Capresso PerfecTea 260 - Manual (Page 4)

WELCOME TO THE CAPRESSO PerfecTea CORDLESS GLASS KETTLE
The Capresso water kettle boils water faster, safer and more energy efficiently than a
stovetop kettle. Water heats quickly to the selected temperature and the heater shuts
itself off. The Capresso water kettle is easy to operate. The universal power base is ideal
for left or right hand use. The blue indicator lights add style and practicality. Whenever
the kettle shuts off, the blue indicator light turns off. With its high quality Schott glass
and its beautiful design this kettle fits well in every kitchen environment.
PLEASE DON'T!
• Never boil water while the lid is open. Water may splash out of the kettle. This can
cause severe injuries.
• Never try to remove the lid.
• When opening the lid, handle it gently and do not try to push it beyond its normal
resistance. The lid can be moved to a vertical position.
• Never fill kettle with anything but water.
• Do not add instant soups or any other soluble to the kettle.
• Do not use the kettle to thaw food of any kind.
• Do not use the kettle to make sauces or to melt cheese, butter or any other items.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Read all Important Safeguards and Operating Instructions before using this kettle.
Discard the first filling of boiling water to remove any dust and residues from the
manufacturing process.
OPERATING THE KETTLE
1. Remove kettle from base.
2. Open the lid until it stands vertically. DO NOT BEND LID FURTHER BACK!
3. Fill with the desired amount of fresh cold water. The kettle has minimum and
maximum markings. Never under fill or overfill the kettle.
CAUTION / DANGEROUS: Never fill above the MAX line. If you fill above the max
line, boiling water will push out of the pouring spout. This can cause severe injuries
and burns.

5. Place kettle on Power Base. The kettle will fit either with the handle pointing to the
right or to the left.

7. Dial the desired temperature setting and press and release the on/off button. The
heater is now on, the selected temperature light and the power light are steady on.
CAUTION: During heating do not touch the seam between the lid and the handle.
Hot steam makes this area hot.
8. When the water reaches the selected temperature, the heater and lights will turn off.
9. Lift kettle from base and pour water out slowly.
IMPORTANT: Before pouring boiling water, press the thumb tab (A) down, putting
the lid into a vertical position diverting hot steam away from the hand during pouring.
10. Replace kettle.
11. If you want to bring the remaining water to the desired temperature again, just push
the on/off button again. IMPORTANT: make sure the kettle is always filled to the MIN
marking. Always fill the kettle with water to cover the heater. If there is less water
heated, the heating dome (E) will discolor.
