VARIABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL

different settings for optimal tea and
coffee brewing: 80°C , 85°C , 90°C , 95°C and
100°C.

NOTE
This product is not calibrated for commercial
or scientific use. Temperatures may vary
+/-3 °C degrees, being within range for optimal
brewing for each type of tea or coffee.
OPTIMAL BREWING
Tea varieties are grown and produced in many
different environments and require different
water temperatures to allow their unique
flavour and aroma to develop during brewing.
To bring out the optimal quality and taste of
more delicate tea leaves, a lower temperature
will produce a better flavoured cup of tea.
For example, steeping green, white or oolong
teas in boiling water may scald the tea leaves
and result in a bitter, astringent brew.
Brewing the tea for too long may also result in
a bitter, unpleasant taste, while brewing for too
short a period may leave the tea bland. For best
results always follow the specific directions on
the tea/coffee packet.
To bring out the optimal taste and quality of
your favourite tea or coffee, we recommend
that you use your Breville Smart Kettle™ at the
suggested temperature for your selected tea or
coffee.
The Variable Temperature Control Table
on Page 10 provides a guide to a range of tea
and coffee varieties and the recommended
temperature to select on the control panel of
the Breville Smart Kettle™.
KEEP WARM FUNCTION
The Breville Smart Kettle™ offers a convenient
KEEP WARM function that can be used before,
during or on completion of the water heating
cycle. When the water has reached the selected
Celsius temperature, the KEEP WARM
function will hold the selected temperature for
20 minutes. If the 100° button is selected when
using the KEEP WARM function, the boiled
water will remain at approximately 95° Celsius
for 20 minutes.
To activate the KEEP WARM function, first
press the desired water temperature button
from the five options on the control panel.
Then press the KEEP WARM button, followed
by the START/CANCEL button to commence
heating the water. Alternatively, the KEEP
WARM button can be activated at any time
during the heating cycle and/or within one
minute after the heating cycle has completed.
If the kettle is removed from the power base
during the KEEP WARM function the kettle
will automatically switch off.
NOTE
If temperature is changed during the KEEP
WARM function, the START/CANCEL button
surround will illuminate in red.
