If Kettle is removed from Base, Kettle will turn off. Press START/STOP Button to return to selected temperature and Kettle will start heating. Keep Warm Function does not maintain a boil at 212°F (100°C). It will maintain 200°F (93°C).

If Kettle Floor Discolors:
It is normal for stainless steel heating elements to discolor. This does not affect the performance of Kettle. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners since this may damage the stainless steel surface.

If Kettle Boils Dry:
The heating element is protected by two automatic safety devices. If your Kettle is accidentally switched on without being filled with water, or is allowed to boil dry, Kettle will automatically switch off. You should:

  • Unplug Kettle and wait about 20 minutes for element to cool down.
  • Refill Kettle; then use as normal and check that Kettle functions correctly. Remove Kettle from Base and place back on Base. Press START/STOP Button, then press MODE Button to select desired tea setting.

If Kettle Does Not Work:

  • If Black Tea/Boil was selected and Kettle does not boil, it might need descaling (see "Care and Cleaning" section).
  • Has Kettle been accidentally turned on without being filled with water, or allowed to boil dry?
    Remove Kettle from Base and add water. Place Kettle back on Base and press START/STOP Button. If Kettle doesn't turn on, wait 20 minutes, and try again.
  • Is cord firmly plugged into outlet and Kettle firmly seated in Base?

Temperature and Tea Guide

TYPE TEMP.°F TIME

White Tea 180° 3-4 minutes
Oolong Tea 190° 3-5 minutes
French Press 200°
Black Tea/Boil 212° 5 minutes

Tea Guide

  • Bring filtered or good-tasting tap water to a boil in Kettle. Use 6 ounces (177 mL) of water per cup of tea.
  • If using loose tea instead of tea bags, measure 1 rounded teaspoon of tea per cup into an infuser and place infuser in cup. If no infuser is available, put tea directly into cup.
  • Pour heated water directly over tea. For stronger tea, add more leaves rather than infusing longer than is recommended.
  • Tea that is oversteeped will become bitter.
