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
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 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.
be sure the unit is plugged in and the kettle is securely on the power
base. Then press your preset temperature selection and press Start.
be sure to press Start after pressing your temperature selection.
If you are pressing Start and kettle is still not heating, call Cuisinart
Customer Service.
If the kettle is off the base for more than 2 minutes, the internal
memory turns off. Simply put it back on the base, reselect your
settings and press Start.
The Keep Warm function is the default setting; the lED light
indicates whether it is on or off.
The water level in the kettle is too low for heating. To avoid
damaging the heating element, remove the kettle from base,
add water, return it to the base and press Start again.
Change your selection at any time by simply pressing another
preset. When flashing light stays lit, the selected temperature
has been reached.
Several variables can affect heat-up time, including room tempera-
ture, how much water is in the kettle, and the temperature of the
water. If you've recently heated water to a higher temperature than
your current selection, the kettle will appear to be heating, but is
actually waiting for water to cool down. add cold water to speed
the process.
