PRECISION KETTLE SAFETY

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS Voltage: 120 VAC Frequency: 60 Hz Wattage: 1000 W NOTE: The Precision Kettle has a 3 prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in an outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

11. The Precision Kettle should only be used to heat water.

12. Do not use the Precision Kettle without lid properly closed.

13. Do not use the Precision Kettle with loose or weakened handle.

14. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.

15. Do not clean the Precision Kettle with abrasive cleaners, steel wool,

or other abrasive materials.

16. Do not overll the Precision Kettle.

17. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the heating cycle.

18. To disconnect, turn the control to “off,” then remove plug from wall outlet.

Visit kitchenaid.com/quickstart for additional instructions with videos and tips on how to use your Precision Kettle. Before first use Before using your Precision Kettle for the rst time, wash the kettle and all accessories, including the lid, with warm, soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry. Fill the Precision Kettle with water to the MAX ll line (see example below) and run one cycle at the maximum temperature. To avoid damage, do not fully immerse the Precision Kettle in water, and do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. NOTE: The entire Precision Kettle is hand wash only. To avoid damage, do not wash any part of the Precision Kettle, its accessories, or the base with power cord in a dishwasher.

Since 1919 Fill the Precision Kettle with water to the MAX ll line inside the Kettle. IMPORTANT: Be sure that the vent holes at the top of the kettle are clean and free of obstruction, or the Precision Kettle may overflow.

Place the base with power cord on a flat, sturdy surface and plug it into a 3 prong grounded outlet. W11030459A_ENv17.indd 6 4/17/18 11:50 AMENGLISH

Precision Kettle allows you to condently pour with precision. It features the industry-standard 1-liter capacity carafe. Select your desired brewing temperature customizable in 1-degree increments ranging from 140-212°F (60-100°C), with the option to hold for 30 minutes. A brew-range thermometer is displayed on the lid to keep track of your water temperature while you pour so you know you are within your preferred brewing range. NOTE: The Precision Kettle is designed for water only. Do not put any other liquids or substances in the Precision Kettle.

KitchenAid recommends that you experiment with temperature and brew/steep times to nd the perfect formula for your preferred cup of coffee or tea. For easy reference, the suggested temperature range for brewing coffee is shown in red on the built-in thermometer. This chart shows the boiling point of water at different altitudes. Please refer to this chart in order to adjust your temperature setting according to the elevation in your area.

Your Precision Kettle has three flow control settings. The flow control lever inside the kettle is used to change the settings.

Push the lever down for more restricted flow; pull the lever up for less restricted flow.

CHANGING THE FLOW CONTROL

NOTE: After heating water, be sure to empty the Precision Kettle and allow it to cool completely before changing any flow rate settings. TIP: The flow control lever is meant to come out for cleaning. If you pull up too far while changing the flow rate settings and the lever comes out, it can easily slide back into place. TIP: Prior to first use, fill the Precision Kettle with room-temperature water and pour at each flow control setting to become familiar with the different flow rates. CUSTOMIZING THE KETTLE LID TENSION AND FLOW CONTROL LEVER

If you feel the lid is too hard or too easy to remove, try adjusting the tension. Use a small tool, such as a small screwdriver, to adjust the three tabs on the kettle rim. Push in to create less tension; pull out to create more.

After adjusting tabs, put the lid back on the Precision Kettle to test the setting and see if your adjustment is satisfactory. Continue to adjust as needed. W11030459A_ENv17.indd 8 4/17/18 11:50 AMENGLISH

Remove lid from the Precision Kettle and fill with water.

Replace the lid and put the Precision Kettle back on the base. NOTE: Do not fill past the MAX fill line of 1 liter. IMPORTANT: There must be a minimum of 1 cup (.25 L) of water for the Precision Kettle to operate. If the water level drops below this point, the Add Water icon will light, and you will need to add water to the Kettle before continuing use.

If you feel the flow control is too easy or too hard to move, use your fingers to adjust the tab on the flow control lever. Push in to create less tension; pull out to create more.

Test the flow control to see if the tension is correct; continue to adjust if needed. W11030459A_ENv17.indd 9 4/17/18 11:50 AM10 | USING THE PRECISION KETTLE

Press the (Power) button to save temperature and to begin heating the water. The (Heating icon) will be displayed on the LCD screen to indicate that the Precision Kettle is heating.

While heating, the temperature that shows on the display screen is the actual water temperature, not the selected temperature.

When the Precision Kettle is first placed on the base, the display will show 212°F or 100°C*. After a few moments, the display will update to show the actual temperature of the water in the Precision Kettle.

Press the “-” or “+” buttons to select your desired water temperature between 140-212°F (60-100°C). For faster temperature adjustment, hold the “-” or “+” button down for 3 seconds, and the temperature readout will scroll faster. NOTE: The temperature can be displayed in Celsius (C) or Fahrenheit (F). To toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit, hold the “-” and “+” buttons down at the same time. Refer to the “Altitude boiling point reference guide” for information on the peak temperature setting for your altitude. NOTE: The button does not function when the Precision Kettle is off the base. *The Precision Kettle has a temperature memory feature for your last selected temperature (between 140-212°F [60-100°C]). This feature will determine the temperature that appears on the display after the first use. W11030459A_ENv17.indd 10 4/17/18 11:50 AMENGLISH

To activate the Hold Temp mode, press the (Hold Temp) button after your preferred temperature has been selected.

As long as the Precision Kettle is on the base, it will maintain the desired temperature for up to 30 minutes. To cancel Hold Temp before 30 minutes have passed, press the button, or press the Hold Temp button again, or remove kettle from the base.

USING THE HOLD TEMP MODE

NOTE: The Precision Kettle must be on the base in order to activate the Hold Temp feature. Once the Kettle is removed from the base, the Kettle will turn off. TIP: Hold Temp mode works for all temperatures within the range of 140-212°F (60-100°C). Altitude affects the Hold Temp mode; see the “Altitude boiling point reference guide” on page 7. Hold Temp is accurate within +/- 4°F (2°C).

Once the selected temperature has been reached, the heater will turn off, a chime will sound, and the

will turn off. IMPORTANT: Please see the “Altitude boiling point reference guide” for peak boiling temperature at your altitude. If using the Precision Kettle at higher altitudes, the Precision Kettle will boil continuously at a lower temperature until all the water has evaporated. If this happens, the Kettle will turn off. When using Hold Temp mode, please see the “Altitude boiling point reference guide” for peak boiling temperature at your altitude. If using the Precision Kettle at higher altitudes, the Precision Kettle will boil continuously at a lower temperature until it has evaporated. If this happens, the Kettle will turn off.
