The kettle can be switched off at any time by pushing the Power switch up. 5. Serve and enjoy. If you wish to bring water to a boil again, depress the power switch once more.

Maintenance: Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative. DECALCIFICATION Decalcification refers to removing mineral deposits, which may form in the interior of the kettle and may result in discoloration. To get the best performance from your kettle, decalcify it from time to time. Frequency will depend on the hardness of your water and how often you use the unit. We suggest using a kettle descaler in order to dissolve these deposits or scale. Follow the directions on the descaler package. Alternatively, fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about ½ inch. Heat the vinegar to a boil. Repeat this with cooled vinegar until all deposits are removed. When complete, empty the kettle and rinse with clean water. 5
