The temperature adjustment capabilities refer to the specific temperature values that can be programmed into the electric kettle. It's important to note that this refers to automatic adjustment, where the kettle turns off or switches to temperature maintenance mode once the desired temperature has been reached.
If this paragraph contains several options separated by commas (for example, “60 °С, 80 °С, 90 °С”), this means that this model has several fixed temperature options. However, there are also devices with
smooth adjustment, which allows you to adjust the temperature in steps of 5 °C, or even 1 °C; for such devices, the entire adjustment range is indicated here, for example, "60 — 100 °C".
The greater the number of temperature setting options available in an electric kettle, the more versatile it becomes, allowing for precise selection of the optimal brewing mode for various types of drinks. Here is a simple table of recommended temperatures:
—
white tea — 60 °C;
—
yellow tea -70 °C;
—
green tea — 80 °C;
—
black tea — 90 °C;
— rooibos, hibiscus — 100 °C (up to boiling);
—
baby food — 40 °C.
Of course, there are exceptions to such rules — depending on the specific type of drink.
...For example, some varieties of green tea can be brewed at 90 °C.Declaring water helps reduce the content of residual chlorine, which is added to tap water for disinfection. The kettle keeps the water boiling longer than usual (typically 3–5 minutes) so that chlorine and its compounds evaporate. This makes the water safer and more pleasant to taste, especially if used for preparing baby food, tea, or coffee. Additionally, such a program helps kill more bacteria than with short boiling.
Decorative lighting of the body or capacity of the kettle. It has mainly aesthetic value — it improves the appearance of the device. Sometimes it can serve as a kind of indicator, for example, change the colour when water is boiling.
