5. When the settings are as desired, press the
Power button to start heating. The Heat Water
icon will start blinking, indicating that heating is
underway. Once water reaches the temperature
setting, the blinking Keep Warm icon will appear

altitude locations, where water can begin to boil

ture of 212°F. The extra 3 to 6 seconds that can
be added to heating are so that water may heat
to 212°F before the unit switches to Keep Warm.
