HEATING WATER TO A SELECTED TEMPERATURE
Your kettle’s variable temperature mode allows you to tailor the water temperature to
suit specific teas, coffee and even baby food and milks. The range is adjustable from
40-100ºC.
Heating water to a precise temperature depends on several factors. One of these is the
amount of water you are trying to heat. The final temperature of a small quantity of
water may overshoot the desired temperature. If it is important that the temperature of
the water is exact, we recommend using the Keep Warm feature of your kettle which
will allow the temperature of the water to stabilise naturally.

USING THE INFUSER AND STEEP TIMER
The steep timer allows you to time infusions when using the infuser accessory. You
must first heat the water to the desired temperature see HEATING WATER TO A
SELECTED TEMPERATURE. The timer can be set from 1 to 40 minutes.
Note: When using the infuser, only fill your kettle to the 1.5L marking. This will allow
room for the infuser and its contents when you insert it into the kettle, and prevent
water from being displaced out of the spout.
1. Prepare the infuser accessory by putting the desired amount of tea leaves into it.
2. When the water reaches the desired temperature, open the lid and put the infuser
into your kettle. The opening in the infuser should face the handle.
3. Tap the N icon.
