Functions

VARIABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The electronic control panel offers five different temperature settings for optimal tea and coffee brewing: 80°C , 85°C , 90°C , 95°C and 100°C.

NOTES
This product is not calibrated for commercial or scientific use. Temperatures may vary +/-3 °C degrees, being within range for optimal brewing for each type of tea or coffee.
OPTIMAL BREWING
Tea varieties are grown and produced in many different environments and require different water temperatures to allow their unique flavour 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 flavoured 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.
To bring out the optimal taste and quality of your favourite tea or coffee, we recommend that you use your kettle at the suggested temperature for your selected tea or coffee.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove and safely discard any packaging material or promotional labels attached to your kettle. It is recommended before first use to fill the kettle to the maximum level with cold tap water, bring to the boil by selecting the BOIL 100° button, then discard the water. Your kettle will only operate when positioned on the power base. The kettle will automatically switch off when the water has reached the selected temperature.

OPERATION OF YOUR KETTLE

1. To fill the kettle, remove it from the power base and open lid by pressing the lid release button.
   Fill with the desired amount of water.
   NOTE
   Always fill the kettle between the minimum and maximum marks on the vessel. Too little water will result in the kettle switching Off due to the safety boil dry protection. Filling above the maximum mark (MAX) may result in boiling water splashing from the kettle.

2. Ensure the lid is closed and locked firmly into place. Position the kettle securely onto the power base. Insert the power plug into a 230/240V power outlet and switch on. The START/CANCEL and 100° BOIL button surrounds will illuminate in white for 30 seconds.
   A beep will sound for two seconds. The START/ CANCEL button surround will automatically switch off after 30 seconds if not selected.

   If the START/CANCEL button is pressed (before selecting a temperature button), the START / CANCEL button surround will illuminate in red and the 100° button surround will illuminate and the kettle will start heating.

3. Select the desired setting by pressing one of the five temperature buttons (80°, 85°, 90°, 95°, 100°). The selected button and the START/CANCEL button surround will illuminate in white.
   NOTE
   The KEEP WARM function can be selected before, during or on completion of the water heating cycle.

4. Press the START/CANCEL button and the surround will illuminate in red, the selected temperature button surround will illuminate and the kettle will start heating. Do not remove the kettle from the power base during operation.
   Ensure the kettle has switched off after the water has boiled or the selected temperature has been reached before removing the kettle from the power base. If the kettle is removed from the power base during the KEEP WARM function the kettle will automatically switch off.

5. When the kettle has heated the water to the selected temperature, a beep will sound, the START/CANCEL button will change colour from red to white and the selected temperature button will remain illuminated for 30 seconds before switching off.

6. If the KEEP WARM function has been selected, the KEEP WARM button surround will remain illuminated in red, the selected temperature button surround will remain illuminated in white, and the kettle will maintain the desired setting for 20 minutes.

   Replace the kettle onto the power base and close the lid.

SOUND SETTINGS
To change beep frequency, press the KEEP WARM and START/CANCEL buttons simultaneously for three seconds and one of the temperature buttons on the left from the last setting will illuminate.
Select the desired beep frequency from the 5 different temperature buttons. The temperature selection is in descending beep frequency, with the 100 °C having the highest and loudest beep.
Press the START/CANCEL button to confirm the beep selection. If no temperature button is selected to set the desired beep frequency within 10 seconds, the kettle will go on standby mode.
NOTES

• The default temperature setting of the kettle when switched on at the power outlet is 100°.
  When the kettle is switched off at the power outlet and switched back on, it will automatically default to the 100° temperature setting.

• When the kettle remains switched on at the power outlet and different temperature settings have been selected, the kettle will default to the last selected temperature setting.

• This kettle must be used only with the power base supplied. Use caution when pouring water from your kettle, as boiling / heated water and steam will scald. Do not pour the water too quickly.

• Always fill the kettle to between the minimum and maximum marks on the vessel. Filling above the maximum mark on the water window of the kettle may result in boiling/heated water splashing from the kettle.

KEEP WARM FUNCTION
The Smart Crystal Luxe™ 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 100° button is selected when using the KEEP WARM function, the boiled water will remain at approximately 95° Celsius 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 temperature is changed during the KEEP WARM function, the START/CANCEL button surround will illuminate in red.

Care & Cleaning

Always switch off and and unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
REMOVABLE FILTER
The kettle features a mesh filter to remove scale deposits for cleaner water. To remove the scale deposits from the filter, open the lid and slide the filter up and out of the kettle. The filter can be cleaned by running under hot water and rubbing with a cleaning cloth or brush. To replace filter, simply slide the filter down into the slot behind the spout of the kettle and push back into position.
NOTE
The filter could become damaged with time, so please check regularly and replace if found damaged.
DESCALING
It is essential that regular descaling takes place.
Frequency will depend on the usage of the kettle and the hardness of the water in your area. A build-up of scale may cause the inside of the kettle to discolour and ultimately may damage the element. This will affect the efficiency of the appliance and may invalidate the warranty agreement. We recommend the use of Breville Kettle Cleaner as it’s specially formulated for descaling kettles.
