ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart
®
Kettles on high heat. A low to medium heat
setting is recommended. To boil water in your kettle, a medium-
high setting is suffi cient. Never set the burner on high. Never
leave your Cuisinart
®
Kettle or any cookware empty over a hot
burner. You may ruin the kettle or pan if left empty over a hot
burner and may even cause damage to the stovetop.
BEFORE INITIAL USE
Wash kettle in warm water with a mild soap or dish detergent
before using for the fi rst time. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry
immediately with a soft dishtowel. Never wash your Cuisinart
®
Porcelain Enamel Teakettle in the dishwasher.
SERVING TIME
The sleek design and stylish colored enamel exterior of your
porcelain enamel teakettle makes it an elegant vessel for serving.
When serving, be sure to place the hot kettle on a heat-resistant
surface or trivet before placing on counter or table.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Immediately after each use, fi ll the kettle with warm water and
liquid dish detergent or baking soda, and let soak if needed. Use a
sponge or soft cloth to remove any remaining residue. Do not use
steel wool or other metal pads that make coarse scratches. Rinse
thoroughly and dry immediately for a fl awless fi nish.
USING OVER A GAS BURNER
When using a gas stovetop, make sure the fl ame is concentrated
and touches only the kettle bottom. If the fl ame comes up the
sides of the kettle, energy is wasted and there is a risk that the
sides of the kettle may become permanently discolored.
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove any labels/hang tags. If your kettle has a max fi ll
label (porcelain types) DO NOT remove it from the kettle.
2. Wash in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
3. Fill the kettle only up to the MAX FILL mark. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
4. Kettle should be placed on a burner no larger than the
bottom of the kettle.
5. For whistling kettles, when you hear the whistle, turn off
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.
6. Do not attempt to pour from the kettle unless the lid is
snapped closed/locked in place.
7. Depending upon where you live, your 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.
8. Do not place an empty kettle on a hot burner.
9. 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.
10. Stainless steel kettles should be cleaned with a soft cloth.
Stainless steel cleaners may be used on the exterior
surfaces.
11. Those living in areas with high mineral content water may
need to use a commercial lime removal product. Follow
package directions.
12. NEVER wash your kettle in a dishwasher.
