Care And Maintenance - Chef's Choice SmartKettle 686 Manual

Low Water Protection
There are two primary ways the SmartKettle maintains safe operation even when turned on with little or no water.
For water levels less than the recommended two cups, accuracy will be diminished, but the electronics in the
SmartKettle will still cycle off to maintain a safe condition. In these cases, the indicator light will blink a green light
when a cycle is complete, but may quickly turn blue and begin reheating. In these cases, simply add more water
and re-start the cycle.
For a dry kettle or extremely low water levels (less than ½ cup or 100ml), there are two safety switches that will
interrupt power and turn the kettle completely OFF.
These 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 Control Panel will be in the OFF state. Add water
and follow the previous instructions to start the kettle heating. For your safety multiple levels of thermal, electrical
and operational protections are built into the SmartKettle

Useful Tips:
• Greatest temperature accuracy can be achieved when filling the kettle to its maximum level and starting with
room temperature water.
• The temperature will be closest to the set temperature when the kettle first indicates that a cycle is done
(beep plus green lights). The temperature will drift slightly as the kettle goes through its keep warm cycle.
This is necessary for energy efficiency and a long life for the kettle.
• Always use the kettle with the lid properly seated in its place, to avoid extended heating times, reduced efficiency,
and the possibility of hot water to splashing on users.
• If the kettle display will not activate when a button is pressed, make sure that the boil dry protection has not been
triggered. Rinse the kettle thoroughly with cool water, fill the kettle and place back on the base.
