SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

Your Breville appliance is fitted with a short power cord to reduce personal injury or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping, or becoming entangled with a longer cord. Longer detachable power cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised. 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 counter-top or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally and (3) the extension cord must include a 3-prong grounding plug.

BREVILLE ASSIST® PLUG

Functions

175°F| 195°F| 200°F| 205°F| 212°F

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 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 ea/coffee packet.
To bring out the optimal taste and quality of your favorite tea or coffee, we recommend that you use your Breville Smart  Kettle™ Luxe at the suggested temperature for your selected tea or coffee.
The table on the following page 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™ Luxe.

KEEP WARM FUNCTION

The Breville Smart Kettle™ Luxe 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° setting 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 been 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 in red.

   NOTE
   Always fill the kettle between the minimum and maximum marks on the water window. Too little water will result in the kettle switching off due to the safety of 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 110 /120V power outlet. The START/ CANCEL and 212° BOIL button surround will illuminate in white for one minute. A beep will sound for two seconds.

SAFETY BOIL DRY PROTECTION
The kettle is fitted with a safety device, which protects against overheating should the kettle be operated with insufficient water. If this occurs the kettle will stop heating. Unplug the kettle from the PowerPoint and allow kettle to cool before refilling and plugging the kettle back into the PowerPoint. The safety device will automatically reset when the kettle has cooled down.

Care & Cleaning

Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
REMOVABLE FILTER
The Breville Smart Kettle™ Luxe features a removable mesh filter to remove scale deposits for cleaner water. To clean the scale deposits from the filter, remove the filter by opening the lid and sliding the filter up and out of the kettle. The filter can be cleaned by placing it under running hot water and rubbing it with a cleaning cloth or brush. To replace the filter, simply slide the filter down into the slot behind the spout of the kettle and push it back into position.

NOTE
The filter could become damaged with time,  so please check regularly and replace it if found damaged.
DESCALING
It is essential that regular descaling takes place. The 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 discolor 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. To order, contact Breville Consumer Support. Follow the instructions for use on the Kettle Cleaner packaging for best results.
Directions for use:

1. Fill the kettle two-thirds full with 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water. Boil and allow to stand overnight.
2. Empty the solution from the kettle. Fill the kettle with clean water, bring it to a boil and discard the water. Repeat and the kettle will be ready for use.

TO CLEAN THE EXTERIOR
The outside of the kettle should be wiped with a damp cloth then polished with a soft, dry cloth.

NOTE
Do not use chemicals, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners to clean the inside or outside of the kettle.
STORAGE
Ensure the kettle is unplugged, clean, and dry before storing. Ensure that the lid is closed and locked securely into place. Wrap the power cord around the power cord storage under the power base. Stand the kettle upright on the power base. Do not store anything on top.
