Using your Smart KettleEspressions Quiet Shield®
The Espressions Smart Kettle features the
Espressions Quiet Shield® which is new and
exclusive quietboil technology designed to make
boiling water a peaceful practice.
The Espressions Quiet Shield® is a stainless steel
disk attached to the kettle floor which acts as
a diffuser plate. It is perforated with a range of
holes which help disperse, and reduce the size of,
the water bubbles thus significantly reducing the
noise of the boiling process.
Maintaining the Quiet Boil Technology.
Mineral deposits in tap water solidify when
the water is heated; lime scale may be white,
coloured, even rusty-looking and is normally
visible but phosphate scale isn’t generally visible
although may cause the water to appear cloudy
when heated.
Regular use of the kettle can lead to the build-up
of these minerals which reduces the effectiveness
of the Espressions Quiet Shield® as well as the
performance of the kettle.
It is important to descale your kettle regularly to
maintain the Quiet Shield® and to prolong the life
of the kettle.
Espressions recommend that the kettle is descaled
every 4-6 weeks. Go to page 10 for more
information on how to descale your Espressions
Smart Kettle.
Before using your kettle.
It is recommended that you clean your kettle
before using it by filling the kettle with water to
the maximum level indicator, boiling the water
and discarding.
Important: Do not fill the kettle over the maximum
level, as water may spill out of the spout when
boiling.
1. To fill the kettle, remove it from the power
base and lift the lid, by pressing the button at
the top of the handle.
2. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water.
Always fill the kettle between the minimum
and maximum marks. Do not fill the kettle
below the ‘min’ indication because too little
water may result in the kettle switching off
before the water has boiled because of the boil
dry protection safety feature.
3. Push the lid closed firmly until it locks into
position.
4. Place the kettle onto the power base. Plug
the power cord into a 230-240 Volt AC power
outlet and switch the power on.
Note: If the kettle is not positioned on top of the
power base correctly the LCD panel will show
‘--:--°C’ and Current Temp before going into sleep
mode.
Using your Espressions Smart Kettle
Tip: The Espressions Smart Kettle has five
optimum tea temperatures you can select from:
80°C, 85°C, 90°C, 95°C and 100°C (Just Boil).
Refer to the ‘Tea Brewing Styles and Tips’ table
on page 11 for the ideal water temperature for
your tea.
Note: The temperature settings are a guide only
and may vary depending on personal preference.
1. All the buttons are one touch buttons. Select
the temperature you require by pressing the
specified button and the heating cycle will
activate immediately. The temperature button
you have selected will light up and all the other
buttons will not be illuminated.
If nothing has been selected after 30 seconds
the buttons will cease to be illuminated. After 10
minutes of nothing being selected the LCD screen
will go into sleep mode.
Note: During sleep mode the kettle consumes
less than 0.5W.
2. When the heating cycle is initiated, the LCD
display will show the estimated amount of
time required to reach the selected water
temperature. The Time to Boil feature shown
on the LCD display will count down until the
selected temperature is reached at which
point the kettle will beep. The kettle will
automatically turn off once temperature has
been reached.
3. During the heating cycle the LCD panel will
display the increasing temperature and the
number of minutes and seconds remaining
until the selected temperature is reached
4. The kettle will beep once when the selected
water temperature has been reached.
Note: To cancel the heating process at any time
during the boiling cycle, simply press the selected
temperature button once or remove the vessel
from the base.
Note: If the kettle is removed from the power
base during the heating process, the kettle will
automatically reset, cancelling the heating cycle.
40° / Sterilise feature
1. To select the 40°C feature press the button
once. The water is heated to 40°C.
Note: The ESTIMATED TIME to boil will not
be shown when 40°C is selected because it is
dependent on how much water is in the kettle
Note: To ensure the water temperature does not
exceed 40°C the heating process is purposely
intermittent and therefore it could take a few
minutes to get to this temperature
2. To select the Sterilise feature press and hold
the button for 1 second. The sterilisation feature
heats the water to 100°C and maintains a rolling
boil for 5 minutes. When the sterilisation
feature is activated the LCD screen will display
‘STERILISE CYCLE’.

