BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Read all Important Safeguards and Operating Instructions before using
this kettle. Discard the rst lling 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 underll or overll the kettle.
CAUTION / DANGEROUS: Never ll above the MAX line. If you ll
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/O 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 o.
• Lift kettle from base and pour water out slowly. For dierent 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
o 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 ll 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).
3. TURNING THE KETTLE OFF
There are two ways to turn o the kettle:
1) During operation, push the On/O button. This will not erase any
programmed settings as long as the kettle sits on the base.
2) During operation, lift the kettle o the base. This will turn o 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 coee 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/O button (Fig. 2d). The kettle will heat the water to the
desired temperature and then shut o. 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 rst 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/O button.
Please note: AUTO-OFF. The kettle will always shut-o after the selected
temperature has been reached.
6. 7.
Page 5
Please note: The keep warm temperature cannot be set higher than the
selected heating temperature, i.e. if the selected heating temperature is
set to 160ºF, the keep warm temperature can be set between 110ºF
and 160ºF.
Please note: If the selected heating temperature is set to 212ºF or
200ºF degrees the keep warm temperature cannot be set higher
than 190ºF.
After the selected heating temperature is reached, the display will now
change to the preselected keep warm temperature. The keep warm
symbol and the keep warm temperature are displayed. Once the
water cools to approx. 10ºF below the pre-set keep warm temperature,
the heater will automatically start re-warming the water to the pre-set
temperature. During this time the keep warm symbol will be blinking.
The kettle will keep the selected temperature for up to 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes the keep warm symbol stops blinking indicating
that the heating element has shut o.
Please note: Once you remove the kettle from the power base, all
pre-sets are cancelled.
Tip: If you want to pour water immediately after brewing and then keep
the rest at a certain temperature, proceed as follows:
• Follow the instructions under chapter 1 or 4.
• Pour the desired amount of water.
• Replace the kettle.
• Select the brewing temperature by pushing the -/+ buttons.
• Push the program button once to show the keep warm display.
• 000ºF. Use the -/+ buttons to select the desired keep warm
temperature.
• Push the On/O button.
The kettle is now on. Depending on the temperature of the water it will
either re-heat the water immediately or later.
6. CHLORINE REDUCING SETTING / EXTENDED BOIL SETTING
If you boil the water in the default setting, the kettle will shut o 3 seconds
after the sensor registered the boiling temperature. You can prolong the
actual boiling action as follows:
• Set the Chlorine symbol to “CL”, this will add three extra seconds to
the boiling of the water.
• Change the Timer Setting from 003 (seconds) to any duration up to
20 seconds (020).
• Prepare the kettle as explained in chapter 1.
• Before you push the On/O button, push the program button twice,
the Chlorine symbol appears (Fig. 3c).
• Push either -/+ button once, the display shows “CL”.
• Push the program button again. The display shows the timer symbol and
003 (Fig. 3d).
• Push the -/+ button to select up to 20 seconds.
• Now push the On/O button. Once the boiling temperature is reached the
kettle will keep boiling the extra three seconds from the CL setting plus the
seconds set with the timer.
Please note: Once you remove the kettle from the base all settings will return
to the default (see Fig. 3a).
7. CLEANING
• Always unplug cord of power base before cleaning.
• Make sure kettle is cold.
• Clean the exterior surface with a clean, damp, soft cloth.
• Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring agents.
• Rinse out kettle.
Attention:
• Over time the stainless steel inside of the kettle may change color slightly.
This is caused by the intense heat of the heating element, especially if the
kettle was turned on repeatedly without water. This will not diminish the
performance of the kettle in any way.
• If your water has a high calcium content, calcium deposits might dull the
inside. Follow the instruction below for decalcication.
8. 9.
Page 6
8. DECALCIFICATION
Hard water can leave calcium spots inside the kettle that can slow down
boiling time. Use a commercial descaling agent, like Capresso Cleaning
Solution and follow the instructions that come with the agent.
NOTE: Make sure kettle is cold.
