[. . . ] The temperatures available are: 100 (boil), 95 (coffee), 90, 80, 70, and 60 (that's °C). The kettle will start to heat up. pulsing element 17 Initially, you'll hear the element pulse on, off, and on again, as it works to control the temperature accurately. 18 When it reaches the set temperature, the button will stop flashing and glow steadily. 19 After 5 minutes, the light will go out, and the kettle will go to sleep. changing temperature 20 If you get the temperature wrong, and want to change it: a) touch the correct button b) the button will flash while the water heats or cools c) when it reaches the set temperature, the button will stop flashing and glow steadily , Reducing the temperature may take a long time ­ you may prefer to pour the hot water away, and refill with cold water. switching off 21 To switch off manually, touch the glowing button again. 23 To save electricity, unplug the stand. general 24 Remove the kettle from the stand before pouring. 25 To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and don't over-tilt the kettle. 26 Don't tilt the kettle backwards, water might get on to the control area.
