SHORT CABLE INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cable is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping over a longer cable. Longer detachable power-supply cables or extension leads are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension lead is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension lead should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE
To rinse the pot of any packing debris, “brew” a pot of plain water without tea. To do so, follow the directions below.

1. Remove all packing materials. Be sure that all parts are included before discarding any packaging.

2. Pull out the power cable from the compartment under the base, and place the base on a flat surface. (Make sure the power cable comes out of the opening in the base so the unit can sit level.)

3. To rinse the pot of any manufacturing residue, “brew” a pot of plain water without tea. To do so, lift off the lid and fill the kettle with water to the MAX line.

4. Put the lid with the infuser attached (but empty) back on
   the kettle. Place the kettle on the base unit, and plug it into a power socket.

5. Bring the water to the boil by pressing the BOIL button and then the START/STOP button. The red LED lights inside the kettle will illuminate to indicate the water is heating.

6. Once the kettle boils, empty it (discarding the water), then rinse it with fresh water.

HOW TO MAKE TEA WITH THE TEA INFUSER

1. Place the base on a flat surface.

2. Remove the lid. Remove the infuser from the lid by twisting it and sliding it in the direction indicated on the lid.

3. Fill the kettle to at least the MIN line (0.5 litres) and not above the MAX line (1.8 litres) with cold, fresh water, and place the kettle securely onto its base. Return just the lid to the pot.

4. Plug in the unit. The kettle will beep once and the LED ring near the kettle’s base will light up in white, meaning it’s in Standby mode.

5. After 2 seconds, the default temperature of 100˚C will display on the screen (after first use, the kettle will default to your previously used temperature). To choose a different temperature, press the SET TEMP button repeatedly to toggle through the available choices (see table on p. 13). You can also press the BOIL button to quickly jump to 100˚C (full boil). To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, press and hold the SET TEMP button for 3 seconds.

6. When your desired temperature displays on the screen, press START/STOP to begin heating. The LED ring at the base will turn red to indicate it’s heating. During heating, the water’s current temperature will display on the screen.

7. Meanwhile, add tea to the infuser. Use loose tea (about
   2 teaspoons per cup) or tea bags based on the amount of water you’re heating. (Wait to insert the infuser until the desired temperature has been reached.)

8. When the kettle reaches the desired temperature, the kettle will beep three times, READY will display in green on the panel and the LED ring at the kettle’s base will turn green. Carefully lift off the kettle lid. Slide the tea-filled infuser onto the underside of the lid (a slight twist helps), insert it into the kettle and press the lid to close.

9. Let tea steep according to directions or as you like. When finished steeping, carefully remove the infuser by lifting off the lid. If you would like to return the lid to the kettle, let the infuser cool (you can run it under water), then carefully twist/pull it off, and return the lid (without the infuser) to the kettle; press to close

BREWING TEMPERATURE GUIDE
The chart below is intended as a starting point for brewing your perfect cup of tea. You may need to vary the amount of tea and steeping times based on the kind of tea, the size of the leaves and your personal preference. The kettle also heats water to the perfect temperature for pour-over coffee (use a pour- over decanter and filter setup; do not put coffee in the tea infuser).

HOW TO HEAT WATER WITHOUT MAKING TEA
Follow the directions for making tea with the infuser but leave the tea and infuser out of the kettle. Use hot water as desired.

BOIL-DRY PROTECTION
The kettle comes equipped with boil-dry protection. While you should never heat the kettle without water at least to the MIN line (0.5 litres), should the unit go dry or start without water, it will automatically shut off completely to avoid damaging the heating element. It will not come back on, even if you replace it on the base, until it has cooled down.

AUTOMATIC KEEP WARM FUNCTION
As soon as the kettle comes to the boil, its LED lights switch from red to green, indicating that it is in Keep Warm mode. The kettle will keep your water or tea hot for up to 1 hour. Lifting the kettle from its base will turn the Keep Warm function off.

MUTE FUNCTION
To mute the kettle’s beeps, press and hold the BOIL button for 3 seconds. To turn the sound back on, simply press and hold the same button again for 3 seconds.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Clean the interior of the kettle as needed by removing the infuser and carefully washing the inside with soapy water. Rinse the inside of the kettle thoroughly. Wipe the outside of the kettle and power base with a damp cloth. WARNING: Never immerse the kettle or power base in water or wash in the dishwasher; doing so will damage the unit.
3. To clean the spout filter, rinse it under hot water while gently rubbing it with a clean cloth or brush. Do not remove the filter from the spout.
4. Wash the tea infuser in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly; the infuser is not dishwasher safe.

GENERAL CLEANING NOTE
Reheating tea in your kettle may result in a bronze-colored tea stain on the kettle. This is caused by tea residue that adheres when reheated at high temperatures. To avoid tea staining, do not reheat the same pot of tea twice, and always rinse the inside of your kettle before each brew. To remove the bronze-colored staining, add a small amount of food-grade white vinegar to a fresh kettle full of water and boil. After boiling, allow the kettle to cool, discard the water and thoroughly wash and dry the kettle before your next use.

DECALCIFYING
Due to minerals in water, deposits may form on the base of the kettle and cause discolouration. To get the best performance from your kettle, decalcify it from time to time. Frequency will depend on the hardness of your water and how often you use the kettle. You can either use a commercial descaler (following the package directions) or use vinegar and water, and follow the directions below:

1. Fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about 1.5 cm. Heat the vinegar to the boil.
2. Repeat this process with fresh vinegar until all deposits are removed.
3. When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse it out several times with clean water.
