Cover release button 🔒 : to open the cover.

B. Operation

Heating water

• Open the cover by pressing the button
• Pour the desired amount of cold water in the kettle ensuring to keep between the "MIN" and "MAX" levels marked on the water gauge.
• Push the lid closed; you will feel and hear a slight «click».
  • Gently place the kettle on the base.
• Plug the kettle into the mains.
• Press the button of the desired temperature.
• Press the button Ⓤ to heat the water. The temperature button selected will flash. The water level indicator at the rear of the kettle will turn on. An audio signal will sound for 1 second to indicate that the process has begun.

N.B. If the ⬤ switch is pressed but the temperature has not been set, the kettle will default to 100°C.

• When the kettle has reached the selected temperature it will beep 5 times and switch off. The light illuminating the water indicator window will turn off.
• The kettle can also be turned off at any time by pressing the button or by removing it from the base.

N.B. The temperature can be changed at any time during the boiling process by pressing one of the preset temperature options. If the temperature selected during boiling is lower than the temperature of the water in the kettle or the kettle is off and the water is still hotter than the temperature selected, the temperature button will flash, and the kettle will switch off and beep 5 times once the water temperature drop to the selected temperature. If the temperature selected during boiling is same as the temperature of the water in the kettle, it will switch off and beep 5 times. When the kettle is off, select a temperature and then press On/Off switch, if the temperature of the water in the kettle is the

same as the selected temperature, the kettle will not work but beep 5 times.

• Once the water has boiled and the kettle has switched off, carefully lift the kettle off the powerbase.
• When the kettle is removed from the powerbase before it automatically switches off and is then put back on the powerbase it will not continue to boil. It will need to be reset.

Keeping the water warm

• Select the desired temperature. If the temperature has not been set previously, the apparatus will be at the default setting of 100^ .
• Press the 'Keep Warm' button then the button.
• As soon as the selected temperature has been reached, the kettle emits 3 sound signals and stays lit. The light illuminating the water level indicator stays on.
• The temperature now stays at that constant temperature for 30 minutes.

C. Hints and tips

• Always use fresh, cold water each time you boil. Never use the kettle to heat another liquid (milk, soup, broth...).
• As soon as the kettle boils, pour the water into your ceramic pot or cup directly onto the tea. The tea should be allowed to steep for 3 to 5 minutes. The longer it steeps the stronger it is. For iced tea, brew tea double-strength (steep twice as long) and pour over ice. Stir and serve as desired.
• Do not open the lid of the kettle when pouring or during the heating process as escaping steam may scald.
• If the kettle is on without any water inside, it will shut off automatically, thanks to the integrated safety mechanism. The lights illuminating the water level indicator and the control panel flash on and off and the kettle emits 20 sound

signals. The lights illuminating the water level indicator and the control panel stop flashing on and off once the kettle has cooled down. After cooling down, switch off the kettle by unplugging and then plugging in or remove the kettle from the base then place it back.

- Empty the kettle after each use. Do not leave water standing in the kettle.

D. Recommended temperature settings

Achieving the correct water brewing temperature is essential for optimum flavour extraction of tea and coffee. The quick reference guide below shows the ideal brewing temperatures for different types of teas and coffees.

Brewing temperature for green tea and black tea vary considerably; as green tea won't maintain its fl avour or therapeutic properties if the water is too hot and black tea will never reach release its fl avours if the water is not hot enough.

If the recommended temperatures don't appear in your tea/coff ee packaging, please refer to the table:

Water temperature	Drinks
75°C White tea, jasmine tea
80°C Chinese green tea
85°C Black tea
90°C	Japanese green tea, red tea, smoked tea (Souchong)
95°C	Earl Grey, Ceylan, Oolong, Wu Long, blue tea, infusions, ground coff ee (coff ee press)
100°C	Boiling water

5. DESCALING

• To limit scale build-up, we recommend you use only filtered or low-calcium water.
