Functions

VARIABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The electronic control panel offers four different settings for optimal tea and coffee brewing:

Green Tea	Oolong Tea	Coffee	Boil /Black Tea
80°C	90°C	95°C	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 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 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 favorite tea or coffee, we recommend that you use your Breville MultiTemp™ Kettle and the corresponding temperature.

KEEP WARM FUNCTION
The Breville MultiTemp™ 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.

Breville BKE755 MultiTemp - figure 2

To activate the KEEP WARM function, first press the desired water temperature button from the four 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 setting is changed to a higher setting during the KEEP WARM function, the START/CANCEL button surround will illuminate in red, and heating will start automatically. If the KEEP WARM function is not selected within one minute after the heating cycle has completed, the boiling process will need to start again.
Ensure the KEEP WARM button is pressed at any time before or during the heating cycle and/or within one minute after the heating cycle has completed.

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

To fill the kettle, remove it from the powerbase and open the lid by pressing the lid release button. Fill with the desired amount of water, then close the lid ensuring it is locked firmly into place.
NOTE
Always fill the kettle between the minimum (600ml) and maximum (1700ml) 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.
Position the kettle securely onto the power base. Insert the power plug into a 230V or 240V power outlet and switch the outlet on. A beep will sound for two seconds. The START/CANCEL and 100° BOIL button surround will illuminate in white. The START/CANCEL and 100° BOIL button surround will automatically switch off after one minute if the START/CANCEL button is not selected.
NOTE
If the START/CANCEL button is pressed without 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 to this default setting.
Select the desired setting by pressing one of the four temperature buttons (80°, 90°, 95°, 100°). The selected button and the START/CANCEL and 100° button surround will illuminate in white.
NOTE
The KEEP WARM function can be selected before, during or within one minute after the completion of the water heating cycle.
Press the START/CANCEL button and the surround will illuminate in red, the selected temperature button surround will remain in white 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.
When the kettle has heated the water to the selected temperature, 3 beeps will sound, the START/CANCEL button surround illumination will switch to white, and the selected temperature button and START/CANCEL button surround will remain illuminated for 1 minute before switching off.
If the KEEP WARM function has been selected, the KEEP WARM button surround will remain illuminated in red, the START/CANCEL button will no longer illuminate, the selected temperature button surround will remain illuminated in white with 3 beeps, and the kettle will maintain the desired setting for 20 minutes.
If further heating and keeping warm of the kettle is not required, switch off at the power outlet, unplug the power cord and empty the water from the kettle. Replace the kettle with the power base.
The kettle should be stored on its power base when not in use. The power outlet should be switched off and the power cord unplugged from the power outlet when not in use.

WARNING
Do not operate the kettle on an inclined surface. Do not move the kettle while it is switched on.

WARNING

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. Switch off at the power outlet and allow the kettle to cool before refilling. The safety device will automatically reset when the kettle has cooled down.

Care, Cleaning & Storage

Always switch off at the power outlet and unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.

REMOVABLE FILTER
The Breville MultiTemp Kettle™ 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 check regularly and replace it if found damaged.

WARNING
Never immerse the kettle base, power base, power cord, or power plug in water, or allow moisture to come into contact with these parts.

WARNING
To prevent damage to the kettle do not use chemicals, alkaline cleaning agents, steel wool or abrasive cleaners to clean the inside or outside of the kettle. Use a mild cleaning agent with a soft damp cloth.

MINERAL DEPOSITS AND DISCOLOURATION
Due to the large surface area of the immersed element (interior base), discoloration due to mineral deposits from tap water may appear more obvious by leaving a brown stain on the base. THIS IS NOT RUST. Discoloration may be removed by purchasing the Breville Kettle Cleaner and following the instructions on the packaging.

ALTERNATIVELY:

Fill the kettle until 2⁄3 full with 1 part vinegar (or a few slices of lemon) and 2 parts water, bring to the boil, and allow to stand overnight.
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 exterior of the kettle and power base 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 or power base.

STORAGE
Ensure the kettle is switched off, 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.
