KEEP WARM FUNCTION
The 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 temperature, the KEEP WARM function will hold the selected temperature for 20 minutes.
If the 212°F button 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 STARTCANCEL 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 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 STARTCANCEL button surround will illuminate.
VARIABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The variable electronic control panel offers five different Fahrenheit temperatures for optimal tea and coffee brewing:
175˚F, 185˚F, 195˚F, 200˚F, and 212˚F.
NOTE
This product is not calibrated for commercial or scientific use.
Temperatures may vary ± 10˚F (5˚C), however still within range for optimal brewing for each type of tea or coffee.
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.
