This kettle has a removable screen inside to pre-
vent particles of mineral build up from entering
your cup. The screen slides out for easy rinsing
in the sink.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
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.
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.
