FEATURES OF USE
The most interesting thing about the management of this kettle is the absence of a display, which has become an invariable attribute of modern devices. In this case, everything is clear and expressive, and the display becomes almost unnecessary, its role is performed by the temperature indicator. When the kettle is switched on, a buzzer sounds and the temperature indicator lights up with the set temperature value 100°C by default . Without turning it off, just by pressing the “- ” button, you can reduce the temperature to the desired one, and the corresponding light will be on and flashing as long as it is heating.
During operation, e.g. heating to 90°C, when reaching 70°C the corresponding light will turn on and the next one will follow – so you know what temperature the water has already reached.
When the process is finished, the indicator turns off and you hear a beep.
An interesting feature: you can change the temperature without interrupting the heating process.
DESIGN FEATURES
The most important thing is the wide window with water level indicator. It is easy to see for a person with any vision.
The lid is flat. No special button on the handle, as with many models. The opening button is located directly on the lid, which opens wide even with a light touch.
Rounded spout, no water spills over the cup, even if the kettle is empty.
Note that the maximum volume of water – 1.5 liters, this is slightly less than most models in the test.
The handle is open with a slight curve at the bottom, made of plastic that prevents the device from slipping out of your hands.
DESIGN
The kettle is part of the Kunststoff mit Edelstahl series. Available in cream, white or black. Manufacturers offer sets of kitchen appliances made in this design. In addition to kettles, you can buy a coffee maker and a toaster.
The best part is the combination of different materials: high-tech steel and modern plastic. And the plastic is expensive, high quality and very beautiful. The walls of the kettle and the stand are made of plastic. Top, heating element and bottom made of metal.
Kettle is quite large, even surprising that the maximum capacity of only 1.5 liters.
The control panel is designed with a horizontal stripe reminiscent of a trendy slider.
Everything concise, reliable, modern: high technology combined with care for every detail.
