is. For iced tea, brew tea double-strength
(steep twice as long) and pour over ice.

operate the kettle 2 or 3 times following the

Empty kettle after each use. Do not leave water
standing in the kettle.
Position kettle with spout facing away from you.

LIMITED THREE-YEAR
WARRANTY
This warranty supersedes all previous warranties
on the Cuisinart® Traditional Cordless Electric
Kettle.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
This warranty is available to consumers only.
You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart®
Traditional Cordless Electric Kettle that was
purchased at retail for personal, family or
household use. Except as otherwise required
under applicable state law, this warranty is
not available to retailers or other commercial
purchasers or owners.
We warrant that your Cuisinart® Traditional
Cordless Electric Kettle will be free of defects
in material or workmanship under normal home
use for three years from the date of original
purchase.
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.
Do not immerse the kettle or power base in
water or other liquid, and be sure that the
electric kettle socket is kept dry.
We suggest that you complete and return the
enclosed product registration card promptly
to facilitate verification of the date of original
purchase. However, return of the product
registration is not a condition of these
warranties.
If your Cuisinart® Traditional Cordless Electric
Kettle should prove to be defective within the
warranty period, we will repair it, or if we think
necessary, replace it. To obtain warranty service,
please call our Consumer Service Center toll-free
at 1-800-726-0190 or write to:
DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to removing the calcium
deposits which may form in the interior metal
parts of the kettle.
To get the best performance from your Cuisinart®
kettle, decalcify your unit from time to time.
Frequency depends on the hardness of your
tap water and how often you use the kettle.
We suggest use of a kettle descaler in order to
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 descaling process is
complete, empty the kettle and rinse out several
times with clean water.

CUISINART PRODUCT
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 to
ensure that the problem is properly diagnosed,
the product serviced with the correct parts, and
to ensure that the product is still under warranty.

CALIFORNIA
RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty
Service, California residents have the option of
returning a nonconforming product (A) to the

retail store which 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 either
of the above two options does not result in the
appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer

repair facility if service or repair can be
economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not

reasonable cost of such service, repair,
replacement, or refund for nonconforming
