BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with
the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition, we ask that you exercise
a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions:

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• Carefully read all instructions before

operation and save for future reference.

• Remove and safely discard any packaging

material and promotional labels before
using the appliance for the first time.

• To eliminate a choking hazard for young

children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover fitted to the power plug
of this appliance.

• This appliance has been designed

specifically for the purpose of heating
and boiling drinking quality water only.
Under no circumstances should this
product be used to heat or boil any other
liquids or foodstuffs.

• Do not place the kettle near the edge

of a bench or table during operation.
Ensure that the surface is level, clean
and free of water.

• Do not place the kettle on or near a hot

gas burner, electric element or where it
could touch a heated oven.

• Keep the kettle clear of walls, curtains and

other heat or steam sensitive materials.
Minimum 8 inch distance.

• Do not operate the kettle on a sink

drain board.

• Always ensure the kettle is properly

assembled before connecting to a
power outlet and operating. Follow the
instructions provided in this book.

• The kettle must be used only with the

power base supplied.

• The kettle is not intended to be operated

by means of an external timer or separate
remote control system.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handle

for lifting and carrying the kettle.

• Do not place anything on top of the lid.

• Always remove the power plug from the

power outlet before attempting to move
the appliance, when the appliance is
not in use and before cleaning and
storing. Allow to cool before putting on
or taking off parts, and before cleaning
the appliance.

• Use caution when pouring water from

the kettle, as boiling water and steam will
scald. Do not pour the water too quickly.

• To protect against electric shock, do not

immerse the kettle base, power base,
power cord or power plug in water or
allow moisture to come in contact with
these parts.

• Do not remove the kettle from the power

base during operation. Ensure the kettle
has switched off after the water has boiled
or reached the selected temperature,
before removing the kettle from the

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR
ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

• Fully unwind cord before use.

• To protect against electric shock, do not

immerse cord, plug or appliance in water
or any other liquid.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge

of a bench or table, touch hot surfaces,
or become knotted.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended

when in use.

• This appliance is not intended for use by

persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience or knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure

they do not play with the appliance.

• This appliance is recommended for

household use only. Do not use this
appliance for anything other than its
intended use. Do not use in moving
vehicles or boats. Do not use outdoors.

• It is recommended to regularly inspect

the appliance. Do not use the appliance
if the power cord, power plug, or appliance
becomes damaged in anyway.
Immediately cease use and call Breville
Consumer Service.

• For any maintenance other than cleaning,

call Breville Consumer Service.

• This appliance is equipped with a power

cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The appliance must
be grounded using a 3-hole properly
grounded outlet. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electrical shock.

• If the appliance is of the grounded type,

the extension cord should be a grounding
3-wire cord.

• If the power outlet is a standard

2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.

• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord or use an adapter.

• Consult a qualified electrician if

the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.

WARNING

Do not operate the kettle on an
inclined surface. Do not move the
appliance while it is switched on.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

Your Breville appliance is fitted with a short
power supply cord to reduce personal injury
or property damage resulting from pulling,
tripping or becoming entangled with a
longer cord. If an extension cord is used, (1)
the marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the
cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or table-top where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally and (3) the extension cord
must include a 3-prong grounding plug.

Assist™ Plug, conveniently designed with
a finger hole to ease removal from the wall
outlet. For safety reasons it is recommended
you plug your Breville appliance directly into
its own electrical outlet on a dedicated circuit
separate from other appliances.

If the electric circuit is overloaded with other
appliances, your appliance may not function
properly. It is not recommended to use with a
power strip.

KEEP WARM FUNCTION

The kettle offers a convenient KEEP WARM
function that can be used before, during or
on completion of the water heating cycle.

When the water has reached the selected
temperature, the KEEP WARM function
will hold the selected temperature for
20 minutes.

If the 212°F button is selected when using
the KEEP WARM function, the boiled water
will remain at approximately 200°F for
20 minutes.

To activate the KEEP WARM function,
first press the desired water temperature
button from the five options on the control
panel. Then press the KEEP WARM button,
followed by the START|CANCEL button to
commence heating the water.

Alternatively, the KEEP WARM button can
be activated at any time during the heating
cycle and/or within one minute after the
heating cycle has completed.

If the kettle is removed from the power base
during the KEEP WARM function the kettle
will automatically switch off.

NOTE

If the temperature is changed during
the KEEP WARM function, the
START|CANCEL button surround
will illuminate.

VARIABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The variable electronic control panel offers
five different Fahrenheit temperatures for
optimal tea and coffee brewing:
175˚F, 185˚F, 195˚F, 200˚F, and 212˚F.

NOTE

This product is not calibrated for
commercial or scientific use.

Temperatures may vary ± 10˚F (5˚C),
however still within range for optimal
brewing for each type of tea or coffee.

OPTIMAL BREWING

Tea varieties are grown and produced
in different environments and require
specific water temperatures to allow their
unique flavor and aroma to develop during
brewing. To bring out the optimal quality
and taste of more delicate tea leaves, a lower
temperature will produce a better flavored
cup of tea. For example, steeping green,
white or oolong teas in boiling water may
scald the tea leaves and result in a bitter,
astringent brew.

Brewing the tea for too long may also result
in a bitter, unpleasant taste, while brewing
for too short a period may leave the tea
bland. For best results always follow the
specific directions on the tea/coffee packet.
