Recommendations For Use; Cleaning And Maintenance - T-Fal Express Control Mode D'emploi

KEEP WARM FUNCTION
• Your kettle has a KEEP WARM function. If you have selected a temperature beforehand, the
water will be heated to this temperature and then kept at this temperature for 1 hour; if not
then it will be kept warm at 140°F.
• The maximum permitted temperature for the Keep Warm function is 200°F.
NOTE
• The screen will turn off automatically after 30 minutes (standby mode) but all the buttons will
remain active. This means that pressing any button will switch the screen back on.
• If you use the button to select a temperature less than that of the water already in the kettle,
the function will not be activated and the cycle will not start.
Example: if the water is 195°F, you will not be able to start cycles for temperatures of 140°F -
155°F - 175°F - 185°F.
Recommended temperatures :
– GREEN TEA : 175°F
– WHITE TEA 185°F
– OOLONG TEA 195°F
– FRENCH PRESS 200°F
– BLACK TEA BOIL 212°F
6. THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY
• As soon as the water reaches boiling point or the chosen temperature.
• Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the formation of scale.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

• Although all teas actually come from the same bush (camellia sinensis), their taste and type
vary according to their region of production, method of processing (different fermenting, and
drying processes and rolling techniques exist) and grade (whole or broken leaves, fannings and
dust).
– Green tea: Rolled dried leaves, which are chopped and lightly roasted to prevent them from
fermenting. Leave to brew for 3 minutes only. Green teas are subtleflavoured, often bitter,
and very pale in color.
– Black tea: Made from older leaves that are rolled, dried and fermented for a considerable
period. Brew for 5 minutes (or longer for Turkish or Russian tea). Gives a powerful taste and a
superb coppery color.
– Oolong tea: Midway between green and black tea. Slightly fermented. Brew for 7 minutes.
Lighter in taste and paler than black colour.
• Although purists drink tea plain, you may prefer to add cold milk to your cup before pouring in
the tea (with Indian or Ceylon tea), or add sugar and then lemon (with green or flavoured teas).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR KETTLE.
• Unplug it.
• Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
• Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electrical
connections or the switch must not come into contact with water.
• Do not use scouring pads.
