ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
Voltage:| 120 VAC
---|---
Frequency:| 60 Hz

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.
USING THE PRECISION KETTLE
PREPARING THE PRECISION KETTLE FOR USE
Before first use
Before using your Precision Kettle for the first time, wash the kettle and all
accessories, including the lid, in warm, soapy water, then rinse with clean
water and dry. Fill the Precision Kettle with water to the “Max” fill 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 a
power cord in a dishwasher.
Fill the Precision Kettle with water to the “Max” fill line inside the kettle.

BREW/STEEP TEMPERATURE SUGGESTIONS
The KitchenAid® Precision Kettle allows you to confidently pour with
precision.
It features the industry-standard 1-liter capacity carafe. The gooseneck spout
and three unique flow rate settings deliver precise and consistent pour
control for a pour-over, tea, or beverage of choice.
A brew-range thermometer is displayed in 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.
BEVERAGE| Coffee| Green Tea| White Tea| Oolong Tea|
Black Tea| Herbal Tea
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
| | | | | |
SUGGESTED TEMPERATURE (C°/F°)| 92-96°| 80°| 85°| 90°| 95°| 100°
196-205°| 176°| 185°| 194°| 203°| 212°
SUGGESTED BREW/
STEEP TIME (MINUTES)| 5-Mar| 3-Jan| 5-Mar| 5-Mar| 5-Apr| 7-May
The above suggestions are points of reference. KitchenAid recommends that you
experiment with temperature and brew/steep times to find 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.
ALTITUDE BOILING POINT REFERENCE GUIDE
This chart shows the boiling point of water at different altitudes. Please
refer to this chart when using the Precision Kettle and be aware of the
boiling point in your particular area.
BOILING POINT °C/°F
*Elevation is shown in feet above sea level.
CHANGING THE FLOW CONTROL
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.
| 
---|---
- Your Precision Kettle has 3 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.
NOTE: After heating water, be sure to empty the Precision Kettle and
allow it to cool completely before changing the 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.
FILLING THE PRECISION KETTLE WITH WATER
| 
---|---
- Remove the lid from the Precision Kettle and fill it with water.
- Replace the lid and put the Precision Kettle back on the base.
NOTE: There must be a minimum of 1 cup (.25 L) of water for the Precision Kettle to operate. Do not fill past the “Max” fill line of 1 quart (1 L).
OPERATING THE PRECISION KETTLE
| 
---|---
- When placed on the base, turn the Precision Kettle on by pressing the switch down. The LED indicator will light up.
- The Dry Boil Protection feature will turn the Precision Kettle off automatically once the water has reached the boiling point.

If using the Precision Kettle at higher altitudes, the Precision Kettle will boil continuously at a lower temperature until all the water has evaporated. The kettle will need to be manually turned off.
| 
---|--- - You may also manually turn off the Precision Kettle by flipping the switches up to the off position or by removing the Precision Kettle from the base.
NOTE: Unplug the Precision Kettle when not in use.
