keeping water warm
You can use the keep-warm function to keep water warm at a temperature of 100°C (boiling
water)/90°C/80°C/40°C (or 100°C(boiling water)/90°C/80°C/70°C for the beige-wood brown
model).
There are two ways to keep water warm: at the current temperature, or at a temperature higher
than the current temperature.
Only use the keep-warm function when there is at least 0.5l water in the kettle. If there is too
little water in the kettle, the kettle may switch off within 30 minutes to protect the heating
element.
