Cuisinart Cordless Electric Kettle DK-17 - Manual (Page 5)

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.

r Never immerse kettle or power base in
water.
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.
