Optimum Temperatures For Teas And Coffees; Using With Insufficient Water; Care And Maintenance; Cleaning The Filter - Russell Hobbs Kettle Instructions Manual

27 When you lift the kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. Don't worry – it's the
steam used to switch off automatically, which then condenses and escapes via vents
under the kettle.
28 You may see some discolouration on the floor of the kettle. Again, don't worry – it's
due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor.

optimum temperatures for teas and coffees

The temperature of the water used in the preparation of different types of tea and
coffee is important.
fine green teas – Japanese Sencha
green tea roasted – green tea from
around the world
white tea – white peony, jasmine
black tea – Pu-erh, Ceylon, Assam
coffee
piston/plunger coffee pot, and instant

water filter
37 Scale particles suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy appearance.
The filter will prevent these particles going into your drink. If you see deposits on
the filter, clean it, otherwise the performance of your kettle will drop, your drinks
may contain scale, and the water inside the kettle may look cloudy.

cleaning the filter

38 Check your hands are free from soap, or anything which might leave a taint.
39 Unplug the kettle and let it cool down.
40 Open the lid.
41 Use the tab on the filter to pull the filter out of the guides, then lift it out of the
kettle.
42 Rinse the filter under a running tap while brushing with a soft brush.
43 Rinse the kettle, in case scale particles have fallen inside.
