HEATING WATER TO A SELECTED TEMPERATURE

Your kettle’s variable temperature mode allows you to tailor the water temerpature to suit specific teas, coffee and even baby food and milks. The range is adjustable from 40-100ºC.
Heating water to a precise temperature depends on several factors. One of these is the amount of water you are trying to heat. The final temperature of a small quantity of water may overshoot the desired temperature. If it is important that the temperature of the water is exact, we recommend using the Keep Warm feature of your kettle which will allow the temperature of the water to stabilise naturally.

  1. If your kettle is in standby mode, tap the C icon.
  2. Tap the icon.
  3. The numerical display will show the last selected water temperature.
  4. Turn the select/confirm knob until the desired temperature is displayed.

USING THE INFUSER AND STEEP TIMER

The steep timer allows you to time infusions when using the infuser accessory. You must first heat the water to the desired temperature see HEATING WATER TO A SELECTED TEMPERATURE. The timer can be set from 1 to 40 minutes.
Note: When using the infuser, only fill your kettle to the 1.5L marking. This will allow room for the infuser and its contents when you insert it into the kettle, and prevent water from being displaced out of the spout.

  1. Prepare the infuser accessory by putting the desired amount of tea leaves into it.
  2. When the water reaches the desired temperature, open the lid and put the infuser into your kettle. The notch in the infuser should face the handle.
  3. Tap the icon.
  4. Turn the select/confirm knob until the desired steeping time is shown on the numerical display. Turning the control slowly will increase/decrease the time in 1 minute intervals. Turning the control quickly will increase/decrease the time in 5 minute intervals.
  5. Press the select/confirm knob . The last used temperature will then be displayed.
  6. Turn the select/confirm knob to adjust desired temperature (or skip this step if the current temperature is already correct).
  7. Press the select/confirm knob to start the countdown.
  8. Your kettle will beep when the time is up. Note that the infusion will start to cool down naturally after the timer has elapsed.
  9. To cancel at any time you can tap the cancel Bicon.

KEEP WARM MODE

This mode allows you to keep the heated water at a specified temperature. The keep warm mode can be set from 1 to 40 minutes.

  1. Tap the icon.
  2. Turn the select/confirm knob until the desired keep warm time is shown on the numerical display. Turning the control slowly will increase/decrease the time in 1 minute intervals. Turning the control quickly will increase/decrease the time in 5 minute intervals.
  3. Press the select/confirm knob . The last used temperature will then be displayed.
  4. Turn the select/confirm knob to adjust desired temperature (or skip this step if the current temperature is already correct).
  5. Press the select/confirm knob to start the countdown.
  6. Your kettle will beep when the time is up.
  7. To cancel at any time you can tap the cancel Bicon.

BOIL DRY PROTECTION

If your kettle boils dry, a safety cut-out device will automatically switch it off. If this happens, unplug your kettle and allow it to cool down until the cut-out resets itself. Allowing your kettle to boil dry will shorten the life of the element.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

  1. Unplug the stand, and let the kettle cool before cleaning.
  2. . Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth.
  3. Open the lid.
  4. Squeeze the two lugs together on the anti scale filter then remove it from the kettle.
  5. Rinse it under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.
  6. Insert the anti scale filter back into the kettle and push it into place until it clicks.

Descale regularly, (at least monthly).

  • Descale regularly. Use a proprietary brand of descaler suitable for use in plastic-bodied products. Follow the instructions on the package of descaler.
  • Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a repair charge.

RECYCLING

To avoid environmental and health problems due to hazardous substances, appliances and rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries marked with one of these symbols must not be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste. Always dispose of electrical and electronic products and, where applicable, rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries, at an appropriate official recycling/collection point.
