Cleaning And Care - Cuisinart GK-1 Series Instruction And Recipe Booklet

SLEEP MODE
If the unit is not in use for 5 minutes, it
will revert to sleep mode. The heater and all
lights will be off except ON /OFF--POWER
stays lit.. To turn the kettle back on, press
and hold ON/OFF button again.
BOIL-DRY PROTECTION
Your kettle is equipped with boil-dry
protection. If it starts heating without
enough water in the unit, the heater will
automatically shut off to avoid damaging
the heating element. The lights will flash
and the unit will beep to alert you. Once the
kettle has cooled down, lift it off the base,
then replace it to reset and restart the
heating cycle.
The quickest way to cool down the heater
is to fill the kettle with cold water; however,
you can also wait for it to cool down
by itself.

CLEANING AND CARE

Unplug your kettle and allow it to cool
before cleaning.
Wipe the kettle and base of unit with
a soft, damp cloth. Be sure that the electric
kettle socket is kept dry. Dry all parts after
every use.
Never immerse kettle or power base
in water.
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
Cuisinart Digital Gooseneck Kettle,
®
decalcify your unit from time to time.
Frequency will depend on the hardness of
your tap water and how often you use your
kettle.
We suggest using a commercial kettle
descaler in order to dissolve these 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 ½ inch. Heat the
vinegar to a boil. Repeat this with cooled
vinegar until all deposits are removed.
When the descaling process is complete,
empty the kettle and rinse out several times
with clean water.
MAINTENANCE
Any other servicing should be performed
by an authorized service representative.
