Cuisinart TEA-100 User Manual

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.

A short power supply cord is provided to 

reduce the risks resulting from becoming 

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords are available and may be 

used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked 

electrical rating of the extension cord should 

be at least as great as the electrical rating of 

the appliance. 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 animals, or tripped over. 

This appliance has a polarized plug (one 

blade is wider than the other). To reduce the 

risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a 

polarized outlet only one way. If the plug 

does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the 

plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified 

electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

 surface.

3.  Turn the box on its side and slide the  

 

  unit from the box.

4.  The base is located on the outside of the   

  pulp molded insert. Remove the base and  

  then pull the inserts away from the kettle.

5.  Remove polybags from the unit. 
6.  Before using for the first time, we

  assembly with water.

We suggest you save all packing materials 

in the event that future shipping of the 

machine is needed. Keep all plastic bags 

away from children.
