QT Kettle
Before using your kettle.
It is recommended that you clean your kettle
before using it by filling the kettle with water to
the maximum level indicator, boiling the water
and discarding.
Important:
Do not fill the kettle over the maximum
level, as water may spill out of the spout when
boiling.
1. To fill the kettle, remove it from the power base
and lift the lid, by pressing the button
at the top of the handle.
2. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water.
Always fill the kettle between the minimum and
maximum marks. Do not fill the kettle below
the ‘min’ indication because too little water
may result in the kettle switching off before
the water has boiled because of the boil dry
protection safety feature.
3. Push the lid closed firmly until it locks into
position.
4. Place the kettle onto the power base. Plug
the power cord into a 230-240 Volt AC power
outlet and switch the power on.
Note:
If the kettle is not positioned on top of the
power base correctly the LCD panel will show
“--:--°C“ and Current Temp before going into sleep
mode.

Tip:
The Café Series
®
QT Kettle has five optimum
tea temperatures you can select from: 80°C,
85°C, 90°C, 95°C and 100°C (Just Boil). Refer to
the ‘Tea Brewing Styles and Tips’ table on page 8
for the ideal water temperature for your tea.
Note:
The temperature settings are a guide only
and may vary depending on personal preference.
1. All the buttons are one touch buttons. Select
the temperature you require by pressing the
specified button and the heating cycle will
activate immediately. The temperature button
you have selected will light up and all the other
buttons will not be illuminated.
If nothing has been selected after 30 seconds
the buttons will cease to be illuminated. After 10
minutes of nothing being selected the LCD screen
will go into sleep mode.
Note:
During sleep mode the kettle consumes less
than 0.5W.
2. When the heating cycle is initiated, the LCD
display will show the estimated amount of
time required to reach the selected water
temperature. The Time to Boil feature shown
on the LCD display will count down until the
selected temperature is reached at which
point the kettle will beep. The kettle will
automatically turn off once temperature has
been reached.
3. During the heating cycle the LCD panel will
display the increasing temperature and the
number of minutes and seconds remaining until
the selected temperature is reached
4. The kettle will beep once when the selected
water temperature has been reached.
Note:
To cancel the heating process at any time
during the boiling cycle, simply press the selected
temperature button once or remove the vessel
from the base.
Note:
If the kettle is removed from the power
base during the heating process, the kettle will
automatically reset, cancelling the heating cycle.
40° / Sterilise feature
1. To select the 40°C feature press the button
once. The water is heated to 40°C.
Note:
The ESTIMATED TIME to boil will not
be shown when 40°C is selected because it is
dependent on how much water is in the kettle
Note:
To ensure the water temperature does not
exceed 40°C the heating process is purposely
intermittent and therefore it could take a few
minutes to get to this temperature
2. To select the Sterilise feature press and hold
the button for 1 second. The sterilisation
feature heats the water to 100°C and maintains
a rolling boil for 5 minutes. When the
sterilisation feature is activated the LCD screen
will display ‘STERILISE CYCLE’.
