ICED TEA
Any tea can be iced. Increase the amount of
tea and steep for the suggested time (see
our recipe on page 11). Once steeped,
make sure your unit is no longer heating or
in Keep Warm mode, and remove the
steeping assembly. Add ice and/or cold
water up to the top of the glass and cover
with the kettle lid for serving. You can put
the kettle in the refrigerator for additional
cooling, or serve immediately over ice.
KEEP WARm mODE
Keep Warm is the unit's default option that
automatically maintains selected
temperature for 30 minutes after steeping.
If instead you would like your unit to turn off
after steeping, Keep Warm can be turned
off (or back on) at any time before entering
Keep Warm mode by pressing the Keep
Warm button. When the indicator light
is on, the function is selected.
Once your unit has entered Keep Warm
mode, the time can be adjusted by pressing
the Keep Warm button, scrolling through 5
to 30 minutes. To turn the unit off at any
time, press the power button.
NOTE: If temperature selected was Boil,
a temperature just below the boiling point
will be maintained.
mEmORy fEATURE
The unit features an internal memory that
lets you remove the kettle from the base for
up to 2 minutes without the unit shutting off.
Instead, cycle will be paused. Lights will
flash while the kettle is off the base. When
the kettle is returned to the base the cycle
will resume from where it
left off.
BOIL-DRy PROTECTION
Your unit is equipped with boil-dry
protection. If it is heating without enough
water in the unit, the heater will
automatically shut off to avoid damaging
the element. All indicators will flash and
buttons will not work.
Once the kettle has cooled down, lift
it off the base, then replace it to reset.
The quickest way to cool the unit down
is to fill the kettle with cold water.
CLEANING, CARE AND
mAINTENANCE
Unplug your unit and allow it to cool before
cleaning. Rinse the kettle or wash with
warm soapy water. Wipe the outside of the
kettle and base of unit with a soft, damp
cloth. Be sure that the electric kettle socket
is kept dry during all cleaning.
Steeping Assembly and Kettle Lid – You
can wash in warm soapy water and rinse
thoroughly, or place on the top rack of the
dishwasher.
Removable Spout filter – This kettle has
a filter to keep the water/tea clean. Remove it
to clean by grasping and pulling upward. Run
filter under hot water and rub with a clean
cloth or brush, then snap it back into place.
Dry all parts after every use.
Never immerse kettle or power base in
water. Any other servicing should be
performed by an authorized service
representative.
DECALCIfICATION
Decalcification refers to removing mineral
deposits, which may form in the interior of the
kettle and may result in discoloration.
To get the best performance from your unit,
decalcify your unit from time to time. Frequency
will depend on the hardness of your water and
how often you use the unit.
We suggest using a kettle descaler in order to
dissolve these deposits or scale. Follow the
directions on the descaler package.
Alternatively, fill the kettle with enough white
vinegar to cover the bottom by about ½ inch.
Heat the vinegar to a boil. Repeat this with
cooled vinegar until all deposits are removed.
When complete, empty the kettle and rinse with
clean water.
