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 Sage
®
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 Sage
®
Smart Kettle™.
KEEP WARM FUNCTION
The Sage
®
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.
