Traditional Cordless Electric

Kettle may quickly become one of the most 
useful and utilized appliances in your kitchen.
The kettle makes the simple and common
kitchen task of boiling water easier, faster and
more energy efficient. Water heats instantly and
comes to a boil very quickly — often faster than
on the stovetop. Once it reaches a boil, it shuts
itself off.

The most traditional use for a kettle is making
tea. Your Cuisinart

®

kettle will be a fast, easy and

convenient way to make your cup of tea. 

Whether using tea bags or loose tea, buy the
best you can. The flavor will be only as good as
the quality of the tea. Tea tastes best when made
in a ceramic pot or cup.

For best results, use your Traditional Cordless
Electric Kettle following the operating instructions
on page 5, as well as the following tips:

1. Fill kettle with fresh, cold water.

2. Place an infuser with loose tea or tea bag(s)

in your ceramic pot or cup.

3. Wait for kettle to click off, and immediately

pour the boiling water onto the tea.

4. The tea should be allowed to steep for 3 to 5

minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger it
is. For iced tea, brew tea double-strength 
(steep twice as long) and pour over ice.

5. Stir and serve as desired. 

With the Cordless Electric Kettle, you can make
all your favorite hot beverages ... and much
more!
