• This kettle has a 3-prong grounding plug. Always plug into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.
• This kettle uses a short power-supply cord to reduce the risk of entangling or tripping. Use extension cords with care.
• Any extension cord must also be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The marked electrical rating of an extension cord should be at least as high as the rating of the kettle (see page 3).

BEFORE FIRST USE

Water Test

Perform the Water Test before using your kettle to make sure it’s working properly. Do not drink the water that is boiled during this test.

1. Remove all packaging from your kettle and its accessories.
2. Completely unravel the power cable and place the power base on a flat, level, stable surface.
3. Fill the kettle with water to the “MAX” line (Figure 1.0), then put the lid on the kettle. Press firmly to make sure the lid fits securely.
4. Press (“ON / OFF”). Then press 212°F (“BOIL BLACK”).
5. The kettle will automatically turn off once it has finished boiling the water. Allow it to cool, then pour out the water. Rinse thoroughly 2–3 times with cold water.

Boiling Water

Note:

• Use filtered water for perfect pour-over brewing.
• If you start the kettle without water in it, the kettle will turn off, and the controls will be disabled. See Boil-Dry Protection (page 11).

1. Add at least ½ cup / 118 mL of filtered water to the kettle. Do not fill above the “MAX” line. Wipe any water from the outside of the kettle and the base.
2. Put the lid on the kettle and make sure it fits securely. Place the kettle on the power base.
3. Plug in the cord. The button lights will blink, and the base will beep once.
4. Press (“ON / OFF”). The button will light up. Note: The kettle will turn off after 1 minute of inactivity.
5. Press a preset temperature button. The button will light up, and the kettle will start heating the water.
6. Note: You can only select 1 preset at a time.
7. If you take the kettle off the base while heating, all buttons will turn off, and the kettle will pause heating. If you put the kettle back within 60 seconds, it will resume heating. After 60 seconds, the kettle will turn off.
8. Optionally, press (“HOLD TEMP”) any time before the kettle is finished heating. This will activate Hold Temperature Mode, which automatically maintains the kettle’s temperature for 60 minutes after heating is complete. The button will stay lit during that time.

Note: If you take the kettle off the base during Hold Temperature Mode, the (“HOLD TEMP”) button will blink. After 60 seconds, the kettle will turn off. When the water is at the preset temperature, the kettle will beep 3 times and stop heating.

Making Pour-Over Coffee

You’ll need a pour-over coffee maker, such as Cosori’s Original 8-Cup Pour-Over Coffee Maker.

• Place the coffee maker filter into the decanter.
• Add ground coffee to the filter according to your preference.
• Heat water using the gooseneck kettle.
• Use the gooseneck kettle to gently pour water over the coffee grounds using a slow spiral motion. Pour just enough water to saturate the grounds.
• Note: This spiral motion is to create “turbulence” in the coffee grounds, allowing the particles in the coffee to separate and release flavor.
• The water will cause the grounds to puff up, which is called “blooming”. Some roasts will bloom more than others.
• Wait 30–45 seconds.
• Use the gooseneck kettle to pour water over the coffee grounds again, using a slow spiral motion. If water reaches the top of the filter, stop and let it settle to the halfway point, then begin pouring again until you have the desired amount of coffee.
• When finished, remove the filter and enjoy!

High Altitude Users

At higher elevations, water boils at a lower temperature. You may need to use a different preset.

Kettle Sounds

The kettle will alert you by beeping 3 times when the water reaches the preset temperature. The kettle will also beep once when plugged in. To turn the kettle sound off, press and hold (“HOLD TEMP”) for 8 seconds.

Adjusting Lid Tightness

If you feel the kettle lid fits too loosely or is too hard to take off, you can adjust the tightness of the lid.

• Take off the lid.
• Use a tool to adjust the 3 tabs on the kettle lid (Figure 2.1–2.2).
• If you push the tabs in, the lid will fit more loosely and will be easier to put on and take off.
• If you pull the tabs out, the lid will fit more tightly and will not come off as easily.
• After adjusting the tabs, put the lid back on and take it off again to see if the fit is correct. If not, adjust the tabs again until the lid fits the way you prefer.

Boil-Dry Protection

Your kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection. If there is less than ½ cup / 118 mL of water in the kettle, the heat will automatically shut off. Allow the kettle to cool and add more water before using it again. If all buttons blink and the kettle beeps, then unplug the power cord to reset the kettle before turning it on again.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

1. Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool before cleaning.
2. Wipe the kettle and base with a soft, damp cloth. Make sure that the electric socket on the underside of the kettle is kept dry.
3. Dry all parts after every use.

Note: Never immerse the kettle or power base in water.

Descaling the Kettle

You should descale the kettle at least once a week if you use it frequently. Descaling removes any mineral deposits that have built up inside the kettle. Always descale the kettle before and after storing for long periods of time.

1. Unplug the kettle and pour out all the water. Make sure the kettle is cool.
2. Squeeze half a lemon into the kettle, or add ½ US cup / 118 mL of distilled vinegar into the kettle.
3. If the kettle has thick scale buildup, scrub the kettle’s inner walls with a non-scratch scrub sponge. Note: Do not use steel wool, as this can scratch the kettle.
4. Add 2 US cups / 473 mL of water. Boil the mixture.
5. Pour out the mixture, then wipe off any remaining scale with a non-abrasive cloth, sponge, or cleaning brush.
6. Repeat as needed.

Note: For quick descaling, add 3 US tbsp / 44 mL of baking soda to ½ US cup / 118 mL of vinegar into the kettle. Swirl the mixture around until it coats the walls of the kettle, wipe with a non-scratch sponge, and pour the mixture out. This method will only work for a thin layer of scale.
