If at any time a new Set Temperature is selected that is below the current water
temperature, power to the heating element will temporarily be off as the water
cools to the lower Set Temperature. The LED light will remain on. Once the water
temperature cools to the lower Set Temperature the beeper will sound (3 short beeps)
and the normal Keep Warm mode will be activated. This is the process you
might follow if you wish to boil (sterilize) the water before actually using it at a
lower temperature.
Note: The beeper will only sound once when the kettle reaches the Set Temperature
and enters the Keep Warm mode. As long as the kettle is in the Keep Warm mode,
however, the LED light will remain illuminated.
BREWING GUIDE
For your convenience, the following table lists the brewing temperature ranges of
water commonly preferred by many experts for preparation of popular teas and coffee:
Beverage
Herbal Teas
White Tea
Green Teas, regular
Green Teas, delicate
Oolongs
Coffee
Black Tea
Pu-Erh
The supplier of your tea will likely recommend an optimum temperature. Consider
heating enough water so you can preheat your cup with it before you steep your tea.
You may wish to heat the water to a temperature slightly above that recommended to
compensate for the cooling effect of the cup.
BOIL DRY PROTECTION
For added protection in the event you accidentally turn on the power to an empty
kettle, containing little to no water, two safety switches will interrupt the power and
shut all power OFF. These safety switches will automatically reset once the kettle has
cooled down. However, since power will have been interrupted to the heater, when
power is restored to the kettle the Heat Control will be in the OFF state. The
display will show the temperatures of the kettle. Add water and press the Heat Control
(power) button to ON if you wish to heat the water to your Set Temperature.
The LED will illuminate, confirming that the heater is warning. For your safety, multiple
levels of thermal, electrical and operational protections are built into the Kettle.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
