Hints & Tips

n Always use fresh, cold water each time you boil.

n As soon as the kettle boils, pour the water into your ceramic pot or cup

directly onto tea. The tea should be allowed to steep for 3 to 5 minutes.

The longer it steeps the stronger it is. For iced tea, brew tea double-

strength (steep twice as long) and pour over ice. Stir and serve.

N.B. For your safety, always ensure the lid is on properly when the kettle

is in use.

n Empty the kettle after each use. Do not leave water standing in the

kettle.

Cleaning & Maintenance

n Always unplug the appliance from the mains outlet before cleaning.

n Allow to cool before cleaning the appliance.

n 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.

n Clean the water ﬁlter with a soft, clean, damp cloth once a month or as

necessary.

n Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring agents of any kind on the

interior or exterior of the kettle.

Warning! Do not immerse the kettle or power base in water or other

liquid. Ensure the electric kettle socket is kept dry.

n To get the best performance from your Cuisinart Stainless Steel

Traditional Kettle, we recommend descaling it from time to time.

Frequency depends on the hardness of your tap water and how often

you use your kettle.

n We suggest use of a kettle descaler in order to dissolve the scale. Simply

follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on the packaging. Alternatively

pour in enough white vinegar to cover the bottom of the jug by about

2cm. Bring the vinegar to the boil; you may need to repeat this several

times with cooled vinegar to remove the build-up completely. When

the kettle is descaled, empty the kettle and rinse out several times with

clean water. Take care not to inhale fumes.
