RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
Once the temperature has been chosen, the heating cycle will begin automatically and
will stop once the selected temperature has been reached (accurate to +/- 6°F).
To stop the cycle once it is under way, press ON/OFF button.
KEEP WARM FUNCTION
Your kettle has a
KEEP WARM
function
(fig 10)
. Please select your desired temperature
before press the “Warm” button. The water will be heated to the selected temperature
and then kept at this temperature for 30 minutes.
The maximum permitted temperature for the Keep Warm function is 200°F.
NOTE
After 30 minutes, the power will cut off itself.
If you use the
TEMP
button to select a temperature lower than that of the water already
in the kettle, the function will not be activated and the cycle will not start.
Example: if the water is 195°F, you will not be able to start cycles for temperatures of
140°F - 155° F - 175°F - 185°F.
Recommended temperatures :
– 160°F (71°C) DELICATE
– 175°F (79°C) GREEN
– 185°F (85°C) WHITE
– 190°F (88°C) OOLONG
– 200°F (93°C) HERBAL
– 212°F (100°C) BLACK/BOIL
6. THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY
As soon as the water reaches boiling point or the chosen temperature.
Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the formation of scale.
Although all teas actually come from the same bush (camellia sinensis), their taste and type
vary according to their region of production, method of processing (different fermenting,
and drying processes and rolling techniques exist) and grade (whole or broken leaves,
fannings and dust).
– Green tea: Rolled dried leaves, which are chopped and lightly roasted to prevent them
from fermenting. Leave to brew for 3 minutes only. Green teas have a subtle flavour,
often bitter, and very pale in color.
– Black tea: Made from older leaves that are rolled, dried and fermented for a considerable
period. Brew for 5 minutes (or longer for Turkish or Russian tea). Gives a powerful taste
and a superb coppery color.
– Oolong tea: Midway between green and black tea. Slightly fermented. Brew for 7
minutes. Lighter in taste and paler than black colour.
Although purists drink tea plain, you may prefer to add cold milk to your cup before
pouring in the tea (with Indian or Ceylon tea), or add sugar and lemon (with green or
flavoured teas).
