• Avoid steeping for too long, which can make tea taste bitter.
• If making iced tea, double the amount of tea leaves and steep a
little longer so when chilled the flavor does not get diluted.
• If your loose tea comes with brewing instructions, defer to those
initially for optimum amounts and steeping time.
HOW TO HEAT WATER WITHOUT MAKING TEA
Follow the directions for making tea with the infuser on p. 8 but leave
the infuser out of the kettle. Presets and Keep Warm function all work
the same; use hot water as desired.
SPECIAL FEATURES AND SAFETY FUNCTIONS
Coated Heating Surface
The bottom of the glass pot of the Electric has a special coating
to prevent mineral buildup.
Recent Selection Saving
You don’t have to reset the kettle every time you use it. After first use,
the default setting of your Electric will be the last setting you
programmed.
Mute Function
To silence all beeps, press and hold both the down arrow and the
Start/Stop button for 5 seconds. To turn sound back on, repeat the action.
Keep Warm Function
The Electric will automatically keep your water or tea hot for up
to 1 hour. During the Keep Warm mode, the unit’s indicator lights will
be solid green, and the words Keep Warm and a timer counting to 60
minutes will display. When Keep Warm time ends, the kettle will go into
Standby mode; the display will still be on and the indicator lights will be
white. After 3 minutes with no action, the unit will go into Sleep mode
with all lights off and the word SLEEP will display on the screen.
Memory Function
The Electric features an internal memory that lets you remove the
kettle from the base without the unit turning off. Instead, Heating or Keep
Warm (depending on which mode unit was in) will pause and the kettle
will continue heating or warming when it’s returned to its base. This is true
so long as the temperature has not dropped by more than 20°F during
the time the kettle was without power. If it has dropped by more than
that, the kettle will go into Standby mode.
Boil-Dry Protection
The Electric comes equipped with boil-dry protection. While
you should never heat the kettle without water at least to the MIN line,
should the unit go dry or start without water, it will automatically shut
off completely to avoid damaging the heating element. It will not come
back on, even if you replace it to the base, until it has cooled down. To
quickly cool it down, add cold water to the kettle.
