ESSENTIAL PRECAUTION
Never leave your Cuisinart
®
Classic Stainless Kettle on high heat. A low to medium heat setting is recommended. To boil water in your
kettle, a medium-high setting is sucient. Never set the burner on high. Never leave your Cuisinart
®
Classic Stainless Kettle or any kettle
empty over a hot burner. Doing so can ruin the kettle and cause damage to the stovetop.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Immediately after each use, ll the kettle with warm water and liquid dish detergent; let stand until lukewarm. Use a sponge or soft
cloth to clean the inside of tea kettle. Do not use steel wool or other metal pads that make coarse scratches. Rinse thoroughly and dry
immediately for a awless nish. Never wash your kettle in a dishwasher.
TO REMOVE STAINS
Calcium in your water may leave a multicolored stain. This is from a harmless deposit and can be removed with a little warm vinegar.
TO REMOVE BURNER STAINS
Stains on the outside bottom (not sides) of your kettle can be removed with an oven cleaner. Follow the manufacturer’s directions and
spray or brush the cleaner on only the outside bottom of the kettle. If the directions call for using the cleaner in a warm oven, heat the
kettle before applying the cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
CAUTION: Detergent fumes can be irritating. Carry out this procedure under a hood with an exhaust fan or in a well-ventilated room.
COOKING ON A GLASS STOVETOP
To avoid scratching a glass cooktop, do not slide the kettle on the glass surface. Please consult your glass cooktop manual for
information and recommendations on use.
USING OVER A GAS BURNER
When heating over a gas burner, make certain the ame touches only the kettle bottom. If the ame comes up the sides, energy is
wasted and the sides of the kettle may become permanently discolored.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Your Cuisinart
®
Classic Stainless Kettle has exceptionally high thermoconductivity, and even a low setting on some
gas burners will overheat. An inexpensive gas “ame-tamer” placed between the burner and the bottom of the kettle solves this
problem. Flame-tamers are readily available at most hardware stores.
BEFORE FIRST USE:
1. Remove any labels/hang tags. If your kettle has a max ll label (porcelain types), DO NOT remove it from the kettle.
2. Wash in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
• Fill the kettle only up to the MAX FILL mark. DO NOT OVERFILL.
• Kettle should be placed on a burner no larger than the bottom of the kettle.
• For whistling kettles, when you hear the whistle, turn o the burner, remove the kettle from the burner, and wait for approximately
20 seconds until the water ceases to boil. DO NOT POUR BOILING WATER. Always use a pot holder or mitt when pouring. Handles may
become hot, especially if other pots are being heated on the range.
• Do not attempt to pour from the kettle unless the lid is snapped closed/locked in place.
• Depending on where you live, some water may have excessive amounts of minerals in it. Periodically remove mineral deposits by boiling
water with 2 tablespoons of baking soda and the juice of half a lemon. Do not use steel wool or harsh abrasives to clean your kettle.
• Do not place an empty kettle on a hot burner.
• NEVER ALLOW YOUR KETTLE TO BOIL DRY. A kettle that has been boiled dry may be damaged and should not be used.
Electric burners may also be damaged when a kettle is boiled dry.
• Stainless steel kettles should be cleaned with a soft cloth. Stainless steel cleaners may be used on exterior surfaces.
• Those living in areas with high mineral content water may need to use a commercial lime removal product. Follow package directions.
• NEVER wash your kettle in a dishwasher.
