OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packing and materials. Be sure that all parts are included before discarding any packaging.

2. Pull out the power cord from the compartment under the base, and place base on a flat surface. (Make sure the power cord comes out of the opening in the base so unit can sit level.)

3. To rinse the pot of any packing debris, “brew” a pot of plain water without tea. To do so, press the button on the lid to open, then fill kettle with water to the MAX line.

4. Close the lid, place the kettle back on the base unit, and plug into a power outlet.

5. Unit should come preset to Boil (212°F); if not, use arrow buttons to set it to Boil, then Press Start.

6. The LED indicator lights will turn red and the display will show the temperature as the water heats.

7. After the boil, the unit will automatically switch to Keep Warm and

LED indicator lights will be green. At this point, empty the kettle, then rinse the kettle with clean water. It is now ready for use.

NOTE:

Never fill the water above the MAX line or below the MIN line indicated on the glass jar.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The Electric Kettle+ is perfect for all your hot-water needs: Hot or iced tea, instant or pour-over coffee, instant oatmeal, and more. The bonus tea infuser lets you brew your favorite loose-leaf or bagged teas directly in the stain-resistant, borosilicate glass kettle. The kettle lights up with bright LEDs and lifts easily from its base for easy filling at the sink and cord-free serving; it can also be returned to its power source from any direction, making it work well for both righties and lefties.

HOW TO MAKE TEA WITH TEA INFUSER

1. Place kettle base on flat surface.

2. Remove tea infuser from kettle by opening lid, grasping the tea infuser insert using the pinch bar, and lifting it up.

3. Fill the kettle to at least the MIN line and not above the MAX line

(1.8 liters) with cold, fresh water and place the kettle securely onto its base.

4. Plug in unit. The kettle will alight white, meaning it’s in standby mode.

5. Choose one of the presets (suggested temperatures for optimal brewing of specific kinds of teas) or your own preferred temperature by pressing the up and down arrows on the handle. Hold the button down to go through just the presets. Pulse the button to scroll through temperatures in intervals as well as presets to find the perfect temperature for you.

NOTE:

You can switch temperature units (°F and °C) by holding down both the up and down arrow buttons for 5 seconds.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

6. After choosing the temperature, press Start. The indicator lights will turn red indicating heating. The display will show the average live temperature of the water as the heat increases. (You can cancel heating at any time by pressing Stop.)

7. Meanwhile, slide the top plastic holder off removable infuser and fill the metal mesh container with either loose tea (about 2 teaspoons per cup) or tea bags based on the amount of water you’re heating.

Slide plastic holder back on. (Wait to insert the infuser until the desired temperature has been reached.)

WARNING:

Use extreme caution when adding infuser as kettle and water will be very hot.

8. When temperature is reached, the unit will beep. Carefully open the kettle lid and, holding the infuser by its pinch bar, insert it into the kettle with its rounded plastic side toward the spout. The top of the infuser should rest on the edge of the lid opening.

9. Securely close the lid and let tea steep according to directions, recipe, or preference. (See chart on p. 10 for suggested steeping times.) Using the pinch bar, carefully remove infuser when finished steeping.

WARNING:

Use extreme caution when removing the infuser as kettle and water will be very hot.

10. To serve, lift the kettle off its base and pour. If there is water or tea remaining, return the kettle to the base to keep warm for up to

1 hour. (See p. 12 for more about the Keep Warm function.)

Otherwise turn off the kettle by pressing Stop, then unplug unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE:

After the keep warm period ends, the unit will go into standby mode.

If there is no action within 20 minutes, the unit will go into sleep mode.

TEA BREWING TIPS

Use good-tasting water, preferably filtered, for best results.

Add more or less tea leaves than suggested depending on how strong you like your “cuppa.”

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

•

•

•

•

Avoid steeping for too long, which can make tea taste bitter.

If making iced tea, double the amount of tea leaves and steep a little longer so when chilled the flavor does not get diluted.

If your loose tea comes with brewing instructions, defer to those initially for optimum amounts and steeping time.

Save money by re-steeping tea. Though black teas generally give up all their flavor during the first brew, some teas, like green tea and oolong, may be re-steeped within a few hours; let them steep a little longer during the second steep for best flavor.

HOW TO HEAT HOT WATER WITHOUT MAKING TEA

Follow the directions for making tea with the diffuser on p. 8 but leave the diffuser out of the kettle. Presets and keep warm function all work the same; use hot water as desired.

SPECIAL FEATURES AND SAFETY FUNCTIONS

Recent Selection Saving

You don’t have to reset the kettle every time you use it. After first use, the default setting of your Electric Kettle+ will be the last setting you programmed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Automatic Keep Warm Function

The Electric Kettle+ will keep your water or tea hot for up to 1 hour.

During the Keep Warm phase, the unit’s indicator lights will be green, the words Keep Warm and a timer counting to 1 hour will display. When Keep

Warm time ends, the kettle will go into standby mode; the display will still be on and the indicator lights will be white. After 20 minutes with no action, the unit will go into sleep mode with all lights off.

Memory Function

The Electric Kettle+ features an internal memory that lets you remove the kettle from the base without the unit turning off. Instead, heating or Keep

Warm (depending on which mode unit was in) will pause and the kettle will continue heating or warming when it’s returned to its base. This is true so long as temperature has not dropped by more than 20°F during the time the kettle was without power. If it has dropped by more than that, the kettle will go into standby mode.

Boil-Dry Protection

The Electric Kettle+ comes equipped with boil-dry protection. While you should never heat the kettle without water at least to the MIN line, should the unit go dry or start without water, it will automatically shut off completely to avoid damaging the heating element. It will not come back on, even if you replace it to the base, until it has cooled down. To quickly cool it down, add cold water to the kettle.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Unplug the kettle and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

2. Clean the interior of the kettle as needed by removing the infuser and carefully rinsing the inside with soapy water. Do not let handle get wet. Rinse inside of kettle thoroughly. Wipe outside of kettle and power base with a damp cloth.

WARNING:

Never immerse kettle or power base in water or wash in the dishwasher; doing so will damage the unit.

3. Wash tea infuser in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly; the infuser is not dishwasher safe.

NOTE:

Reheating tea in your kettle may result in a bronze color tea stain appearance on the stainless-steel surface at the base of the kettle. This is caused by tea residue that adheres to the bottom of the kettle when reheated at high temperatures. After a few cycles, the surface of the stainless base may begin to turn a bronze color.

To avoid tea-staining, do not reheat the same pot of tea twice and always rinse the inside of your kettle before each brew. To remove the bronze color staining, dilute a small amount of food-grade white vinegar to a fresh kettle full of water and boil. After boiling, allow to cool and thoroughly wash and dry before your next use.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

DECALCIFYING

Due to minerals in water, deposits may form on the base of the kettle and cause discoloration. To get the best performance from your kettle, decalcify it from time to time. Frequency will depend on the hardness of your water and how often you use the kettle. You can either follow the directions using a commercial descaler or use vinegar and water and follow the directions below:

1. Fill the kettle with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about

½

inch. Heat the vinegar to a boil.

2. Repeat this with cooled vinegar until all deposits are removed.

3. When the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse out several times with clean water.
