TO STOP THE HEATING
You can halt the process at any time during the Heating or Keep Warm cycles by pressing
the START button. The display will turn completely off, confirming that power to the kettle
has been shut off.
TO KEEP WARM
After the water reaches the Set Temperature, the kettle will automatically enter the Keep
Warm mode and hold the water at the Set Temperature. (Except on the Black/Boil setting) In
this mode the Smartkettle® control will automatically cycle power on and off to the heating
element to maintain the water temperature you selected. During the Keep Warm period the
buttons will be flashing green to confirm that temperature control is taking place.
If the kettle is removed from the power base to pour the hot water, power to the heater
control is interrupted. Returning the kettle to the power base in a short period of time (less
than 4 minutes) will resume the keep warm cycle. The display will illuminate and the buttons
will flash green to indicate the keep warm cycle has resumed. If the kettle is off the base for
longer than 4 minutes, power will no longer be on when the kettle is placed on the base. To
resume the keep warm cycle in this case, merely press the START button twice.
For your safety, and to conserve energy, the Keep Warm function will not operate indefinitely.
If the cycle is not stopped manually, the keep warm cycle will remain active for 30 minutes
from the original "ready" beep. After this time, the kettle will turn off. If you want to continue
to maintain this temperature simply press the START button again twice and an additional
Keep Warm cycle (30 minutes of temperature control at the last Set Temperature) will begin.
If at any time a new Set Temperature is selected that is below the current water temperature,
power to the heating element will temporarily be off as the water cools to the lower Set
Temperature. The buttons will continue to flash blue to indicate a cycle is active. Once the
water temperature cools to the lower Set Temperature the beeper will sound and the normal
Keep Warm mode will be activated. This is the process you might follow if you wish to boil
(sterilize) the water before actually using it at a lower temperature.
Note: The beeper will only sound once when the kettle reaches the Set Temperature and
enters the Keep Warm mode. As long as the kettle is in the Keep Warm mode, however, the
buttons will be flashing green.
BOILING TEMPERATURE AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS
The unique electronics in the kettle are designed to detect boiling irrespective of the
geographic elevation at your location. At an elevation of 10,000 ft. for example, such as in
the upper Colorado mountains, water will boil at about 195°F while at sea level the boiling
point is 212°.
If you are at 10,000 foot elevation, for example, and set the kettle temperature to 212°F the
kettle will heat the water until it reaches the local boiling point of 195°F. It will beep when the
temperature is reached and automatically shut off. The general rule is that for every 1,000
feet above sea level the boiling point of water will be lower by 1.73°F. At 3,000 feet it boils at
207°F; at 5,000 feet the boiling point is 203°F.
Those who like their water fully boiling, can select the Black/Boil option as described above
and obtain that automatically irrespective of the local altitude or barometric pressure.
