Hints & Tips; Cleaning & Maintenance - Cuisinart CTK17SE Gebrauchsanleitung

• Position the kettle on a flat sturdy surface with the spout facing away from you. Gently lift off the
lid, whilst holding the handle.
• Fill the kettle with the required amount of cold water. The water gauge is either side of the kettle
and is marked with min and max. Please take care not to exceed the max mark as this may cause
spitting from the spout when boiling.
• Position the kettle with the spout facing away from you. Replace lid on kettle.
• Align the kettle over the power base and gently lower it into position; it will find its own way and
sit firmly on the base.
• Switch the kettle on by pressing down the power 'On' switch at the rear of the kettle. You will hear
a slight click and the switch will illuminate with a blue LED.
• The kettle will switch off automatically when it has finished boiling. However, the kettle can be
switched off at any time by simply lifting the power 'On' switch in an upwardly direction. The LED
will switch off and the same click will be heard as switching on.
• Pour water out slowly. Return kettle to base after pouring. If you wish to re-boil the water, you
must press the power 'On' switch again.
N.B. A couple of water droplets or condensation may appear on the powerbase, this is quite
normal and not a leak.
N.B. Do not remove the lid of the kettle when pouring; escaping steam may scald.
• Once the kettle is re-located on the power base, it can be switched on again at any time. If the
switch will not stay down it means the control is still a little warm; this is normal and it will simply
re-set itself in a few seconds when cooled and will be ready to boil again.
N.B. If the kettle is accidentally switched on without a sufficient water level, a boil dry mechanism
will automatically switch the kettle off.
5. HINTS & TIPS
• Always use fresh, cold water each time you boil.
N.B. For your safety, always ensure the lid is on properly when the kettle is in use.
• If the kettle is accidentally switched on without a sufficient water level, a boil dry mechanism will
automatically switch the kettle off.
• For best results, empty the kettle after each use. Do not leave water standing in the kettle. This is
to help prevent build up of hard water limescale.
6. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
• Always unplug the appliance from the mains outlet before cleaning.
• Allow to cool before cleaning the appliance.
• 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.
• Clean the water filter with a soft, clean, damp cloth once a month or as necessary.
• 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.