Optimum Tea Temperatures
The Espressions Smart Kettle has five optimum tea brewing temperatures 80°C, 85°C, 90°C, 95°C and
100°C (Just boil). Refer to the table below for Espressions’ recommended temperature for a range of tea
varieties:
Brew Strength and Time
The brew strength preference will vary from individual to individual, however we have provided below
some suggested brew times dependant on how strong you like the flavour of your tea.
Note: Certain teas should not be brewed for
more than 3 minutes, including certain green
teas, white teas and oolong teas. We recommend
you read the packaging of your purchased tea
variety for more detailed brewing instructions.
NOTE: These two tables are recommendations only and may vary depending on personal preference,
brand and age of tea/coffee used.
After 5 minutes the LCD screen will display
‘STERILISED’ and this will remain there until
the water temperature reaches 70°C at which
point the kettle beeps to alert the user that
this temperature has been reached. When the
temperature falls below 70°C the kettle will go
into ready mode.
Note: If at any point during the sterilising cycle
the vessel is removed the cycle will stop
Note: If at any point during the cool down period
the vessel is removed from the base or the
temperature of the water drops below 70°C the
water is no longer sterilised and STERILISED will
disappear from the LCD screen.
Note: If a temperature is selected which is below
the current temperature of water, for example
current temp is 90°C and 80°C is selected, the
selected temp will be illuminated and the kettle
will beep once when the water has naturally
cooled to that temperature
Time to Boil
The Time to Boil feature calculates the amount
of time remaining until the selected water
temperature is reached.
Note: Water does not boil evenly and the amount
of time it takes to boil is dependent on factors
such as the volume of water, the ambient
temperature, levels of mineral content and the
selected temperature. Therefore, the Time to Boil
is a guide only.
When the heating cycle is initiated, the LCD
display will show the estimated amount of time
required to reach the selected water temperature.
The Time to Boil shown on the LCD display will
count down until the selected temperature is
reached.
Note: If the current temperature is within 20°C of
the selected temperature the time to boil will not
be shown. The time to boil will never be shown if
the 40°C mode is selected
Keep Warm Function
1. To maintain the temperature of the selected
water temperature, simply press the ‘Keep
Warm’ button. This will maintain the temper-
ature selected for up to 20 minutes. ‘Keep
Warm’ will be highlighted on the LCD display.
Note: The ‘Keep Warm’ button can be pressed
when selecting your desired water temperature
at any any point (during the boiling cycle). It will
remain illuminated during the keep warm period
and KEEP WARM will be illuminated on the LCD
screen.
Sleep mode
The buttons will turn off after 30 seconds and
the LCD screen will turn off after 10 minutes to
save power. To exit the standby mode, press any
button or remove the vessel from the base.
Note: If any button is selected during Sleep
Mode, the kettle will automatically initiate the
selected function.

Espressions 3-Way Safety System Care and cleaning
Safety is a major consideration in the design of a
Espressions Smart Kettle. This is why we have
developed our 3-Way Safety System, which
ensures that your kettle will:
1. Automatically switch off after boiling.
For convenience, safety and energy efficiency,
your Espressions Smart Kettle will automati-
cally switch off after boiling.
2 Cut-out for boil-dry protection.
If the kettle is operated without water, it will
automatically cut-out, preventing any damage
to the element. If this occurs, allow the kettle
to cool before filling with cold water and
re-boiling.
3. Shut-down in case of change to over-heating.
In the event of overheating, the kettle will
automatically shut down to prevent further
damage. Should this occur, take your kettle
to a Espressions Service Centre or Appointed
Service Agent.
Always disconnect the kettle from the power
outlet before cleaning. Never immerse the kettle
switch area, cord or power base in water, or
allow moisture to come into contact with these
parts.
Descale Your Kettle Regularly
Mineral deposits in tap water solidify when
the water is heated; lime scale may be white,
coloured, even rusty-looking and is normally
visible but phosphate scale isn’t generally visible
although may cause the water to appear cloudy
when heated. This may cause the interior of the
water gauge to discolour, reduce the effetive-
ness of the Quiet Boil technology, cause over-
heating, trigger the boil-dry cut-out mechanism
or even reduce the kettle’s life.
Even in soft water areas it is important to descale
your kettle regularly to help maintain its lifecyle.
Note: Failure to descale products regularly can
be deemed as negligent handling and any faults
caused by mineral build up will not be covered by
the Espressions 12 Month Guarantee.
To remove this build-up, use Espressions Descaling
Tablets (EP001) or Espressions Liquid Descaler
(EP002) which are available from most retailer
or from Espressions Appointed Service Agents
Descale Using Descaling Tablets (EP001)
1. Fill Kettle to MAXIMUM 1L of tap water
2. Avoid contact with skin, remove one tablet
20g) from sealed pack.
3. Place tablet into kettle. The tablet will begin to
fizz and dissolve.
4. Activate the Sterilise feature. To activate
sterilise feature press and hold button for
1 second. Leave kettle until it beeps.
5. Empty water solution from kettle.
6. Rinse kettle with clean water.
7. Fill the kettle, bring to boil and discard all the
water.
8. If any deposits remain, wipe with a dry cloth.
Alternatively:
1. Fill the kettle with 1/2 cup of lemon juice and
the remainder with water and allow to stand
overnight. Allow to stand overnight OR for
quicker results, using the sterilising function
run through one cycle and stand for 4 - 5 hours.
2. Empty the water solution from the kettle.
3. Rinse the kettle with clean water.
4. Fill the kettle, bring to boiling, and discard. this
water.

To clean the stainless exterior
The stainless steel surface may be wiped over
with a damp cloth and polished with a soft dry
cloth.
Note: Do not put the mesh filter in the dish-
washer
CAUTION: Do not use chemicals, steelwool, or
abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of the
kettle, as these will scratch the stainless steel
surface.
To clean the mesh filter
