Setting the Temperature
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 flavour or therapeutic
properties if the water is too hot and black tea will never reach its peak if the water is
not hot enough.
Water temperature
85ºC
90ºC
95ºC
100ºC
If drinks require a lower temperature than the above, the kettle should be supervised and
switched off once it reaches the desired temperature. The LCD shows the temperature
reading in 5 degree increments.

Operation
Open the lid by pressing the lid release button located on the top of the handle.
Fill the kettle with the required amount of cold water. The water gauge is at the rear of
the kettle and is marked with min (0.5L) and max (1.7L) and 2 cup and 4 cup markers.
N.B. Take care not to exceed the max mark as this may cause spitting or leaking from
the spout when boiling.
Push the lid closed; you will feel and hear a slight click.
Align the kettle over the powerbase and gently lower it into position, sitting firmly on
the base.
Plug the kettle into the mains; the current water temperature will be shown on the
display (the water temperature will be displayed to the nearest 5 degrees, e.g. 20ºC).
Press the 85ºC button for coffee or green and white tea or the 100ºC button for black
or herbal teas (the selected temperature button will illuminate and the temperature
selected will be shown in the LCD window, flashing continuously until the kettle is
started).
If you want to manually set the temperature, press the '+' button located on the handle.
This will increase the temperature in 5 degree increments from 85ºC through to 100ºC.
The temperature can only be increased from a starting temperature of 85ºC.
Drinks

teas e.g Sencha, Gunpowder and Jasmine and black
instant coffee
Oolong
French press/cafetiere coffee
