This product is not calibrated for commercial

+/-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, 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 favourite tea or coffee, we recommend
that you use your Breville Smart Kettle™ Luxe
at the suggested temperature for your selected
tea or coffee.
The table on the following page provides a
guide to a range of tea and coffee varieties
and the recommended temperature to
select on the control panel of the Breville
Smart Kettle™ Luxe.

KEEP WARM FUNCTION
The Breville Smart Kettle™ Luxe 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° setting
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 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 completed.
If the kettle is removed from the power base
during the KEEP WARM function the kettle
will automatically switch off.
NOTE
If temperature is changed during the KEEP
WARM function, the START/CANCEL button
surround will illuminate in red.
