FEATURES OF YOUR BREVILLE VARIABLE TEMPERATURE KETTLE™
Hold Temp Function
The Variable Temperature Kettle™ offers a convenient HOLD TEMP function that can be used before, during or on completion of the water heating cycle.
When the water has reached the selected temperature, the HOLD TEMP function will hold the selected temperature for
20 minutes.
If the 212° button is selected when using the HOLD TEMP function, the boiled water will remain at approximately 200° Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
NOTE:
If temperature is changed during the HOLD TEMP function, the START/CANCEL button surround will illuminate in red.
Variable Temperature Control
The variable electronic control panel offers five different Fahrenheit temperatures for optimal tea and coffee brewing:
175˚, 185˚, 195˚, 200˚, and 212°.
NOTE:
This product is not calibrated for commer- cial or scientific use. Temperatures may vary ± 10˚F (5˚C), however still within range for optimal brewing for each type of tea or
coffee.
To activate the HOLD TEMP function, first press the desired water temperature button from the five options on the control panel. Then press the HOLD TEMP button, followed by the START/ CANCEL button to commence heating the water.
Alternatively, the HOLD TEMP 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 HOLD TEMP function the kettle will automatically switch off.
Optimal Brewing
Tea varieties are grown and produced in different environments and require specific 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 tea/coffee packet.
To bring out the optimal taste and quality of your favorite tea or coffee, we recommend that you use your Breville Variable Temperature Kettle™ at the suggested temperature for your selected tea or coffee.
