BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME Before using your Cuisinart® Digital Gooseneck Kettle for the first time, we recommend rinsing the kettle with water to remove any dust or residue remaining from the manufacturing process. OPERATION/HEATING 1. Lift kettle of the base and remove the lid. 2. Add fresh, cold water to fill the kettle. Do not fill past 1.0L mark - overfilling could cause water to boil over. 3. Place the lid back on the kettle by lining up the arrows and press down until it locks shut. N OTE: be sure that the arrow on the lid is lined up with the arrow on the handle before heating water. 4. Place the kettle back onto the power base and plug in the unit. NOTE: The red ON/OFF indicator light will appear. 5. Touch and hold the ON/OFF button for 1 second to power the unit on. The Keep Warm and Temperature Selection buttons will illuminate and the LCD will display the preset temperature. N OTE: During the heating process, it will display the current water temperature and the setting temperature alternately. 6. Use the Temperature Selector + or button to scroll through until desired temperature is displayed on the LCD. N OTE: Each time the Temperature Selector + or - is pressed, the temperature will increase in 5-degree increments. N OTE: Keep Warm will be selected by default unless you deselect it by tapping the indicator once. 7. The heating process will begin after 5 seconds. The ON/OFF indicator will blink and the LCD will display the real-time temperature and preset temperature alternately. N OTE: To turn kettle off at any time, simply press the ON/OFF button again. The last selected settings will remain in the kettle's memory until the unit is unplugged. 8. Once your kettle has reached the selected temperature, the unit will beep. The Keep Warm, + and - button lights will stay on, the ON/OFF lights will blink, and LCD display preset temperature (same as current temperature) will be maintained for 30 minutes. 9. Lift the kettle off the base to pour water. All lights will turn off while the kettle is off the base, and LCD will display "---" and blink. 10. R eturn kettle to the base. Indicator lights will go back on and the Keep Warm cycle will pick up right where it left off. MEMORY FEATURE The kettle features an internal "memory" that lets you leave the kettle off the base for up to 2 minutes without it going into standby mode. When returned to the base, it will restart the heating and/or Keep Warm cycles right where they left off. NOTE: If kettle goes into standby mode before it's returned to base, simply reselect your temperature and press and hold ON/OFF to restart. KEEP WARM MODE Keep Warm is the kettle's default function that automatically maintains selected temperature for 30 minutes. If you have selected the Boil, your unit will hold a temperature just below boiling during the Keep Warm cycle. To bring water back to a rolling boil, press OFF then press & hold ON/OFF to reboil. Keep Warm can be turned off by pressing the Keep Warm button at any time before or during the heating cycle. The selected temperature will remain on the LCD until water temperature has dropped below the selected temperature. 6
