tap while brushing it with a soft brush. Replace it in  
the kettle.  
CLEANING AND  
MAINT ENANCE  
CAUT ION: Always disconnect the kettle from  
electrical outlet before cleaning.  
To Refit the Filter  
Holding the filter by the finger tab, angle it in  
towards the bottom of the back of the spout area.  
Its shape will conform to the wall shape. When it is  
nested on the bottom of the kettle floor, press the  
finger tab forward, snapping it into place in front of  
the spout opening.  
Before cleaning, be sure the kettle is cold.  
Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a clean,  
damp cloth to preserve its original highly polished  
finish. Dry and polish with a soft cloth.  
T he Anti-Scale Filter will reduce, but not entirely  
eliminate the calcium build-up on the kettles inte-  
rior surfaces. Cuisinart, therefore, recommends that  
you decalcify your unit from time to time. Please  
refer to the decalcification instructions that follow.  
Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring agents of  
any kind inside or on the exterior of the kettle.  
Do not immerse the kettle or power base in  
water or other liquid, and be sure that the  
electrical kettle socket is kept dry.  
DECALCIFICAT ION  
Decalcification refers to removing the calcium  
deposits which may form in the interior metal  
parts of the kettle.  
For best performance of your Cuisinart® kettle,  
decalcify your unit from time to time.  
Frequency depends on the hardness of your tap  
water and how often you use the kettle.  
ANT I-SCALE  
WAT ER FILT ER  
Scale is mainly calcium carbonate (chalk), a harm-  
less, naturally occuring mineral found in most  
water supplies. ‘Hard’ water contains more of this  
than soft’ water.  
When water is heated, the minerals solidify. T his  
can make water appear cloudy; it may form a thin  
film on the surface of the water after boiling; it may  
also look like whitish pieces of plastic in the water;  
it may also form a film on the walls of the kettle.  
We suggest use of a kettle descaler in order to  
dissolve these chalky 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  
1/2"(1.3cm). Bring the vinegar to a boil. You may  
need to repeat this several times with cooled  
vinegar to remove the calcium build-up completely.  
When the descaling process is complete, empty the  
kettle and rinse out several times with clean water.  
T he scale particles which remain suspended in the  
water may give it a cloudy or greasy appearance,  
depending on the hardness of the water. T he per-  
manent filter fitted to your kettle will prevent these  
particles from being poured out of your kettle.You  
must ensure that the filter is kept clean and clear of  
deposits, otherwise the performance of your kettle  
may be adversely affected, your drinks may contain  
scale particles, and the water inside the kettle may  
look cloudy. T he filter should be cleaned when  
there are any noticeable deposits left on the filter  
and especially if pouring is affected in any way.
