BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Read all Important Safeguards and Operating Instructions before using
this kettle. Discard the first filling of boiling water to remove any dust
and residues from the manufacturing process.
1. TO BOIL WATER (default setting)
• Remove kettle from base.
• Push the button on the lid (Fig. 1). The lid opens itself.
• Fill with the desired amount of fresh cold water. The kettle has
minimum and maximum markings. Never underfill or overfill the kettle.
CAUTION / DANGEROUS:
Never fill above the MAX line. If you fill
above the max line, boiling water will push out of the pouring spout.
This can cause severe injuries and burns.
• Close lid.
• Place kettle on power base (Fig. 1).
• Plug cord into outlet. The display illuminates and shows the kettle symbol
and 212ºF (Fig. 3a).
• Push the On/Off button (Fig. 2d). The kettle symbol will blink, indicating that
the kettle is heating the water. The warmer the water becomes the more
you will hear the noise of the water heating up.
• When the water comes to a boil the display will switch from the kettle
symbol to the timer symbol (Fig. 3d). The timer symbol will blink for three
seconds (default). Then the display changes back to the kettle symbol
(not blinking) and the heater shuts off.
• Lift kettle from base and pour water out slowly. For different settings
see chapters 4, 5 and 6.
2. DRY BOIL SHUT-OFF PROTECTION
If you turn the kettle on without water in the kettle, the heater will shut
off after a few seconds. The display will go blank. Once the kettle has
cooled down, the display will come back on again. This can take several
minutes. To speed up this process you can fill some cold water into the
kettle. You will hear a clicking noise. This indicates that the thermostat
has reset itself. If you place the kettle back on the power base, the
display will show the default setting again (Fig. 3a).
Please note: AUTO-OFF. The kettle will always shut-off after the selected
temperature has been reached.
3. TURNING THE KETTLE OFF
There are two ways to turn off the kettle:
1) During operation, push the On/Off button. This will not erase any
programmed settings as long as the kettle sits on the base.
2) During operation, lift the kettle off the base. This will turn off the kettle
and erase any personal setting. You will need to select your personal
setting again.
4. VARIABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
According to tea experts certain teas should not be steeped with
boiling water (i.e. Green Tea should be steeped between 170ºF and
185ºF, most Oolong teas should be steeped between 190ºF and 200ºF,
water for French Press coffee should not be hotter than 200ºF.)
• Fill your kettle with the desired amount of cold fresh water. Place on
power base. The display shows the default setting (Fig. 3a).
• Use the -/+ buttons (Fig. 2b) to select any temperature between 110ºF and
200ºF in 10ºF increments (110ºF, 120ºF and so forth) or 212ºF.
• Push the On/Off button (Fig. 2d). The kettle will heat the water to the
desired temperature and then shut off. The display will show the selected
temperature and the kettle symbol will stop blinking.
When you remove the kettle from the base and replace it, the default
setting 212ºF will be displayed.
5. KEEP WARM
The keep warm feature can be set in two ways:
1) To keep water at a certain temperature after it has reached the
desired temperature.
2) To first boil the water and then bring it down to the desired
temperature.
• The display shows the default setting (Fig. 3a).
• Push the program button once (Fig. 2c). The display will show the warm
keeping symbol and 000ºF.
• Push the -/+ buttons (Fig. 2b) to select the keep warm
temperature between 110ºF and 190ºF.
• Push the On/Off button.
