INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Before using for the rst time, we
recommend operating the kettle
2 or 3 times. This will remove any
dust or residue remaining from its
manufacture. Fill to the MAX mark
level (1.5L GK15 / 1.7L GK19), bring
to the boil and when boiling has
nished and the kettle has switched
o, discard the water and rinse out
the inside.
Lift the lid by pulling up on the
handle on the top.
Fill the kettle with the required
amount of cold water. The water
gauge is on the side of the kettle and
is marked with MIN (0.2L GK15 / 0.5L
GK19) and MAX (1.5L GK15 / 1.7L GK19).
N.B. Take care not to exceed the MAX
mark as this may cause spitting or
leaking from the spout when boiling.
Push the lid to close it; you will feel
and hear a slight click.
Align the kettle over the power base
with the spout facing away from
you and gently lower it into position,
sitting it rmly on the power base.
Switch the kettle on by pressing
down the power switch at the rear
of the kettle.
The kettle will switch o
automatically when it has nished
boiling. However, the kettle can be
switched o at any time by simply
lifting the power switch.
Pour water out slowly and return
the kettle to the power base after
pouring. If you wish to re-boil the
water, you must press the power
switch again.
N.B. A couple of water droplets or
condensation may appear on the
power base, this is quite normal and
not a leak.
N.B. Do not open the lid of the
kettle or during the heating process
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 sucient
water level, a boil dry mechanism will
automatically switch the kettle o.
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 nish. Dry and
polish with a soft cloth.
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 the power base in water or
any other liquid. Ensure the electric
kettle socket is kept dry.

DESCALING
To limit scale build-up, we
recommend you use only ltered or
low-calcium water.
During use, lime deposits will form
on the inside of your Cuisinart Jug
Kettle. To get the best performance
from the 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.
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 kettle 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.
