SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of fire or electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK)

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE

REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY

To reduce the risk of injury, do not drape cord over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks

resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

For your protection, this unit is equipped with a 3-conductor cord set that has a molded 3-prong, grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a properly

connected grounding-type outlet as shown in Figure A.

If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in Figure B, may be obtained so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with a 3-prong plug. As shown in Figure C, the adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate.

NOTE: Do not remove the grounding prong.

CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.

NOTE: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before using your Cuisinart® ViewPro™ 1.7 L Cordless Electric Kettle for the first time, we recommend RINSING THE KETTLE WITH THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF FRESH WATER IT ALLOWS. BOIL FRESH WATER INSIDE THE KETTLE TWO TO THREE TIMES AND DISCARD THE BOILED WATER BEFORE NORMAL USE.

OPERATION

1. Put the appliance on a heat-resistant flat surface.
2. Lift the lid lever upward to open the lid.
3. Fill the kettle with the desired quantity of cold water between the Min. and Max. levels.
4. The kettle is equipped with a borosilicate glass body. It is important to avoid thermal shocks. Do not use iced water, especially if your glass kettle is still warm.
5. Close the lid until it locks.
6. Ensure the cable has been connected and the ON/OFF switch is at the OFF position.

7. Press the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The power indicator will then be illuminated.

8. Water temperature will continue to rise until boiling occurs. The switch will then automatically go into the OFF position.

9. If the water has cooled and you need boiling water again, simply switch the kettle on.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Always use fresh water in the kettle.
- If the kettle is accidentally switched on without a sufficient amount of water, a boil-dry safety mechanism will automatically switch the kettle off.
- The lid should always be securely in place while heating water.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• The kettle should always be emptied before cleaning and storage.
• It is extremely important to remember that cleaning of the kettle can only be performed when the plug has been removed from the power supply.
• Cleaning should be performed only when the kettle has cooled down.
• Always ensure the electrical connections of the kettle remain absolutely dry.
• Ensure the outside and the electrical connections of the kettle are completely dry before using.
• Wipe the kettle and base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use cleaning products that can cause health hazard or discoloration of the kettle.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring agents of any kind on the interior or exterior of the kettle.
• Never immerse any part of the kettle, especially the cable and base, into water.

Filter can be cleaned with warm soapy water or placed in dishwasher, top rack only.

MAINTENANCE: Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

DECALCIFICATION

Decalcification refers to removing mineral deposits, which may form in the interior of the kettle and may result in discoloration.

To get the best performance from your kettle, decalcify your unit from time to time. Frequency will depend on the hardness of your tap water and how often you use your kettle.

We suggest using a kettle descaler in order to dissolve these deposits or scale. Follow the directions on the descaler package.

If a commercial descaler is not available, fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about 12 inch (1.25 cm). Heat the vinegar to a boil. Repeat this with cooled vinegar until all deposits are removed. When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse out several times with clean water.

WARRANTY Limited Three-Year Warranty

This warranty is available only to U.S. consumers who purchase products directly from Cuisinart or an authorized Cuisinart ^® reseller. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart ^® ViewPro ^™ 1.7 L Cordless Electric Kettle that was purchased at retail for personal, family or household use. Except as otherwise required under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners or consumers who purchase from unauthorized Cuisinart ^® resellers. We warrant that your Cuisinart ^® ViewPro ^™ 1.7 L Cordless Electric Kettle will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use for 3 years from the date of original purchase. We recommend that you visit our website, https://cuisinart.registria.com, for a fast, efficient way to complete your product registration. However, product registration does not eliminate the need for the consumer to maintain the original proof of purchase in order to obtain the warranty benefits. In the event that you do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY

California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells Cuisinart products of the same type. The retail store shall then, according to its preference, either repair the product, refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer's prior usage of the product. If neither of the above two options results in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility, if service or repair can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products under warranty. California residents may also, according to their preference, return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair or, if necessary, replacement by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for such nonconforming products under warranty.

Your Cuisinart ^® ViewPro ^™ 1.7 L Cordless Electric Kettle has been manufactured to the strictest specifications and has been designed for use only in 120-volt outlets and only with authorized accessories and replacement parts. This warranty expressly excludes any defects or damages caused by attempted use of this unit with a converter, as well as use with accessories, replacement parts or repair service other than those authorized by Cuisinart. This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse, shipment or other than ordinary household use. This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so these exclusions may not apply to you. You may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.

Important: If the nonconforming product is to be serviced by someone other than Cuisinart's Authorized Service Center, please remind the servicer to call our Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the problem is properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with the correct parts, and the product is still under warranty.
