Functions

VARIABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL

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

NOTE
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 Breville Smart Kettle™ at the suggested temperature for your selected tea or coffee.

The Variable Temperature Control Table. provides a guide to a range of tea and coffee varieties and the recommended temperature to select on the control panel of the Breville Smart Kettle™.

KEEP WARM FUNCTION

The Breville Smart 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 Celsius 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 the kettle is removed from the power base during the KEEP WARM function the kettle will automatically switch off.

NOTE
If temperature is changed during the KEEP WARM function, the START/CANCEL button surround will illuminate in red.
