on by children or tripped over.  
SPECIAL CORD SET  
INSTRUCTIONS  
For your protection, this unit is equipped with  
a 3-conductor cord set that has a molded  
3-prong grounding-type plug, and should  
be used in combination with a properly  
connected grounding-type outlet as shown in  
Figure A.  
A short power-supply  
cord is provided  
to reduce the risks  
resulting from becoming  
entangled in or tripping  
over a longer cord.  
If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an  
adapter, shown in Figure B, may be obtained  
so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with  
a 3-prong plug. As shown in Figure C, the  
adapter must be grounded by attaching its  
grounding lug under the screw of the outlet  
cover plate.  
Longer extension  
cords are available and  
may be used if care is  
exercised in their use.  
If a long extension cord  
is used, the marked  
electrical rating of the  
extension cord must  
be at least as great  
as the electrical rating  
of the appliance. The  
extension cord should  
be a grounding-type  
3-wire cord, and the longer cord should be  
arranged so that it will not drape over the  
NOTE: Do not remove the grounding prong.  
CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must  
be determined that the outlet cover plate  
screw is properly grounded. If in doubt,  
consult a licensed electrician. Never use an  
adapter unless you are sure it is properly  
grounded.  
Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in  
Canada.

BRIEF HISTORY OF TEA  
FEATURES AND BENEFITS  
1. Easy Grip Lid with Stay-Cool Handle  
2. Stay-Cool, Soft-Grip Handle  
The origins of tea can be traced back nearly  
5,000 years to a legendary emperor of China,  
an herbalist. It is believed that leaves from  
twigs he was burning floated into a kettle of  
boiling water. Thus tea was born and soon  
flourished throughout southern Asia. As trade  
routes expanded, tea made its way to the  
West, and today is enjoyed around the world.

THE HEALTH BENEFITS  
OF TEA  
6. Water Window with Water Level  
Markings  
Many teas are brimming with healthful  
benefits like natural vitamins, minerals,  
and antioxidants. Drinking any tea rehydrates  
the body, and its antioxidants may offer  
protections against a wide range of diseases.  
A cup of tea can be a gentle start to the  
day, a soothing mid-afternoon break, or a  
comfortable way to unwind and relax each  
evening – it all adds up to a healthy mind,  
body, and spirit.

BEFORE USING FOR THE  
FIRST TIME  
CLEANING AND  
MAINTENANCE  
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.

dry. Dry all parts after each use.  
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.

agents of any kind on the interior or exterior  
of the kettle.  
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.  
r Never immerse kettle or power base in  
water.  
Maintenance: Any other servicing should  
be performed by an authorized service  
representative.  
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.  
DECALCIFICATION  
Decalcification refers to removing mineral  
deposits, which may form in the interior of the  
kettle and may result in discoloration.  
HELPFUL HINTS  
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.

without a sufficient water level, a boil-dry  
safety mechanism will automatically switch  
the kettle off.  
We suggest using a kettle descaler in order to  
dissolve these deposits or scale. Follow the  
directions on the descaler package.  
rꢀ5IFꢀMJEꢀTIPVMEꢀBMXBZTꢀCFꢀTFDVSFMZꢀJOꢀQMBDFꢀ  
while heating water.  
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.

Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190 or write  
to: Cuisinart, 7811 North Glen Harbor Blvd.Glendale,  
AZ 85307. To facilitate the speed and accuracy  
of your return, enclose $10.00 for shipping and  
handling. (California residents need only supply a  
proof of purchase and should call 1-800-726-0190  
for shipping instructions.) Please be sure to include  
your return address, description of the product’s  
defect, product serial number, and any other  
information pertinent to the return. Please pay by  
check or money order. NOTE: For added protection  
and secure handling of any Cuisinart® product  
that is being returned, we recommend you use a  
traceable, insured delivery service. Cuisinart cannot  
be held responsible for in-transit damage or for  
packages that are not delivered to us. Lost and/or  
damaged products are not covered under warranty.  
Your Cuisinart® Cordless Electric Kettle has been  
manufactured to the strictest specifications and has  
been designed for use only in 120 volt outlets and  
only with authorized accessories and replacement  
parts. This warranty expressly excludes any defects  
or damages caused by attempted use of this unit  
with a converter, as well as use with accessories,  
replacement parts or repair service other than those  
authorized by Cuisinart. This warranty does not  
cover any damage caused by accident, misuse,  
shipment or other than ordinary household use. This  
warranty excludes all incidental or consequential  
damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion  
or limitation of these damages, so these exclusions  
may not apply to you. You may also have other  
rights, which vary from state to state.  
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are  
a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® Cordless Electric  
Kettle that was purchased at retail for personal,  
family or household use. Except as otherwise  
required under applicable law, this warranty is not  
available to retailers or other commercial purchasers  
or owners. We warrant that your Cuisinart® Cordless  
Electric Kettle will be free of defects in materials and  
workmanship under normal home use for 3 years  
from the date of original purchase.  
We recommend that you visit our website,  
complete your product registration. However,  
product registration does not eliminate the need  
for the consumer to maintain the original proof of  
purchase in order to obtain the warranty benefits.  
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.  
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY  
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service,  
California residents have the option of returning a  
non conforming product (A) to the store where it  
was purchased or (B) to another retail store that  
sells Cuisinart® products of the same type. The  
retail store shall then, according to its preference,  
either repair the product, refer the consumer to an  
independent repair facility, replace the product,  
or refund the purchase price less the amount  
directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage  
of the product. If neither of the above two options  
results in the appropriate relief to the consumer,  
the consumer may then take the product to an  
independent repair facility, if service or repair can be  
economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the  
consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost  
of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for  
nonconforming products under warranty. California  
residents may also, according to their preference,  
return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart  
for repair or, if necessary, replacement by calling  
our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 800-726-  
0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the  
repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for  
such nonconforming products under warranty.  
Important: If the nonconforming product is to  
be serviced by someone other than Cuisinart’s  
Authorized Service Center, please remind the  
servicer to call our Consumer Service Center at  
1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the problem is  
properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with the  
correct parts, and to ensure that the product is still  
under warranty.
