WELCOME TO THE CAPRESSO H2O PRO CORDLESS WATER KETTLE

The Capresso water kettle boils water faster, safer and more energy-efficient than your stovetop. The water heats quickly. When it reaches the selected temperature it shuts itself off. The Capresso water kettle is easy to operate. The universal power base is ideal for left or right-hand use. The display shows you when the kettle is heating up, is in warm-keeping mode, or if the kettle is off.

The variable temperature control (110°F to 212°F), the warm-keeping feature (110°F to 190°F), a chlorine reducing setting, and an extra-long boiling setting let you heat your water for any kind of application. The large capacity (up to 56 oz.), a dry boil detection and the safety auto-off feature make the H2O PRO the safest and most versatile kettle on the market today.

TO BOIL WATER (default setting)

  1. Remove kettle from base.
  2. Push the button on the lid (Fig. 1A). The lid opens itself.
  3. Fill with the desired amount of fresh cold water. The kettle has a minimum and maximum markings. Never underfill or overfill the kettle.

CAUTION / DANGEROUS: Never fill above the MAX line. If you fill above the max line, boiling water will push out of the pouring spout. This can cause severe injuries and burns.

  1. Close lid.
  2. Place kettle on Power Base (Fig. 1 G).
  3. Plug the cord into the outlet. The display illuminates and shows the kettle symbol and 212°F (Fig. 3a).
  4. Push the On/Off button (Fig. 2d). The kettle symbol will blink, indicating that the kettle is heating the water. The warmer the water becomes the more you will hear the noise of the water heating up.
  5. When the water comes to a boil the display will switch from the kettle symbol to the timer symbol (Fig. 3d). The timer symbol will blink for three seconds (default). Then the display changes back to the kettle symbol (not blinking) and the heater shut off.
  6. Lift kettle from the base and pour water out slowly. For different settings see chapters 4, 5, and 6.

DRY BOIL SHUT-OFF PROTECTION

If you turn the kettle on without water in the kettle, the heater will shut off after a few seconds. The display will go blank. Once the kettle has cooled down, the display will come back on again. This can take several minutes. To speed up this process you can fill some cold water into the kettle. You will hear a clicking noise. This indicates that the thermostat has reset itself. If you place the kettle back on the power base, the display will show the default setting again (Fig. 3a).

Please note AUTO-OFF. The kettle will always shut off after the selected temperature has been reached.

TURNING THE KETTLE OFF

There are two ways to turn off the kettle:a)During operation, push the On/Off button. This will not erase any programmed settings as long as the kettle sits on the base.b)During operation, lift the kettle off the base. This will turn off the kettle and erase any personal setting. You will need to select your personal setting again.

VARIABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL

According to tea experts, certain teas should not be steeped with boiling water (i.e. Green Tea should be steeped between 170°F and 185°F, most Oolong teas should be steeped between 190°F and 200°F degrees, water for French Press coffee should not be hotter than 200°F.

  • Fill your kettle with the desired amount of cold freshwater. Place on the power base. The display shows the default setting (Fig. 3a).
  • Use the arrow buttons (Fig. 2b) to select any temperature between 110°Fand 200°F in 10°F increments (110°F, 120°F and so forth) or 212°F.
  • Push the On/Off button (Fig. 2d). The kettle will heat the water to the desired temperature and then shut off. The display will show the selected temperature and the kettle symbol will stop blinking.

When you remove the kettle from the base and replace it, the default setting 212°F will be displayed.

WARM KEEPING

The warm-keeping feature can be used in two ways:a)to keep water at a certain temperature after it has reached the desired temperature.b)to first boil the water and then bring it down to the desired

  • The display shows the default setting (Fig 3a).
  • Push the program button once (Fig 2c). The display will show the warm-keeping symbol and 000°F.
  • Push the arrow buttons (Fig. 2b) to select the warm-keeping temperature between 110°F and 190°F.

Please note: the warm-keeping temperature cannot be set higher than the selected heating temperature, i.e. if the selected heating temperature isset to 160ºF, the warm-keeping temperature can be set between 110ºF and 160ºF.

Please note: if the selected heating temperature is set to 212°F or 200°F degrees the warm-keeping temperature cannot be set higher than 190°F.

After the selected heating temperature is reached, the display will now change to the preselected warm-keeping temperature. The warm-keeping symbol and the warm-keeping temperature are displayed. Once the water cools to approx. 10°F below the pre-set warm-keeping temperature, the heater will automatically start re-warming the water to the pre-set temperature. During this time the warm-keeping symbol will be blinking. The kettle will keep the selected temperature for up to 40 minutes. After 40 minutes the warm-keeping symbol stops blinking indicating that the heating element has shut off.

Please note: once you remove the kettle from the power base, all pre-sets are canceled.

Tip: If you want to pour water immediately after brewing and then keep the rest at a certain temperature, proceed as follows:

  • Follow the instructions under chapter 1 or 4.
  • Pour the desired amount of water.
  • Replace the kettle.
  • Select the brewing temperature by pushing the arrow buttons.
  • Push the program button once to show the warm-keeping display 000°F. Use the arrow buttons to select the desired warm-keeping temperature.
  • Push the On/Off button.

The kettle is now on. Depending on the temperature of the water it will either re-heat the water immediately or later.

CHLORINE REDUCING SETTING / EXTENDED BOIL SETTING

If you boil the water in the default setting, the kettle will shut off 3 seconds after the sensor registered the boiling temperature. You can prolong the actual boiling action as follows:

  • Set the Chlorine symbol to “CL”, this will add three extra seconds to the boiling of the water.
  • Change the Timer Setting from 003 (seconds) to any duration up to 20 seconds (020).
  • Prepare the kettle as explained in chapter 1.
  • Before you push the On/Off button, push the program button twice, the Chlorine symbol appears (Fig. 3c).
  • Push either arrow button once, the display shows “CL”.
  • Push the program button again. The display shows the timer symbol and 003 (Fig. 3d).
  • Push the arrow button to select up to 20 seconds.
  • Now push the On/Off button. Once the boiling temperature is reached the kettle will keep boiling the extra three seconds from the CL setting plus the seconds set with the timer.

Please note: once you remove the kettle from the base all settings will return to the default (see Fig. 3).

CLEANING

  • Always unplug the cord of the power base before cleaning.
  • Make sure the kettle is cold.
  • Clean the exterior surface with a clean, damp, soft cloth.
  • Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring agents.
  • Rinse out the kettle.

Attention:

  • Over time the stainless steel inside of the kettle may change color This is caused by the intense heat of the heating element, especially if the kettle was turned on repeatedly without water. This will not diminish the performance of the kettle in any way.
  • If your water has a high calcium content, calcium deposits might dull the inside. Follow the instruction below for decalcification.

DECALCIFICATION

Hard water can leave calcium spots inside the kettle. Use a commercial descaling agent and follow the instructions that come with the agent.

NOTE:Use of Vinegar

You can also use white vinegar to descale the inside.

  • Fill the kettle up to the desired level with the water.
  • For every 2 cups of water (16 oz) add 6 tablespoons of white vinegar.
