How to get started with your variable temperature kettle
Unbox, set up, and you’re on your way to hot drinks, quick meals, and more. Just a few simple steps, and your kettle will be ready to use. Here’s how to get started.
Give it a test run
Before first use, fill to the max line, boil, and discard the water. Now it's all ready for the real thing.
Fill it up
Press the lid button to open, add at least 0.5L of water, then click the lid shut.
Set it down
Place the kettle on the base – it’s now in prime position to get to work.
Pick your temperature
Slide the temperature lever to your chosen setting, from 50-100°C.
Switch on
Press the power button and watch the controls light up as it starts heating.
When it's boiled
Your kettle stops heating automatically, so all that’s left to do is pour.
The perfect temperature for every sip
Whether you're brewing a delicate green tea or making a rich hot chocolate, the right temperature can make all the difference. Here's our guide to the ideal settings for different types of drinks, so you can enjoy every one at its best.
60°C
Delicate (Bai Mu Dan or White Peony) and light floral teas should be brewed at this lower temperature to avoid bitterness.
60°C
70°C
Brew your green teas (Gyokuro or Sencha) and white teas (Silver Needle or Bai Mu Dan) at this temperature to bring out their subtle flavours without scalding the leaves.
70°C
80°C
Chai blends (eg, Masala Chai) and blooming teas (Jasmine or Blueberry) need slightly higher temperatures. Also perfect for certain types of green teas (Bancha or Genmaicha).
80°C
90°C
Black teas like Earl Grey orEnglish Breakfast, along with Oolong tea, hot chocolate, and instant coffee, will reach their full flavour profile.
90°C
100°C
Herbal teas (eg, Chamomile, Peppermint), red chai, and even instant soup do best at a full boil to extract all the flavours.
100°C
Keep your new kettle in top condition
To keep your kettle in top shape and ensure optimal performance, regular cleaning and descaling are key. Here’s a quick guide...
Cleaning the jug and base
Always unplug the kettle and ensure it’s cool before cleaning. Wipe the kettle and base with a damp cloth, then dry and polish with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasives or scouring agents.
Cleaning the filter
Remove the filter behind the spout and rinse under running water. Use a soft brush or cloth for stubborn deposits. If needed, soak the filter in a water and white vinegar solution overnight, then rinse and replace.
Descaling your kettle
Calcium deposits can build up over time. Make sure to descale your kettle regularly using a commercial descaler or a simple white vinegar solution. Here's what to do: 1) Fill the kettle with 0.5L white vinegar. 2) Add water to reach 1L and boil. Let stand overnight. 3) Empty the solution, fill with water, bring to a boil, and repeat twice. Now your kettle is clean, shiny, and ready to go.
