SAFEGUARDS  
FOR HOUSEHOLD  
USE ONLY  
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety  
precautions should always be taken, including the  
following:  
SAVE THESE  
INSTRUCTIONS  
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.  
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles  
and knobs.  
SPECIAL CORD SET  
INSTRUCTIONS:  
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.  
4. Close supervision is necessary when any  
appliance is used by or near children.  
Longer extension cords are available and may be  
used if care is exercised.  
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.  
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  
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or  
tripped over.  
6. Do not operate any appliance with a  
damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance  
has malfunctioned or has been damaged in  
any manner. Return appliance to the nearest  
Cuisinart Authorized Service Facility for  
examination, repair or adjustment.  
NOTICE:  
7. The use of accessory attachments not  
recommended by Cuisinart may result in fire,  
electric shock or injury to persons.  
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is  
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric  
shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only  
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,  
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a  
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this  
safety feature.  
8. Do not use outdoors.  
9. Do not let power cord hang over edge of table  
or counter, or touch hot surfaces.  
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric  
burner, or in a heated oven.  
11. Always attach the plug to the appliance first,  
then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect,  
push switch to “OFF”, then remove plug from  
wall outlet.  
12. Do not use appliance for other than  
intended use.  
13. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during  
the brewing cycle.

Whether using tea bags or loose tea, buy the best  
you can. The flavor will only be as good as the  
quality of the tea. Tea tastes best when steeped in  
a ceramic pot or cup.

INSTRUCTIONS  
BEFORE USING FOR THE  
FIRST TIME  
Before using your Cuisinart Cordless Electric Jug  
Kettle for the first time, we recommend operating  
the kettle 2 or 3 times, following the instructions  
below. This will remove any dust or residue  
remaining from the manufacturing process.  
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  
lift the power “ON” button again.  
BOILING WATER  
1. Open the Lid.  
Push the release button on the handle and the lid  
opens. (See Fig. 1.)  
HELPFUL HINTS  
Always use fresh, cold water for each boiling.  
If the kettle is accidentally switched “ON” without  
a sufficient water level, a boil-dry mechanism will  
automatically switch the kettle “OFF”.  
2. Fill the Kettle.  
Fill the kettle with as much fresh, cold water as you  
will need. The maximum water level is indicated  
near the handle and is marked by the word “MAX”.  
(See Fig. 2.)  
Empty kettle after each use. Do not leave water  
standing in the kettle.  
NOTE: For your safety, it is recommended that the  
lid be closed on the kettle whenever kettle is in use.  
3. Close the Lid.  
Position kettle with spout facing away from you.  
Press gently toward you to close.  
4. Place Kettle on Power Base  
Place the kettle on the power base so the element  
on the bottom of the kettle sits securely on the  
power base.

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 proof of  
purchase. In the event that you do not have proof  
of purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of  
this warranty will be the date of manufacture.  
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.

Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring agents of  
any kind on the interior or exterior of the kettle.

to be defective within the warranty period, we will  
repair it, or replace if necessary, without charge to  
you except for a shipping and handling charge.

water or other liquid, and be sure that the  
electric kettle socket is kept dry.

parts of the kettle.

To obtain warranty service, please call toll-free  
1-800-726-0190 or write to Cuisinart, 150 Milford

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
